From May 1983 to July 1987 a total of 153 Hancock II porcine bioprostheses have been implanted in 130 patients with a mean age of 59 +/- 8 years (range 29 to 76 years). Mitral valve replacement was performed in 72 patients, aortic valve replacement in 35, and mitral-aortic valve replacement in 23. Cumulative follow-up of 121 survivors is 223 patient-years and 100% complete (range 0.4 to 4.5 years). The actuarial survival rate at 4 years is 88% +/- 8% for mitral, 86% +/- 7.8% for aortic, and 84% +/- 8% for mitral-aortic valve replacement. Minor thomboembolism occurred in two patients (0.9% +/- 0.6%/pt-yr) with an actuarial freedom from emboli at 4 years of 100% for mitral, 96% +/- 3.7% for aortic, and 91% +/- 8.6% for mitral-aortic valve replacement. Anticoagulant-related hemorrhage occurred in 10 patients (4.4% +/- 1.4%/pt-yr) with an actuarial freedom at 4 years of 90% +/- 4.8% for mitral, 89% +/- 5.8% for aortic, and 84% +/- 10.6% for mitral-aortic valve replacement. Failure of the porcine bioprosthesis was observed in three patients with an actuarial freedom at 4 years of 96% +/- 3.6% for aortic, 91% +/- 8% for mitral, and 91% +/- 8.6% for mitral-aortic valve replacement. Actuarial freedom from all porcine bioprosthesis-related complications at 4 years is 85.7% +/- 6.6% for aortic, 79% +/- 9% for mitral, and 70% +/- 13% for mitral-aortic valve replacement. No instances of primary tissue failure occurred.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

From February 1975 through October 1981, 256 Hancock porcine bioprostheses (Johnson & Johnson Cardiovascular, King of Prussia, Pa.) (60 aortic, 169 mitral, and 27 pulmonary/tricuspid position) were implanted in 220 patients (104 male and 116 female, aged 9 to 67 years; mean 43.3) at Kyushu University Hospital in Japan. The procedures include 41 aortic valve replacements, 121 mitral valve replacements, 4 pulmonary valve replacements, 6 tricuspid valve replacements, and 48 combined valve replacements (31 aortic plus mitral, 13 mitral plus tricuspid, and 4 aortic plus mitral plus tricuspid). Hospital mortality was 6.4%. Follow-up was 98% during 8 to 14 (mean 10.5) years. Cumulative follow-up was 1836 patient-years and 2078 valve-years. At 10 years the overall actuarial survival rate, including hospital morality, was 70% +/- 3%, and freedom from valve-related mortality with sudden death was 87% +/- 3%. More than half of the current survivors required no anticoagulant therapy. Freedom from thromboembolism or anticoagulant-related hemorrhage (or both) and prosthetic valve endocarditis was common. Freedom from structural valve failure and reoperation declined more than 9 years after replacement of left-sided heart valves but not after replacement of right-sided heart valves. Sixty-seven patients underwent 68 repeat operations, and there were four deaths (5.9%). The rate of freedom from overall valve-related complications at 10 years was 62% +/- 8% for aortic valve replacement, 53% +/- 5% for mitral valve replacement, 80% +/- 13% for pulmonary/tricuspid valve replacement, and 42% +/- 9% for combined valve replacement. There was a significant difference between pulmonary/tricuspid valve replacement and combined valve replacement (p less than 0.05). The Hancock bioprosthesis is suitable for the replacement of valves in the right side of the heart but not for combined valve replacement.  相似文献

