Background: Aortic valve (AV) replacement is the gold standard treatment for severe symptomatic AV disease. Recently, AV reconstruction surgery (Ozaki procedure) emerges as a surgical alternative with good results in the medium term.
Methods: We retrospectively analyzed 37 patients who underwent AV reconstruction surgery between January 2018 and June 2020 in a national reference center in Lima, Peru.
Article Synopsis
- Pulmonary valve surgery in adults is rare but suggested when needed, typically involving prosthetic replacement.
- Mechanical prostheses pose risks related to blood clots and need for blood thinners, while biologic ones lack long-term durability.
- PV reconstruction surgery offers a promising alternative, avoiding anticoagulation and showing good durability, as demonstrated in four patients with severe valve issues.
Article Synopsis
- CABG surgery using bilateral internal mammary arteries (BIMA) shows improved long-term survival rates in patients with multivessel coronary disease.
- A study conducted at INCOR, Peru, from 2012 to 2015 found that among 36 CABG patients, the 30-day mortality rate was 0% and major cardiovascular events occurred in only 5.56%.
- The results suggest that CABG with BIMA is a safe option with low risk of mortality and complications shortly after surgery, making it a viable choice for patients.
