Ventricular Septal Defect Closure

Quadricuspid aortic valve is a rare anomaly, and most patients require surgery for aortic regurgitation in the 5th or 6th decades of life; only a few cases of aortic valve repair in childhood have been reported. A 3-year-old boy was scheduled for ventricular septal defect closure and aortic valve repair. Quadricuspid aortic valve was an incidental finding at operation; it was repaired by joining the left anterior and right anterior cusps. At the 9-month follow-up, the patient had no more than mild aortic regurgitation. We emphasize the importance of detecting this anomaly, especially in children with aortic valve regurgitation.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) morphology is a cause for aortic valve dysfunction in childhood or adolescence. Repair requires the use of patch material, and polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) has been proposed for this purpose because of lack of calcification. We reviewed our mid-term experience with PTFE for the repair of UAV to analyse the durability of this technique. METHODS Out of 21 patients with an UAV undergoing aortic valve repair for severe aortic regurgitation between 2014 and 2016, 11 patients (52%) were treated using PTFE patch material. Aortic regurgitation was present in all patients, the primary indication for surgery was regurgitation in 8, stenosis in 2 and aneurysm in 1. Symmetric bicuspidization of the UAV was performed in all. One patient required additional root remodelling for root dilatation, and another 3 tubular ascending aortic replacement. RESULTS No patient died in hospital or during follow-up. Seven patients (63.6%) required reoperation for progressive AR. Freedom from reoperation was 58% at 1 and 35% at 5 years postoperatively. At reoperation the PTFE patches were found dehisced from aortic wall and/or native cusp tissue. In 3 patients re-repair was performed; a stable result was achieved in 1. Two patients underwent valve replacement 3 months and 1 year postoperatively. The other 4 patients underwent valve replacement. CONCLUSIONS The repair of UAVs using PTFE patch is associated with poor durability, a more durable patch with better healing characteristics material is needed.

Aortic valve neocuspidization with fixed autologous pericardium according to the Ozaki technique has been proven to be an effective therapy for the treatment of aortic valvulopathies of various entities (aortic stenosis, aortic regurgitation, aortic valve endocarditis) in both tricuspid and bicuspid aortic valves. Thus, aortic valve neocuspidization with fixed autologous pericardium represents a versatile alternative to complex aortic valve repair, with better hemodynamics compared to biological aortic valve replacement and without the need for lifelong anticoagulation, which characterizes mechanical aortic valve replacement. The authors meticulously describe all the technical steps of this highly reproducible, standardized procedure.