Early mechanical failures of the Hancock pericardial xenograft   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
From August 1981 to July 1984, a total of 97 Hancock pericardial xenografts were implanted in 84 patients, whose ages ranged from 13 to 75 years (mean 55.7 +/- 13). Mitral value replacement was performed in 17, aortic valve replacement in 54, and mitral-aortic valve replacement in 13. Operative survivors were reevaluated from July to September 1985. Cumulative duration of follow-up is 167 patient-years (range 0.5 to 4.1 years), and follow-up is 99% complete. The overall late mortality (at 4 years) is 3.6% +/- 1.4% per patient year, and the actuarial survival rate is 95.4% +/- 3% for aortic valve replacement, 74.7% +/- 16.5% for mitral valve replacement, and 67.1% +/- 20.7% for mitral-aortic valve replacement. One patient sustained a thromboembolic event after mitral valve replacement, but no such complications occurred after aortic or mitral-aortic valve replacement. Actuarial freedom from embolism at 4 years is 100% for aortic and mitral-aortic valve replacement and 93.3% +/- 6.4% for mitral valve replacement. Reoperation for Hancock pericardial xenograft dysfunction was performed in seven patients (five aortic and two mitral-aortic). In the aortic valve replacement group the causes were endocarditis in one, paravalvular leak in one, and primary tissue failure in three; all survived reoperation. The two patients with mitral-aortic valve replacement required reoperation because of primary tissue failure of both Hancock pericardial xenografts, and one died. All values explanted because of primary tissue failure showed commissural tears causing severe prosthetic regurgitation. Calcium deposits were severe in one and mild but unrelated to the cusp rupture in another. Collagen disarray was seen only at the site of the tears, whereas the collagen structure was well preserved in the intact parts of the cusps. Four patients with aortic valve replacement and one with mitral valve replacement show evidence of Hancock pericardial xenograft failure and are awaiting reoperation. The actuarial freedom from primary tissue failure at 4 years is 74.3% +/- 9.8% for aortic and 78.9% +/- 13.2% for mitral Hancock pericardial xenografts. At medium-term follow-up, the Hancock pericardial xenograft has shown poor durability and an extremely high rate of early mechanical failure, especially in the aortic position. These observations suggest the need for a close follow-up of Hancock pericardial xenograft recipients and possibly elective reoperation in asymptomatic patients with clinical evidence of prosthetic failure. These results have led us to discontinue the clinical use of this pericardial xenograft.  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Survival and prosthetic complications of patients receiving the Hancock II second-generation bioprosthesis (Medtronic, Inc, Minneapolis, Minn) in the aortic, mitral, mitral-aortic, and tricuspid positions were analyzed at 15 years' follow-up. METHODS: Between May 1983 and December 1993, 212 patients (104 men and 108 women; mean age, 63 +/- 9 years; age range, 29-81 years) received 66 aortic, 114 mitral, 26 mitral-aortic, and 6 tricuspid Hancock II valves. Thirty-one percent of patients had previous valve operations, 15% had concomitant cardiac procedures, and 87% were in New York Heart Association class III or IV. Follow-up included 1704 patient-years and was 98% complete, with a median of 9 patient-years (range, 0.013-17.4 years). Forty-six patients were at risk at 14 to 15 years, and 30 were at risk after 15 years. RESULTS: One hundred twenty-two (57%) of 212 patients died, 20 of them perioperatively. Fifteen-year actuarial Kaplan-Meier survival was 35.2% +/- 3.8%, and freedom from valve-related mortality was 84% +/- 3.5%, with no difference on the basis of position or age (<65 or >or=65 years). Percentages for freedom from thromboembolism, anticoagulant-related hemorrhage, endocarditis, and paravalvular leak were, respectively, 78.2% +/- 4%, 83.5% +/- 3.6%, 95.7% +/- 2%, and 97.3% +/- 1.4%, with no significant difference between the aortic and mitral positions. Freedom from structural valve deterioration was 71.8% +/- 5.6%: 88.9% +/- 6.2% in the aortic position versus 59.5% +/- 3.9% in the mitral position (P =.01) and 64.3% +/- 3% in the mitral-aortic position. In patients younger than 65 years, actual freedom from structural valve deterioration was less than that seen in older patients (84.5% +/- 3.5% vs 95% +/- 3.0%) and was better in the aortic versus the mitral position (92% +/- 4.5% vs 82% +/- 4.2%). CONCLUSION: The Hancock II porcine valve showed excellent 15-year durability. We recommend its use in patients 65 years of age, as well as in younger patients undergoing aortic replacement.  相似文献

