Overall 10-year freedom from AV re-intervention was significantly lower in patients with PG ≥20 mmHg compared to PG <20 mmHg (76.8±8.4% vs. 89.1±3.0%, P=0.02), while 10-year cardiac survival was similar (89.5±4.2% vs. 82.3±4.6%, P=0.53).

Why the study?

Does a higher post-operative valve gradient (≥20 mmHg) increase the risk of valve re-intervention and death in patients undergoing aortic valve repair?

Population

471 patients who underwent aortic valve repair (AVr) between March 1996 and June 2010.

Comparison

Post-operative peak gradient (PG) ≥20 mmHg (n=113) vs Post-operative peak gradient (PG) <20 mmHg (n=358)

Design

Cohort

Follow-up

Mean 123.1±89.7 months for Group I and 147.1±108.0 months…

Overview

PG ≥20 mmHg after aortic valve repair was associated with higher re-intervention rates; hypothesis-generating for gradient targets and warrants prospective confirmation.

Does a higher post-operative valve gradient (≥20 mmHg) increase the risk of valve re-intervention and death in patients undergoing aortic valve repair?

Population

471 patients who underwent aortic valve repair (AVr) between March 1996 and June 2010.

Intervention

Post-operative peak gradient (PG) ≥20 mmHg (n=113)

Comparator

Post-operative peak gradient (PG) <20 mmHg (n=358)

Outcome

Freedom from valve re-intervention and deathhard clinical

A higher post-operative peak gradient (≥20 mmHg) after aortic valve repair is associated with a significantly higher rate of long-term valve re-intervention, particularly in younger patients.
