Impact of explanted valve type on aortic valve reoperations- nationwide United Kingdom experience.
European Journal of Cardio-thoracic Surgery 2024 Februrary 2
OBJECTIVES: This nationwide retrospective cohort study assessed the impact of the explanted valve type on reoperative outcomes in aortic valve surgery within the UK (UK) over a 23-year period.
METHODS: Data were sourced from the National Institute for Cardiovascular Outcomes Research (NICOR) database. All patients undergoing first-time isolated reoperative aortic valve replacement (AVR) between 1996 and 2019 in the UK were included. Concomitant procedures, homograft implantation, or aortic root enlargement were excluded. Propensity score matching was utilized to compare outcomes and risk factors for in-hospital mortality was evaluated through multivariable logistic regression. Final model selection was conducted using Akaike Information Criterion through bootstrapping. The primary end-point was in-hospital mortality, and secondary end-points included post-operative morbidities.
RESULTS: Out of 2,371 patients, 24.9% had mechanical and 75% had bioprosthetic valves implanted during the primary procedure. Propensity matched groups of 324 patients each, were compared. In-hospital mortality for mechanical and bioprosthetic valve explants were 7.1% and 5.9%, respectively (p = 0.632). On multivariable logistic regression analysis valve type was not a risk factor for mortality (OR 0.62(95% CI 0.37-1.05; p = 0.1. Age (OR 1.03(95% CI 1.01-1.05; p < 0.05), Left Ventricular ejection fraction (OR 1.62 (95% CI 1.08-2.42; p < 0.05), Creatinine ≥ 200 mg/dl (OR 2.21 (95% CI 1.17-4.04; p < 0.05) and endocarditis (OR 2.66 (95% CI 1.71-4.14; p < 0.05) emerged as risk factors for mortality.
CONCLUSIONS: The type of valve initially implanted (mechanical or bioprosthetic) did not determine mortality. Instead, age, left ventricular ejection fraction, renal impairment and endocarditis were significant risk factors for in-hospital mortality.