The Hancock pericardial xenograft has been used in our Institution since August 1981 as an alternative to porcine bioprostheses. Up to July 1984, 97 Hancock pericardial xenografts have been implanted in 84 patients; of 76 operative survivors with a mean age of 55.2±13 years (range 13–75 years), 50 had undergone aortic valve replacement, 16 mitral valve replacement and 10 mitral-aortic valve replacement. Follow-up ranged from 0.5 to 5.2 years with a cumulative duration of 239 patient/years and is 99% complete. Actuarial survival is 92%±4% for patients with aortic valve replacement and 84%±10% for patients with mitral valve replacement at 5 years, and 77%±14% for those with mitral-aortic valve replacement at 4 years. Thromboembolic episodes occurred in 2 patients (1 after aortic and 1 after mitral valve replacement). The actuarial freedom from emboli is 100% for patients with mitral-aortic valve replacement at 4 years, and 96%±3% for patients with aortic and 93%±6% for patients with mitral valve replacement at 5 years. Reoperation was performed in 13 patients (9 aortic, 2 mitral and 2 mitral-aortic valve replacements), because of endocarditis in 3 (2 aortic and 1 mitral valve replacement), paravalvular leak in 1 (aortic valve replacement), and primary tissue failure in 9 (6 aortic, 1 mitral and 2 mitral-aortic valve replacements). Actuarial freedom from primary tissue failure is 72%±9% for aortic and 83%±8% for mitral Hancock pericardial xenografts at 5 years. Eleven xenografts explanted because of primary tissue failure were studied pathologically. All showed commissural tears with gross regurgitation; calcium deposits were severe in 2, mild but unrelated to the tears in 2 and absent in 7. Collagen disarray was observed at the site of cusp rupture while the collagen was well preserved in the intact areas of the leaflets. Our results show that: 1) Hancock pericardial xenografts have a high rate of early primary tissue failure, 2) primary tissue failure is caused by cusp rupture at the commissures and can be considered fatigue-induced, 3) tissue calcification does not influence the durability of pericardial xenografts which do not represent a valid alternative to porcine bioprostheses.  相似文献

Long-term results of mitral valve replacement using glutaraldehyde-treated porcine bioprostheses were evaluated. The subjects were 77 patients with the Hancock valve (Hancock group) and 60 with the Liotta valve (Liotta group) who survived operation. The maximum follow-up was 14 years and 8 years, and the cumulative follow-up was 631 patient-year (p-y) and 301 p-y in the Hancock and Liotta groups. The actuarial survival rate at 8 years was 80.1 +/- 4.6% for the Hancock group and 88.1 +/- 4.2% for the Liotta group, and there was no significant difference in survival rate between the both groups. The actuarial survival rate at 14 years was 74.3 +/- 5.9% for the Hancock group. The valve-related complications in the Hancock and the Liotta groups were as follow; thromboembolism 1.9%/p-y vs 1.3%/p-y, bleeding 0 vs 0.7%/p-y, perivalvular leak 0.3% vs 0, infection 0.3%/p-y vs 0.7%/p-y, primary tissue failure (PTF) 3.3%/p-y and all valve-related complications 5.9%/p-y vs 6.0%/p-y. There was no significant difference in valve-related complications between the both groups. However, the actuarial event free rate of PTF was significantly lower in the Liotta group than the Hancock group between 4 and 7 years after operation (100% vs 88.8 +/- 4.3% in the 4th year p less than 0.01, 87.7 +/- 4.4% vs 73.5 +/- 8.0% in the 7th year, p less than 0.05). Although the both anti-thrombogenicity and anti-inflammation were acceptable in the porcine bioprostheses, this prosthesis is now used only in the selected patients because of the limited long term durability of this valve.  相似文献

Late results of heart valve replacement with the Hancock II bioprosthesis   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
OBJECTIVE: To review the late clinical outcomes of patients who had isolated aortic or mitral valve replacement with the Hancock II bioprosthesis. METHODS: From 1982 to 1994, 670 patients underwent isolated aortic valve replacement and 310 underwent isolated mitral valve replacement with the Hancock II bioprosthesis (Medtronic Inc, Minneapolis, Minn). Mean age was 65 +/- 12 years in both groups. Most patients were in New York Heart Association functional classes III or IV, and concomitant coronary artery disease was present in 44% of patients in the aortic valve group and 41% of patients in the mitral valve group. Patients were followed up prospectively at periodic intervals. Mean follow-up was 87 +/- 45 months in the aortic valve group and 83 +/- 50 months in the mitral valve group, and it was 99% complete. RESULTS: Actuarial survival at 15 years was 47% +/- 3% in the aortic valve group and 30% +/- 5% in the mitral valve group. Older age, advanced functional class, impaired left ventricular function, active endocarditis, and coronary artery disease were independent predictors of late death. The freedom from thromboembolic complications at 15 years was 83% +/- 3% in the aortic and 87% +/- 3% in the mitral valve group. The freedom from infective endocarditis at 15 years was 96% +/- 1% in the aortic and 91% +/- 1% in the mitral valve group. At 15 years, the actuarial and actual freedom from structural valve deterioration was 81% +/- 5% and 90% +/- 3%, respectively, in the aortic group and 66% +/- 6% and 83% +/- 3%, respectively, in the mitral group. Younger age, mitral valve position, and poor ventricular function were independent predictors of structural valve deterioration. The freedom from repeat valve replacement at 15 years was 77% +/- 5% in the aortic group and 69% +/- 6% in the mitral. The vast majority of patients had functional improvement after valve replacement. CONCLUSIONS: The Hancock II bioprosthesis has provided good clinical outcomes and is a durable valve, particularly in the aortic position in older patients.  相似文献

