Abstract:
Objective This retrospective study was perform to assess risk factors of the type A aortic dissection after aortic valve replacement,in order to provide a basis for devising a strategy for future treatment.Methods From 2009 to 2012,23 patients were found type A aortic dissection and 20 patients were found aortic aneurysm after aortic valve replacement in Beijing Anzhen hospital.Analysis the clinical,pathology and surgery procedure characteristics of these patients,and assess the risk factors for type A aortic dissection after aortic valve replacement.Results After aortic valve replacement,There were significant different in age (P =0.012),bicuspid aortic valves (P =0.014),aortic valve regurgitation (P =0.009) and postoperative pathoanatomical characteristics(P =0.001) between type A aortic dissection group and ascending aortic aneurysm group.Multivariate logistic regression analysis indicated that age(P =0.032),aortic valve regurgitation(P =0.046) and pathoanatomical characteristics(P =0.002) were important risk factor for type A aortic dissection after aortic valve replacement,respectively.Conclusion Older age,aortic regurgitation combined and thinned or fragile aortic walls with systemic hypertension in patients with ascending aortic dilatation (≥45 mm diameter) at the time of AVR might be predisposing factors for postsurgical type A aortic dissection.These patients should be considered for concomitant replacement or repair of the ascending aorta unless the patient has a high operative risk.
