The optimal treatment of congenital aortic valve lesions is a controversial issue. This study was performed to evaluate the outcome after surgical treatment of aortic valve lesions in congenital aortic valve disease. Between the years of 2000 and 2008, 61 patients (mean age: 12.6 +/- 9.6 years, range: 1 day to 40 years) underwent aortic valve surgery for congenital aortic valve disease. Twenty-four patients had undergone previous cardiovascular operations. Indications for surgery were aortic regurgitation in 14.7% (n = 9), aortic stenoses in 26.2% (n = 16), and mixed disease in 59.1% (n = 36). The Ross procedure was performed in 37.7% (n = 23), aortic valve replacement with biological or mechanical prostheses in 29.5% (n = 18). Concomitant procedures were performed in 91.8% (n = 56) due to associated congenital cardiac defects. The overall mortality rate was 5%. Six patients needed reoperation. Implantation of permanent pacemakers occurred in six patients for permanent atrioventricular block. At the latest clinical evaluation, all survivors are in New York Heart Association class I-II and are living normal lives. Aortic valve surgeries in patients with congenital heart disease have had low mortality and morbidity rates in our series. Surgical technique as well as timing should be tailored for each patient. Aortic valve replacement should be delayed until the implantation of an adult-sized prosthesis is possible.

Objectives: This study attempted to evaluate the characteristics and prognostic value of myocardial fibrosis (MF) in aortic insufficiency (AI) patients with bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) or tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).

Methods: A total of 314 adults with CMR-diagnosed AI were retrospectively retrieved. Of them, 166 patients with moderate or severe AI were included and divided into two groups: BAV group (N = 46) and a TAV group (N = 120). Read More

Aspirin Alone Versus Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation: A Systematic Review and Patient-Level Meta-Analysis.

Background In patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation without an indication for oral anticoagulation, it is unclear whether single or dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) is necessary to minimize both the bleeding and thromboembolic risk. In this patient-level meta-analysis, we further investigate the effect of aspirin alone compared with DAPT for preventing both thromboembolic and bleeding events after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. Methods and Results We conducted a systematic review of all available randomized controlled trials comparing aspirin with DAPT. Read More

Background: Balloon valvuloplasty and surgical aortic valvotomy have been the treatment mainstays for congenital aortic stenosis in children. Choice of intervention often differs depending upon centre bias with limited relevant, comparative literature.

Objectives: This study aims to provide an unbiased, contemporary matched comparison of these balloon and surgical approaches. Read More

Background: Behçet's disease is an auto-inflammatory disorder categorized as a primer systemic vasculitis of unknown aetiology. Genetic factors, infectious agents and the irregularity of T-cell homeostasis are presumed to be responsible for the emergence of Behçet's disease. Characteristic symptoms are multisystemic.

Background: Autologous pericardium is widely used as a plastic material in intracardiac structures, in the pulmonary artery, and in aortic valve leaflets. For aortic valve reconstruction (AVRec) using the Ozaki procedure, it has produced excellent clinical results over a 10-year period. In-body tissue architecture (iBTA), which is based on the phenomenon of tissue encapsulation of foreign materials, can be used to prepare autologous prosthetic tissues. Read More