Long-term evaluation of patients undergoing combined mitral and aortic valve replacement (MVR + AVR) with a porcine bioprosthesis provides the opportunity for a direct comparison of the durability of the mitral versus the aortic porcine bioprosthesis in the same patient. From 1970 to 1983, 71 patients underwent MVR + AVR with Hancock porcine bioprostheses. There were 46 men an 25 women ranging in age from 21 to 64 years (mean, 47.5 +/- 5 years). Sixteen patients (22.5%) died at operation. The survivors were followed from 0.2 to 11.5 years (mean, 5.7 +/- 3 years). Duration of follow-up was 313 patient-years and was 100% complete. Overall late mortality was 6.7 +/- 1.4% per patient-year (linearized incidence), and actuarial survival was 54.2 +/- 8% at 11 years. Endocarditis occurred in 4 patients (linearized incidence of 1.3 +/- 0.6% per patient-year); thromboembolic events were sustained by 4 patients (linearized incidence of 1.3 +/- 0.6% per patient-year); the event was fatal in 1 patient. Actuarial freedom from thromboembolism was 90 +/- 4.8% at 11 years. Reoperation for primary tissue failure was performed in 11 patients (linearized incidence of 3.5 +/- 1% per patient-year) with no deaths; in 7 patients both bioprostheses were explanted, and in 4, only the mitral bioprosthesis was replaced. The durability of explanted aortic and mitral porcine bioprostheses was not significantly different, and the evaluation of seven pairs of explanted aortic and mitral bioprostheses showed similar amounts of calcification. Actuarial freedom from reoperation because of primary tissue failure was 44.6 +/- 13.7% at 11 years.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)  相似文献

BACKGROUND: Mechanical valves have been recommended for patients on dialysis because of purported accelerated bioprosthesis degeneration. This study was undertaken to determine time-related outcomes in dialysis patients requiring cardiac valve replacement. METHODS: From 1986 to 1998, 42 patients on chronic preoperative dialysis underwent valve replacement; 17 received mechanical valves and 25 received bioprostheses. Age was similar in both groups: 54+/-18.5 years (mechanical) and 59+/-15.5 years (bioprosthetic, p = 0.4). Sites of valve replacement were aortic (27), mitral (11), and aortic and mitral (4). Follow-up was 100% complete. RESULTS: Survival at 3 and 5 years was 50% and 33% after mechanical valve replacement, and 36% and 27% after bioprosthetic valve replacement (p = 0.3). Four patients with bioprostheses required reoperation: 3 for allograft endocarditis and 1 at 10 months for mitral bioprosthesis degeneration. One patient who received a mechanical valve required reoperation. CONCLUSIONS: Prosthetic valve-related complications in patients on dialysis were similar for both mechanical and bioprosthetic valves. Because of the limited life expectancy of patients on dialysis, bioprosthesis degeneration will be uncommon. Therefore, surgeons should not hesitate to implant bioprosthetic valves in these patients.  相似文献

The long-term survival following valve replacement with Carpentier-Edwards or Hancock bioprostheses was compared between the two valve models and between the two groups totaling 407 patients who were discharged after valve replacement beginning in 1974. The two groups of patients were treated in a nonrandomized fashion. The actuarial survival for 299 patients with Carpentier-Edwards valves was 94 +/- 1.5% (+/- standard error) and 93 +/- 1.7% after 5 and 8 years of follow-up, respectively. Comparable figures for 108 patients undergoing valve replacement with Hancock valves were 89 +/- 3.0% and 83 +/- 3.7%, respectively (p = not significant [NS]). The probability of freedom from death and valve removal after 5 and 8 years of follow-up was 91 +/- 1.8% and 79 +/- 4.6%, respectively, with the Carpentier-Edwards valve and 84 +/- 3.5% and 75 +/- 4.3%, respectively, with the Hancock valve (p = NS). An accelerated rate of attrition for both valves was observed in the mitral position. There were no significant differences in actuarial survival between the two valves in the mitral or the aortic position or in the incidence of major valve-related complications.  相似文献

