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.

Valve Replacement Surgery

The clinical study is reported of the results of heart valve replacement surgery with a new pyrolytic carbon tilting disc prosthesis manufactured in Italy. From March 1977 to January 1981, at the «De Gasperis» Cardiosurgery Center, this prosthesis has been implanted in 644 patients: 283 for mitral valve replacement, 240 for aortic valve replacement, and 121 for the replacement of both mitral and aortic valves. To have a sufficiently long period of post-surgery follow-up, we considered the results of 207 patients (124 cases of isolated mitral valve replacement and 83 cases of isolated aortic valve replacement), who underwent surgery consecutively from March 1977 to December 1979. The hospital mortality was 10.5% for mitral valve replacement and 4.8% for aortic valve replacement. All patients who were discharged from hospital, except 2, were subjected to clinical, electrocardiographic, phonocardiographic, ecocardiographic and radiological checks. The average follow-up period was approximately 20 months: clinical results were satisfactory. The probability of survival, expressed by actuarial curve, was, three years after surgery, 94% for patients who underwent mitral valve replacement and 97.5% for those who underwent aortic valve replacement. The probability of embolism was, three years after surgery, 8.5% for patients with mitral replaced and 5% for aortic. Even if further confirmations are needed the mortality rate and the probability of embolism related to this new prosthesis, are lower, over the same period of follow-up, than that found in the groups of patients who underwent valve replacement surgery, at the same Center, with Starr-Edwards and Björk-Shiley prostheses. The phonocardiographic and ecocardiographic characteristics of this new prosthesis were also investigated.

ObjectiveMinimally invasive aortic valve replacementsurgery (MIAVR) is an alternative surgical technique to conventional aortic valve replacement surgery (AVR) in selected patients. The randomised study Cardiac Function after Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Implantation (CMILE) showed that right ventricular (RV) longitudinal function was reduced after both MIAVR and AVR, but the reduction was more pronounced following AVR. However, postoperative global RV function was equally impaired in both groups. The purpose of this study was to explore alterations in RV mechanics and contractility following MIAVR as compared with AVR.MethodsA predefined post hoc analysis of CMILE consisting of 40 patients with severe aortic valve stenosis who were eligible for isolated surgical aortic valve replacement were randomised to MIAVR or AVR. RV function was assessed by echocardiography prior to surgery and 40 days post-surgery.ResultsComparing preoperative to postoperative values, RV longitudinal strain rate was preserved following MIAVR (−1.5±0.5 vs −1.5±0.4 1/s, p=0.84) but declined following AVR (−1.7±0.3 vs −1.4±0.3 1/s, p<0.01). RV longitudinal strain reduced following AVR (−27.4±2.9% vs −18.8%±4.7%, p<0.001) and MIAVR (−26.5±5.3% vs −20.7%±4.5%, p<0.01). Peak systolic velocity of the lateral tricuspid annulus reduced by 36.6% in the AVR group (9.3±2.1 vs 5.9±1.5 cm/s, p<0.01) and 18.8% in the MIAVR group (10.1±2.9 vs 8.2±1.4 cm/s, p<0.01) when comparing preoperative values with postoperative values.ConclusionsRV contractility was preserved following MIAVR but was deteriorated following AVR. RV longitudinal function reduced substantially following AVR. A decline in RV longitudinal function was also observed following MIAVR, however, to a much lesser extent.

Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia with adverse clinical outcomes. Aortic valve replacement (AVR) is one of the most frequently performed cardiac surgeries, although there is scarce evidence on arrhythmic outcomes. We aimed to evaluate AF during the first year post- isolated aortic valve replacement surgery and its clinical, analytical, and echocardiographic predictors. Methods: Severe aortic stenosis patients with no prior atrial fibrillation submitted to isolated aortic valve replacement surgery were included in our study, of which 316 remained in sinus rhythm and 24 developed AF. We performed logistic regression searching for AF predictors and a longitudinal comparison between pre and post-operative echocardiographic data. Results: Postoperative AF (POAF), diabetes, and follow-up indexed Left Atrium Diameter (iLAD) were significantly higher in the group of patients developing AF. POAF and iLAD were independent AF predictors at follow-up. No differences between groups were found regarding baseline and follow-up echocardiographic data except for indexed Left Ventricle End-diastolic Diameter (LVED), which failed to decrease after surgery in the AF group. Conclusions: POAF and iLAD independently predicted AF at 1 year following isolated AVR surgery in aortic stenosis patients with no AF history. iLVED did not decrease significantly at follow-up in AF patients, possibly reflecting adverse ventricular remodeling.
