  • Mid- and long-term clinical efficacy of ascending aortic wrapping in adult patients undergoing aortic valve replacement

    ObjectiveTo assess mid− and long−term outcomes of ascending aortic wrapping (AAW) in adult patients undergoing aortic valve replacement (AVR). MethodsWe retrospecctively analyzed clinical data of adult patients who underwent AVR and AAW in Fuwai Hospital from January 2010 to August 2019. Ascending aorta diameter (AAD) was measured by echocardiography or CT scan preoperatively and postoperatively. ResultsA total of 33 patients were enrolled, including 23 males and 10 females aged 22−73 (51.06±12.61) years. There was no perioperative death. The mean preoperative, postoperative and follow−up AAD of the patients were 46.06±3.54 mm, 34.55±5.17 mm, and 37.12±5.64 mm, respectively. The median follow−up time was 38.20 (18.80−140.30) months. The median increase rate of diameter was 0.63 (−0.11, 1.36) mm per year after the surgery. The increase rate was>5 mm per year in 1 patient, and>3 mm in another one. ConclusionMid−term outcomes of AAW in adult patients undergoing AVR are satisfied and encouraging.