The Carpentier-Edwards bioprosthesis was implanted in 369 patients (414 valves) between May 1977 and December 1987 (age 67.2 +/- 0.5 years); 242 had aortic valve replacement, 80 had mitral valve replacement, 44 had multiple valve replacement, of which 41 were aortic and mitral valve replacement, 2 had isolated tricuspid valve replacement, and 1 had a pulmonary valve replacement. The selection criteria were the following: shorter life expectancy (253 patients) or contraindications to anticoagulants for organic (113 patients) or psychologic (38 patients) reasons, or both. The early mortality rate was 11.1% (aortic valve replacement, 9.1%; mitral valve replacement, 12.4%; aortic and mitral valve replacement, 23.1%). Total cumulative follow-up was 1456 pt-yr (mean 4.4 years, range 1 to 148 months), and the patient evaluation was 99.5% complete. Late mortality was 4.9%/pt-yr. Five-year survival was 70.4% +/- 2.7% overall, 74.3% +/- 3.2% after aortic valve replacement, 60.9% +/- 6.2% after mitral valve replacement (p < 0.03), and 60.7% +/- 8.1% after aortic and mitral valve replacement. Eight patients were reoperated on for primary tissue failure, and freedom from reoperation for structural valve deterioration was 97.5% +/- 1.2% at 5 years and 95.6% +/- 1.8% at 8 years. Failing aortic bioprostheses were explanted in four patients (0.4%/pt-yr) and mitral bioprostheses in seven (1.6%/pt-yr). No patient whose valve was inserted after the age of 70 had to be reoperated on for structural valve dysfunction. The probability of freedom from thromboembolism after 5 and 8 years of follow-up was 93.1% +/- 1.6% and 92.2% +/- 1.8%, respectively. The prevalence of anticoagulant-related hemorrhage was 0.8%/pt-yr (major 0.6%, minor 0.2%). Anticoagulants had to be maintained in 16.3% of the patients: 5.9% after aortic valve replacement, 35.7% after mitral valve replacement, and 45.8% after aortic and mitral valve replacement, while 80.0% were on a regimen of antiplatelet drug therapy. Prosthetic valve endocarditis happened in five patients (0.3%/pt-yr). Freedom from all valve-related morbidity and mortality, including hospital deaths, was 71.0% +/- 2.7% at 5 years and 58.6% +/- 4.6% at 8 years and was significantly better in the aortic valve replacement group (61.3% +/- 6.6% at 8 years) compared with the mitral valve replacement group (54.4% +/- 7.7% at 8 years; p = 0.04). This study confirms the satisfactory performance of the Carpentier-Edwards valve after aortic valve replacement in elderly patients.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 400 WORDS)  相似文献

Because little information is available regarding the clinical performance of the Hancock porcine bioprosthesis (Johnson & Johnson Cardiovascular, King of Prussia, Pa.) implanted in the tricuspid position, we reviewed the long-term follow-up of patients who had tricuspid valve replacement with this device. From March 1970 to December 1983, 45 patients had tricuspid valve replacement, either isolated (seven patients) or combined with replacement of other valves (38 patients) by means of a standard, glutaraldehyde-preserved Hancock porcine bioprosthesis. Follow-up ranged from 0.2 to 14.7 years (mean, 7.6 +/- 3.6 years) and was complete. The late mortality rate was 6.6% +/- 1.6%/pt-yr and the actuarial survival rate at 14 years was 23% +/- 9%. Reoperation because of structural deterioration of the tricuspid, the mitral, or both bioprostheses was performed in nine patients (3.7% +/- 1.2%/pt-yr) from 40 to 177 months (mean, 112 +/- 43 months) and resulted in no deaths. Actuarial freedom from structural deterioration of a Hancock tricuspid porcine bioprosthesis at 14 years is 68% +/- 13%. Morphologic examination of explanted porcine bioprostheses showed that those implanted in the tricuspid position had lower degrees of calcification and less severe structural changes than those simultaneously explanted from the mitral position. We conclude that the Hancock porcine bioprosthesis has an acceptable long-term durability and satisfactory performance after tricuspid valve replacement, and we continue to favor its use in the tricuspid position even in association with mechanical prostheses in the left side of the heart.  相似文献

