OBJECTIVE: Aortic valve regurgitation in combination with dilatation of the ascending aorta and root requires a combined procedure to restore valve function and eliminate pathologic dilatation of the proximal aorta. Two techniques have been proposed for this purpose; the aortic root may be either remodeled with an especially configured vascular graft or replaced with reimplantation of the aortic valve within the graft. We have used both techniques depending on the individual pathologic condition of the aortic root.
METHODS: Of 107 patients undergoing operation for proximal aortic disease between October 1995 and November 1997, 40 patients had morphologically intact aortic valve leaflets in conjunction with dilatation of the aortic root. Of these, 15 patients underwent an operation as a surgical emergency for acute aortic dissection type A. In 29 instances, root remodeling in conjunction with ascending aortic replacement was performed; 11 patients underwent radical replacement of the proximal aorta with reimplantation of the aortic valve. Partial or total arch replacement was performed additionally in 27 of these patients. Other concomitant procedures were coronary artery bypass grafts (n = 11) and mitral reconstruction (n = 1).
RESULTS: Two patients died after repair of acute aortic dissection, for a total operative mortality rate of 5%. No patient died after elective surgery. Aortic valve function could be effectively restored with both techniques. No patient underwent reoperation on the proximal aorta; freedom from aortic regurgitation of grade II or more at 1 year is 88% with both techniques.
CONCLUSIONS: Depending on individual root pathologic condition, both the remodeling and the reimplantation techniques appeared to have their individual merits. Both result in adequate restoration of aortic valve function and elimination of pathologic aortic dilatation.
