[Plastic correction of aortic stenosis in two- and three heart valve diseases].
Grudnaia i Serdechno-sosudistaia Khirurgiia 1991 August
Plastic correction of aortic stenosis with simultaneous intervention on the mitral and, in some cases, on the tricuspid valve was performed on 50 patients whose ages ranged from 25 to 53 years (average age 43.2 years); 15 were in NYHA functional class III and 35 in class IV. There were 38 females and 12 males. Correction of the aortic stenosis was achieved by open valvulotomy and additional plane resection of the cusps, suture plastic was conducted whenever necessary. In 6 cases calcinates were removed form the cusps simultaneously. Mitral valve prosthetics was undertaken in 42 patients, and open mitral commissurotomy in 8 patients. In 17 patients aortic and mitral stenoses were attended by defect of the tricuspid valve which called for plastic correction. Among the 50 patients who underwent operation 8 (16.0%) died. there were no fatal outcomes among patients related to the NYHA functional class III. In 41 cases the result of aortic stenosis correction was satisfactory, which was confirmed by clinical and echocardiographic data. After the operation, opening of the aortic valve cusps during echocardiography in the M-regimen increased, on average, from 12 +/- 2.0 to 18 +/- 2.6 mm. According to doppler-echocardiogram, the gradient on the aortic valve reduced, on average, from 45 +/- 5.0 to 26.5 +/- 4.0 mm. Only in one female patient aortic incompetence started progressing after the operation and called for prosthetics 6 months later.
