- Abstract
- Background: This study aimed to evaluate the early and late clinical outcomes after repeat aortic valve replacement (AVR) for subaortic pannus in patients with mechanical valves. Methods and Results: Between 2001 and 2017, 51 patients (median age, 59 years; 42 women) with prosthetic aortic stenosis (AS) caused by pannus ingrowth underwent repeat AVR because of acute malfunction of monoleaflet valve (3 patients), severe prosthetic AS (30 patients), and moderate prosthetic AS at the time of tricuspid or mitral valve surgery (18 patients). The median follow-up duration was 100 (interquartile range, 64–138) months. Double valve replacement was performed in 45 (88%) patients. Median time interval from previous operation was 161 (interquartile range, 121–194) months. The explanted mechanical AV was monoleaflet and bileaflet in 16 (31%) and 34 (67%) patients, respectively. Concomitant procedures included 16 mitral valve replacements (14 repeat) and 36 tricuspid valve surgeries (15 replacements, 21 repairs). No hospital deaths or cases of heart block occurred. Overall survival and event-free survival rates at 10 years were 88% and 51%, respectively. Late complications included recurrent prosthetic AS (4 patients), new paravalvular leakage of the mitral valve (5 patients), and severe tricuspid regurgitation (2 patients). Conclusions: Although repeat AVR for subaortic pannus had acceptable early and late survival, recurrent prosthetic AS was frequently observed during late follow-up. © 2018, Japanese Circulation Society.
