Perioperative bleeding is and remains a major complication during and after surgical interventions, resulting in increased morbidity and mortality. The main causes of a non-primary vascular-related bleeding are congenital or multifactorial pre-existing hemostatic disorders that have not yet been diagnosed, the operating procedure itself and acquired hemostatic abnormalities as a secondary phenomenon, e.g.

Objective: Cusp prolapse is an important cause of aortic regurgitation (AR) in tricuspid aortic valves (TAVs) and can be caused by myxomatous degeneration or cusp fenestration. Long-term data for prolapse repair in TAVs are scarce. We analyzed the results of aortic valve repair in patients with TAV morphology and AR caused by prolapse and compared the results for cusp fenestration and myxomatous degeneration.

- This study evaluated the long-term outcomes of root remodelling in patients with tricuspid aortic valves, focusing on the impact of cusp repair and annuloplasty from 1995 to 2021.
- The study involved 684 patients, with an emphasis on survival rates, freedom from aortic insufficiency, and reoperation over an average follow-up of 7.2 years.
- Results suggested that while root remodelling provides good stability, adding cusp repair improves valve durability, and annuloplasty enhances early valve function without significantly affecting the need for future surgeries.
