Implication

May support functional gains with aortic valve reconstruction in select patients; leaves open durability and reoperation risk for prospective evaluation.

Structured PICO

Does aortic valve reconstruction improve valve function and prevent reoperation in patients with severe aortic valve disease?

Population

50 patients who underwent aortic valve reconstruction. Follow-up cohort of 46 patients (35 males, 11 females, mean age 39.1 years) primarily with rheumatic disease (n=27), infective endocarditis (n=16), or degenerative disease (n=3). Included isolated aortic valve disease (n=22), double-valve disease (n=16), and triple-valve disease (n=7).

Intervention

Aortic valve reconstruction (including subcommissural annuloplasty, cusp thinning, commissurotomy, free-edge unrolling, cusp extension with autologous pericardium, and aortic valve replacement with autologous pericardium)

Outcome

Aortic valve function improvement and need for reoperationhard clinical

Aortic valve reconstruction provides marked functional improvement in selected patients, though the need for reoperation remains a significant concern at midterm follow-up.

Limitations

reoperation remains an important problem
long-term follow-up is needed to assess the role of this operation