From 1976 to 1988, 1,593 patients underwent valve replacement with a porcine (878 patients) or a pericardial bioprosthesis (715 patients). There were 701 aortic, 678 mitral, and 214 multiple-valve replacements. Follow-up was obtained for 1,559 patients (98%). Early mortality was 9% (79 patients) in the porcine valve group and 5% (37 patients) among patients with a pericardial valve (p less than 0.01). Late survival after replacement with porcine valves was 80% +/- 1% and 62% +/- 3% at 5 and 10 years, respectively. With pericardial valves, 5-year survival was 79% +/- 2%. Among valve-related complications, rates of freedom from thromboembolism, endocarditis, and hemorrhage after 6 years were similar for both valve groups. Freedom from reoperation at 6 years was also similar after aortic (96% versus 91%) or multiple-valve replacement (95% versus 88%). However, for mitral valve replacement, freedom from reoperation was significantly better with porcine valves than with pericardial valves at 6 years (92% versus 68%; p less than 0.001). This difference was mainly due to the Ionescu-Shiley valve, which accounted for 83% of primary tissue failures among pericardial bioprostheses implanted in the mitral position (10/12 patients). After 6 years, freedom from primary tissue failure of mitral valves was 92% +/- 2% with porcine and 70% +/- 11% with pericardial bioprostheses (p less than 0.0001). The degree of clinical improvement among survivors was similar with both valve types. Thus, in the aortic position, pericardial valves compare with porcine valves up to 6 years, whereas in the mitral position, the durability of the former is significantly less, mainly because of the suboptimal performance of the Ionescu-Shiley pericardial bioprosthesis.  相似文献

Two hundred fifty-three patients who underwent isolated mitral valve replacement with a porcine bioprosthesis had long-term evaluation. One hundred forty-seven patients received a Carpentier-Edwards porcine bioprosthesis and 106, a Hancock valve. There were no significant differences in preoperative clinical characteristics between the two groups. Cumulative follow-up was 1,375 patient-years. At 10 years, 93% +/- 2.5% of the patients in the Carpentier-Edwards group and 85% +/- 7.8% of those in the Hancock group were free from valve-related death (not significant), and 95% +/- 2% and 91% +/- 3.8%, respectively, were free from thromboembolism (not significant). At 10 years, 65% +/- 7.2% of the patients in the Carpentier-Edwards group and 66% +/- 7.2% of those in the Hancock group were free from structural valve deterioration (not significant), and 64% +/- 6% and 59% +/- 7.3%, respectively, were free from reoperation (not significant). We conclude that the first generation of Carpentier-Edwards and Hancock prostheses produce comparable long-term results in the mitral position.  相似文献

Late results after left-sided cardiac valve replacement in children   总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3  
Selection of types of cardiac valve substitutes for children remains controversial. Between 1976 and 1984, 166 children, 15 years of age or younger, underwent aortic (N = 53) or mitral valve replacement (N = 90) or both (N = 23). Biological prostheses were used in 84 patients and mechanical prostheses in 71; both a mitral bioprosthesis and an aortic mechanical valve were used in 11 patients. The overall early mortality was 9%. Mean follow-up intervals were 4.1 years for the bioprosthesis group, 3.3 years for the mechanical valve group, and 3.5 years for the group receiving both. The 7 year survival rates (+/- standard error) were 63% +/- 6% in the bioprosthesis group and 70% +/- 7% in the mechanical valve group (p = NS). After aortic valve replacement the 7 year survival rates were 66% +/- 14% (bioprosthesis group) and 77% +/- 9% (mechanical valve group) (p = NS); after mitral valve replacement the rates were 65% +/- 7% (bioprosthesis group) and 54% +/- 17% (mechanical valve group) (p = NS). The incidence of thromboembolic events was 0.6% +/- 0.4% per patient-year in the bioprosthesis group (none after aortic valve replacement, 0.8% +/- 0.6% per patient-year after mitral valve replacement) and 1.4% +/- 0.8% per patient-year in the mechanical valve group (0.7% +/- 0.7% per patient-year after aortic valve replacement, 4.0% +/- 2.8% per patient-year after mitral valve replacement) (p = NS). The linearized rates of reoperation were 10.4% +/- 1.8% per patient-year (bioprosthesis group) and 2.3% +/- 1.0% per patient-year (mechanical valve group) (p less than 0.001). The 7 year probability rates of freedom from all valve-related complications were 43% +/- 6% in the bioprosthesis group and 86% +/- 4% in the mechanical valve group (p less than 0.001). In the aortic position, a mechanical adult-sized prosthesis can always be implanted, and satisfactory long-term results can be anticipated. In the systemic atrioventricular position, the results are less than satisfactory with either type of prosthesis; every effort should be made to preserve the natural valve of the child.  相似文献

