摘要
Anatomical variations in aortic root pathology, including combinations of dissection, aneurysmal dilatation, annuloaortic ectasia, and valve disease, defy standardized repair and mandate application of various surgical reconstructions. To examine these techniques, and their influence on morbidity and mortality, we reviewed 53 consecutive patients undergoing aortic root procedures. Thirty-two patients underwent total root reconstruction. Of these, 21 underwent Bentall procedures, 9 had a modification thereof, and 2 underwent a Cabrol reconstruction. Less extensive pathology was corrected in 21 patients with a partial root reconstruction. These included aortic valve replacement (AVR) and a separate tube graft in 14 patients, AVR and primary aortic repair +/- wrapping in 4 individuals, and AVR and patch aortic root enlargement in 3 patients. Mean age was 53.2 years (range 20 to 79). Nearly 20% had undergone previous cardiac surgery and 7.5% were emergencies. Early mortality was 4%. Complications included dysrhythmias (48%), myocardial infarction (4%), stroke (4%), pneumonia (14%), and pancreatitis (2%). There were no reoperations for bleeding. Three late complications, one pseudoaneurysm and two perivalvular leaks, were successfully repaired. Late deaths (13.7%) were caused by congestive heart failure (3), myocardial infarction (MI) (1), cancer (1), stroke (1), and accidental fall (1). Kaplan-Meier analysis reveals 1-, 5-, and 10-year survivals of 98%, 81%, and 66%. Survival and mortality data did not differ between groups, and except for the incidence of atrial dysrhythmias, complication rates also were not significantly different. This series illustrates the need for and the successful application of a selective approach to aortic root reconstruction.
