Implication

Randomized trial evaluates outcomes of redo aortic root surgery using aortic homografts in infected patients, suggesting a promising reconstructive approach.

Key Points

To assess early and long-term outcomes of using cryopreserved aortic homografts for redo aortic root surgery in patients with prosthetic infective endocarditis.
Included 7 patients with prosthetic infective endocarditis undergoing redo aortic root surgery.
Utilized cardiopulmonary bypass, moderate hypothermia, and Custodiol® cardioplegia during the procedure.
Follow-up lasted an average of 58.5 months.
In-hospital mortality was 14.3%.
Postoperative complications included 42.9% arrhythmias and respiratory failure, and 28.6% multiple organ and renal failure.
Echocardiography showed satisfactory hemodynamic performance (mean gradient 3.0±1.2 mmHg at discharge).