The long-term results in all patients undergoing isolated mitral, aortic, or double mitral-aortic heart valve replacement operated upon in 1975 has been retrospectively analyzed. A total of 153 patients received the standard Bj?rk-Shiley (flat pyrolytic disc) mechanical prostheses and 150 patients received the noncomposite Hancock porcine xenograft. Overall operative mortality was not significantly different between groups. All patients receiving a Bj?rk-Shiley prosthesis, but none in the Hancock group, received long-term anticoagulant therapy. Medium and long-term actuarial survival rates (5 and 10 years postoperatively) were comparable for the two groups (88% for Bj?rk-Shiley and 84% for Hancock [NS] at 5 years; 86% for Bj?rk-Shiley and 80% for Hancock at 10 years [NS]). The incidence of systemic embolism was similar in the two groups (1.6% +/- 0.4% per patient-year for the Bj?rk-Shiley group and 1.3% +/- 0.3% per patient-year for the Hancock group [NS]). Also the incidence of endocarditis was similar (0.6% +/- 0.2% per patient-year for the Bj?rk-Shiley group and 0.8% +/- 0.3% per patient-year for the Hancock group [NS]). In the Hancock group the overall incidence of reoperations was significantly higher than in the Bj?rk-Shiley group (4.2% +/- 0.6% per patient-year versus 0.9% +/- 0.3% per patient-year (p = 0.001). The major cause for reoperation in the Hancock group was primary tissue failure (3% +/- 0.5% per patient-year). In the Bj?rk-Shiley group the major cause of reoperation was valve thrombosis (0.5% +/- 0.2% per patient-year). Therefore, accepting the fact that other bioprostheses may behave differently from the Hancock noncomposite xenograft, we currently restrict our indications for valve replacement with bioprostheses.  相似文献

Results of reoperation for primary tissue failure of porcine bioprostheses were evaluated in 574 patients discharged from the hospital from 1970 to 1981. A total of 413 had undergone isolated mitral valve replacement and 161 isolated aortic valve replacement. Through March, 1984, 88 patients (15%) had required reoperation: 59 had undergone mitral and 29, aortic valve replacement. Primary tissue failure was the main cause of bioprosthetic dysfunction; it occurred in 64 patients (46 mitral and 18 aortic) at a mean postoperative interval of 93 +/- 4 months (range 34 to 158). During the same period, 11 patients required reoperation for bioprosthetic endocarditis, 11 for paravalvular leak, and two for thrombosis. These patients are not included in this review. Reoperation for primary tissue failure was performed after a mean interval of 72 +/- 6 months (range 38 to 158) for patients with aortic bioprostheses and after 101 +/- 5 months (range 34 to 153) for those with mitral bioprostheses (p less than 0.05). Overall mortality at reoperation was 12.5%: 11% for the mitral group and 16% for the aortic group. In 62 patients (45 mitral and 17 aortic) primary tissue failure was caused by calcification of the cusps, associated with severe fibrous tissue overgrowth in seven. Bioprosthetic failure was caused by an intracuspal hematoma in one patient with mitral valve replacement and by lipid infiltration of the cusps in one patient with aortic valve replacement. Actuarial freedom from bioprosthetic primary tissue failure at 12 years is 61% +/- 5% for the mitral group and 69% +/- 7% for the aortic group. On the basis of our long-term follow-up of patients after mitral or aortic replacement with a porcine bioprosthesis, we conclude: primary tissue failure is the most frequent indication for reoperation in patients with a porcine bioprosthesis; calcification of the cusp tissue is the leading cause of primary tissue failure; reoperation for primary tissue failure may be a major concern, although mortality for elective cases is low; and the limited durability of porcine bioprostheses suggests their use be restricted to selected patients.  相似文献

