1930’s- sought to increase myocardial blood flow indirectly with pericardial fat and omentum.

Arthur VinebergArthur Vineberg 1940’s- Mobilization of left internal mammary artery with implantation

of bleeding end into the left ventricle. 1964- follow-up study on 140 patients

33% mortality

Adult Cardiac Surgery: Valvular Heart DiseaseAdult Cardiac Surgery: Valvular Heart Disease

Aortic stenosis-Aortic stenosis- Age-related degenerative Mild AS: AVA > 1.5cm2 ; Moderate 1-1.5cm2 ; Severe <1cm2

Indications for surgery largely based on symptoms Syncope, angina, dyspnea and CHF

Aortic regurgitation-Aortic regurgitation- Calcific aortic disease, idiopathic degenerative disease, endocarditis,

rheumatic disease, bicuspid valve, aortic dissection, Marfan, etc. Indications for surgery

Acute AR- inadequate time for ventricular compensation Chronic AR- symptoms, decreasing EF, LVEDD >75mm, LVESD >55mm

Pathophysiolgy of AS

Except in the congenital forms, AS develops slowly

The LV becomes increasingly hypertrophied, and coronary blood flow may become inadequate

The fixed outflow obstruction limits the increase in C.O required on exercise.

The progressive LV outflow obstruction results in increased LV mass. This increase in wall thickness is a compensatory mechanism to normalize LV wall stress

Symptoms of AS

Exertional dyspnea Angina Pulmonary edema Exertional syncope Sudden death

Signs of AS

Ejection systolic murmur Slow rising carotid pulse Reduce pulse pressure LV hypertrophy Signs of LV failure (crepitations,

pulmonary edema)

Recommendations for Aortic Valve

Replacement in Aortic Stenosis

Symptomatic patients with severe AS

Patients with severe AS undergoing

coronary artery bypass surgery

Patients with severe AS undergoing surgery on the aorta

or other heart valves

Patients with moderate AS undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery or surgery on the aorta or other heart

valves

Asymptomatic patients with severe AS and the following;

Asymptomatic patients with severe AS and the following

LV systolic dysfunction

Abnormal response to exercise (e.g. hypotension)

Ventricular tachycardia

Marked or excessive LVH (>15 mm)

Valve area <0.6 cm2

Prevention of sudden death in asymptomatic patients with none of the findings listed under asymptomatic patients with severe AS

How to choose a valve

Mechanical valve in patients < 65years. Tissue valves in patients > 65 years Tissue valves in patients whose life expectancy is

< 10 year Tissue valve in patients who have problems

which are likely to cause life threatening bleeding.

Adult Cardiac Surgery: ACC/AHAAdult Cardiac Surgery: ACC/AHA

Aortic position Bileaflet- INR of 2-3 Other disk valves and Starr-Edwards- INR 2.5-3.5 In patients with higher risk of TE, INR 2.5-3.5 with addition of aspirin

80-100mg/d. (AF, ↓EF, prior TE, hypercoagulable state)

Mitral position All- INR 2.5-3.5

Adult Cardiac Surgery: ACC/AHAAdult Cardiac Surgery: ACC/AHA

Tissue prosthesis- Anticoagulation recommended in first 3

months, although aspirin alone in aortic position in some centers. INR 2.5-3.5

After 3 months, discontinue unless other circumstances
