Article Synopsis
- Relevant pressure recovery (PR) improves aortic valve function and reduces left ventricular load, but its significance in the pulmonary artery post-Ross surgery was less understood.
- A study of 92 patients using Doppler echocardiography revealed that increased pulmonary artery diameter is associated with a decrease in PR, which significantly increased the effective orifice area of the homograft and decreased both homograft resistance and transvalvular stroke work.
- Findings indicated that not accounting for PR can lead to overestimating homograft stenosis severity, misclassifying patients' conditions, and potentially resulting in unnecessary surgical interventions.
