[The formula of the aortic valve repair for bicuspid aortic valve].

Abstract

The treatment of aortic regurgitation( AR) with bicuspid aortic valve( BAV) repair is still uncommon as the reproducibility of the repair is low and the 5-year durability is poor. In this study, we examined a method of cusp suspension after triangular resection. In addition, the relationship between the length of the cusp margin and diameter of the sino-tubular( ST) junction was evaluated.We repaired 8 regurgitant BAVs between 1997 and 2011. The mean patient age was 35±14 years and 87.5% were male. All lesions were raphe type:7 were anterior-posterior type and 1 was left-right type. The basic technique was triangular resection of the pseudo-commissure.When the annulus or ST junction was dilated, annuloplasty or ST junction plication was added. Cusp suspension was performed in 7 patients. In 2 patients, the half-length of the cusp margin (d) was related to the diameter of the ST junction( D) as described by d=D/2+1.Two cases were on a 2nd pump run because of residual AR. The valve was replaced in 1 case, while the cause of AR was found to be symmetric prolapse in the analysis. The coaptation depth was 6.2 mm. Another case was re-repaired because AR was caused by an untied suspension suture.Seven cases( 87.5%) were repaired successfully. No in-hospital deaths or complications occurred. The mean follow-up period was 5.42 years (range 1~15). No patients required re-operation and no recurrent AR greater than moderate occurred. The mean coaptation depth of the 7 successful patients was 11±3 mm.When repairing a regurgitant BAV, triangular resection alone is sometimes ineffective due to the occurrence of symmetric prolapse. For reproducible repair, it is useful to add cusp suspension.Lastly, the rate of suspension is related to the diameter of the ST junction.