The influence of type of prosthesis on the late outcome of patients with combined mitral-aortic valve replacement was analyzed by comparing, at a 14-year follow-up, patients receiving two biological prostheses (group 1; n = 135), two mechanical prostheses (group 2; n = 221), or a mechanical prosthesis in the aortic position and a bioprosthesis in the mitral position (group 3; n = 97). No difference was found among the three groups in terms of actuarial survival and incidence of and freedom from valve-related deaths, thromboemboli, and hemorrhages. Patients with biological prostheses had a significantly greater incidence of structural valve deterioration, reoperations, and overall complications when compared with patients with only mechanical prostheses. The results of an extended follow-up of patients with combined mitral-aortic valve replacement indicate that mechanical prostheses perform better in the long-term owing to their superior durability when compared with biological valves. The use of bioprostheses should be confined to old patients with limited life expectancy because of their cardiac disease, provided that anticoagulants are not used. Combination of mechanical and biological prostheses in the same patient should be avoided because the advantages of each type of prosthesis are lost.  相似文献

The Hancock II bioprosthesis was used for heart valve replacement in 614 patients from 1982 to 1990. Aortic valve replacement (AVR) was performed in 376 patients, mitral valve replacement (MVR) in 195, and aortic and mitral valve replacement (DVR) in 43. The mean age was 62.7 years, and 78% of all patients were in New York Heart Association functional class III or IV before operation. Coronary artery bypass graft was necessary in 232 patients and replacement of ascending aorta in 55. There were 31 operative deaths (AVR, 4%; MVR, 6%; DVR, 9%). Follow-up was complete in 98.5% of the patients and extended from 12 to 103 months, with a mean of 49 months. At the last follow-up, 85% of the patients were in New York Heart Association class I or II. The actuarial survival at 8 years was 79% +/- 3% for AVR, 68% +/- 4% for MVR, and 65% +/- 10% for DVR. The freedom from stroke at 8 years was 93% +/- 2% for AVR, 83% +/- 5% for MVR, and 90% +/- 5% for DVR. At the end of 8 years 96% +/- 1% of all patients were free from endocarditis, 92% +/- 1% were free from primary tissue failure, and 89% +/- 3% were free from reoperation. The actuarial freedom from valve-related death at 8 years was 98% +/- 1% for AVR, 86% +/- 5% for MVR, and 91% +/- 6% for DVR. Hemodynamic assessment was obtained by Doppler echocardiography in all operative survivors and demonstrated satisfactorily effective valve orifices and transvalvular gradients. The clinical results obtained with the Hancock II bioprosthesis have been gratifying, particularly in the aortic position. This bioprosthesis is our biological valve of choice.  相似文献

OBJECTIVES: Reoperation is a relatively common event in patients with prosthetic heart valves, but its actual occurrence can vary widely from one patient to another. With a focus on bioprosthetic valves, this study examines risk factors for reoperation in a large patient cohort. METHODS: Patients (N=3233) who underwent a total of 3633 operations for aortic (AVR) or mitral valve replacement (MVR) between 1970 and 2002 were prospectively followed (total 21,179 patient-years; mean 6.6+/-5.0 years; maximum 32.4 years). The incidence of prosthetic valve reoperation and the impact of patient- and valve-related variables were determined with actual and actuarial methods. RESULTS: Fifteen-year actual freedom from all-cause reoperation was 94.1% for aortic mechanical valves, 61.4% for aortic bioprosthetic valves, 94.8% for mitral mechanical valves, and 63.3% for mitral bioprosthetic valves. In both aortic and mitral positions, current bioprosthesis models had significantly better durability than discontinued bioprostheses (15-year reoperation odds-ratio 0.11+/-0.04; P<0.01 for aortic, and 0.42+/-0.14; P=0.009 for mitral). Current bioprostheses were significantly more durable in the aortic position than in the mitral position (14.3+/-6.8% more freedom from 15-year reoperation; (P=0.018)). Older age was protective, but smoking was an independent risk factor for reoperation after bioprosthetic AVR and MVR (hazard ratio for smoking 2.58 and 1.78, respectively). In patients with aortic bioprostheses, persistent left ventricular hypertrophy at follow-up and smaller prosthesis size predicted an increased incidence of reoperation, while this was not observed in patients with mitral bioprostheses. CONCLUSIONS: These analyses indicate that current bioprostheses have significantly better durability than discontinued bioprostheses, reveal a detrimental impact for smoking after AVR and MVR, and indicate an increased reoperation risk in patients with a small aortic bioprosthesis or with persistent left ventricular hypertrophy after AVR.  相似文献
