The effect of stent and decalcification on mitral annular motion after aortic valve replacement

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the changes in mitral annular motion after surgery in patients with aortic stenosis.Methods: Patients receiving Edwards (Edwards) valves were included in the study.Echocardiographic findings were compared among the three treatments postoperatively, at discharge, and at 1 year after the surgery. Mitral annular motion was evaluated by e prime, using tissue doppler imaging.Results: There were 111 patients receiving Inspiris, 30 patients receiving Intuity and 241 patients receiving Sapien 3. The patients receiving Sapien 3 were significantly older, (Inspiris: 71 ± 6.7 years vs. Intuity: 75 ± 5.2 years vs. Sapien 3: 84 ± 5.1 years, p < .001), and prevalence of hemodialysis were significantly higher in patients receiving Intuity (Inspiris: 11.7% vs. Intuity: 46.7% vs. Sapien 3: 0.0%, p < .001).
