Continuous Beta-Blocker Therapy Delays Structural Deterioration after Bioprosthetic Mitral Valve Replacement

Abstract: The impact of continuous beta-blocker (BB) therapy on structural valve deterioration (SVD) after bioprosthetic mitral replacement was investigated. From 2000 to 2005, 138 such patients were propensity score matched in a 1:1 fashion (continuous BB therapy after surgery, n = 69; without BB therapy, n = 69). Median follow-up was 12.3 years. Cardiac mortality was comparable between patients with and without BB therapy (p = 0.13), while the 10-year freedom from SVD was significantly higher in patients with BB thera… Show more

“…4D). 65 If mitral valve surgery is indicated in the presence of previous cardiac surgery, the valve can be approached through a minirightsided thoracotomy. This type of surgery performed mainly on the fibrillating heart was compared with classic redo sternotomy by Patel et al 66 Propensity matching of reoperative mitral valve cases (90 patient pairs out of more than 400) demonstrated no difference in survival, but faster mobilization, earlier discharge and a trend toward lower operating times in the minimally invasive group.…”
