Overview

Should not yet change practice in rheumatic AR; leaves open durability and selection criteria for prospective validation.

Structured PICO

P
Population
n=22 patients with rheumatic aortic regurgitation (AR), 6 female. Concomitant procedures included mitral valve repair (n=13), mitral valve replacement (n=3), and tricuspid valve repair (n=1).
I
Intervention
Aortic valve repair
O
Outcome
Clinical and echocardiographic results, early death, and valve failurehard clinical

Aortic valve repair for rheumatic aortic regurgitation is feasible and yields good results in a majority of patients, though it is associated with a notable rate of early and late failures requiring replacement.
