The Impact

Abstract OBJECTIVES: The impact of sutureless and rapid deployment (SURD) valves on the clinical outcomes of patients undergoing minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MI-AVR) has still to be defined. The aim of this study was to assess clinical characteristics and in-hospital results of patients receiving SURD-AVR through less invasive approaches in the large population of the Sutureless and Rapid Deployment International Registry (SURD-IR). METHODS: Of the 1935 patients who received primary isolated SURD-AVR between 2009 and 2018, a total of 1418 (73.3%) underwent MI interventions and were included in this analysis. SURD-AVR was performed using upper ministernotomy in 56.4% (n = 800) of cases and anterior right thoracotomy in 43.6% (n = 618). Perceval S was implanted in 1011 (71.3%) patients and Edwards Intuity or Intuity Elite in 407 (28.7%) patients. RESULTS: Overall in-hospital mortality and stroke rates were 1.7% and 2%, respectively. A definitive pacemaker implantation was reported in 9% of cases and significantly decreased over the observational period, from 20.6% to 5.6% (P = 0.002). The Perceval valve was associated with shorter operative times and was more frequently implanted in patients receiving anterior right thoracotomy incision. The Intuity valve was preferred in younger patients and revealed superior postoperative haemodynamic results. CONCLUSIONS: SURD-AVR was largely performed through less invasive approaches and can be considered as a primary indication in MI surgery. In the SURD-IR cohort, MI SURD-AVR using both Perceval and Intuity valves appeared a safe and reproducible procedure associated with promising early results.

Abstract OBJECTIVES Minimally invasive surgical techniques with optimal outcomes are of paramount importance. Sutureless and rapid deployment aortic valves are increasingly implanted via minimally invasive approaches. We aimed to analyse the procedural outcomes of a full sternotomy (FS) compared with those of minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MICS) and further assess MICS, namely ministernotomy (MS) and anterior right thoracotomy (ART). METHODS We selected all isolated aortic valve replacements in the Sutureless and Rapid Deployment Aortic Valve Replacement International Registry (SURD-IR, n = 2257) and performed propensity score matching to compare aortic valve replacement through FS or MICS (n = 508/group) as well as through MS and ART accesses (n = 569/group). RESULTS Postoperative mortality was 1.6% in FS and MICS patients who had a mean logistic EuroSCORE of 11%. Cross-clamp and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times were shorter in the FS group than in the MICS group (mean difference 3.2 and 9.2 min; P < 0.001). Patients undergoing FS had a higher rate of acute kidney injury (5.6% vs 2.8%; P = 0.012). Direct comparison of MS and ART revealed longer mean cross-clamp and CPB times (12 and 16.7 min) in the ART group (P < 0.001). The postoperative outcome revealed a higher stroke rate (3.2% vs 1.2%; P = 0.043) as well as a longer postoperative intensive care unit [2 (1–3) vs 1 (1–3) days; P = 0.009] and hospital stay [11 (8–16) vs 8 (7–12) days; P < 0.001] in the MS group than in the ART group. CONCLUSIONS According to this non-randomized international registry, FS resulted in a higher rate of acute kidney injury. The ART access showed a lower stroke rate than MS and a shorter hospital stay than all other accesses. All these findings may be related to underlying patient risk factors.

The Impact

Objective Patients with severe aortic stenosis and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) have a poor prognosis compared with patients with preserved LVEF. To evaluate the impact of sutureless Perceval (LivaNova, Italy) aortic bioprosthesis on LVEF and clinical outcomes in patients with baseline left ventricular (LV) dysfunction who underwent isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR). Methods Between March 2011 and August 2017, 803 patients underwent AVR with Perceval bioprosthesis implantation. Fifty-two isolated AVR had preoperative LVEF ≤45%. Mean age of these patients was 77 ± 6 years, 24 patients were female (46%), and mean EuroSCORE II was 9.4% ± 4.8%. Perceval bioprosthesis was implanted in 9 REDO operations. In 43 patients (83%), AVR was performed in minimally invasive surgery with an upper ministernotomy ( n = 13) or right anterior minithoracotomy ( n = 30). Results One patient died in hospital. Cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times were 85.5 ± 26 minutes and 55.5 ± 19 minutes, respectively. At mean follow-up of 33 ± 20 months (range: 1 to 75 months), survival was 90%, freedom from reoperation was 100%, and mean transvalvular pressure gradient was 11 ± 5 mmHg. LVEF improved from 37% ± 7% preoperatively to 43% ± 8% at discharge ( P < 0.01) and further increased to 47% ± 9% at follow-up ( P = 0.06), LV mass decreased from 149.8 ± 16.9 g/m2 preoperatively to 115.3 ± 11.6 g/m2 at follow-up ( P < 0.001), and moderate paravalvular leakage occurred in 1 patient without hemolysis not requiring any treatment. Conclusions AVR with sutureless aortic bioprosthesis implantation in patients with preoperative LV dysfunction demonstrated a significant immediate and early improvement in LVEF.

Objectives: To evaluate results of minimally invasive aortic valve replacement surgery through right thoracotomy with some techinque improvements in Hanoi Heart Hospital. Methods: Surgery was performed via a small right thoracotomy in the second intercostal space. The third rib was detached by a wedge-shaped way using sternum saw. Cannulation approaches were central or peripheral depended on patients’ condition. Preoperative, perioperative, early results and follow-up data was collected and analysed. Results: There was 48 patients in the research. Mean age was 60,94 ± 11,53 (25-82), and 52,1% was male. 29,2% of patients had peripheral vascular disease. 22,9% underwent central arterial cannulation. 3 patients (6,3%) had pericardial adhesion. There was no early mortality, 2 patients had redo surgery due to excess bleeding. 1 patients had intestinal infarction. Mean follow-up time was 13,4 months. 91,3% of patients had NYHA I. 1 patients was dead due to intracerebral hemorrhage. Conclusions: With some improvements in techniques, minimally invasive aortic valve replacement surgery through right thoracotomy gave good early and midterm results in our center.

During the past decade, many surgeons have focused their interest on the development and improvement of minimally invasive techniques for aortic valve replacement. Although the minimally invasive approaches for the treatment of mitral valve disease have been standardized, the preferred route for aortic valve replacement remains a matter of debate. Access through a right minithoracotomy avoids opening the sternum; however, it requires a greater surgical ability and a learning period, even for experienced surgeons. This enhances the role of sutureless prostheses because these devices are associated with easier placement, excellent hemodynamic performance, and acceptable rates of pacemaker implantation and paravalvular leak. Herein, we report a series of 10 consecutive patients who received an EDWARDS INTUITY rapid deployment valve (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA USA) by a right minithoracotomy.
