In this study, the authors aimed to analyze the one-year outcome after aortic valve (AV) repair versus surgical AV replacement (SAVR) in patients with aortic regurgitation (AR) using data from the German Aortic Valve Registry (GARY). A total of 8,076 AR patients were included in the analysis.

This study addressed midterm outcomes with the hemispherical aortic annuloplasty reconstructive technology (HAART) ring used for aortic valve repair (AVr). Seventy-one patients had AVr using the HAART ring—53 had a trileaflet valve and 18 had a bicuspid valve. Their median age was 54 years old and 79 percent were male.

The aortic valve visualization and pressure (AVP) device is a tool for intraoperative evaluation of the aortic valve after valve sparing or valve repair procedures.

In this session from the 2023 London Core Review Cardiothoracic Surgery Course, Professor Tirone David spoke on the development of aortic valve sparing operations over the last twenty-five years.

In this series of videos, Dr. Vincent Gaudiani shares his experience in the new field of surgery after previous TAVR and provides his tips for safely performing redo surgery for a variety of indications including TAVR early and late failure, endocarditis, and when further valve surgery is required.

Preinterventional frailty assessment is gaining relevance in both cardiac surgery and transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Nowadays, frailty assessment is an essential part of the heart team discussions when evaluating patients for cardiac surgery and transcatheter interventions.

The first video shows the removal of a Sapiens TAVR, which had become stenotic, and a replacement of a dilated ascending aorta through a mini sternotomy. The second video shows redo valve surgery in a patient who had a surgical AVR then a TAVR in place and required SAVR with left ventricular outflow tract reconstruction after removal of both the TAVR and the previous SAVR.

The study of acute aortic syndromes, particularly the study of aortic mechanics, is quite challenging due to the dynamic nature of the aorta, complex and variable geometry, and the presence of a valve in constant motion.

Current intraoperative methods for evaluating aortic valve repair often fail to predict the final echocardiographic outcome. The authors developed an aortic valve visualization and pressurization (AVP) device for use during cardioplegia and present results from its use in 24 patients undergoing valve sparing root replacement.

In this introductory video, Vincent Gaudiani sets the scene for his outstanding series of videos on preoperative surgery after previous TAVR.
