2 Aortic Valve Repair by Cusp Extension for Rheumatic Aortic Insufficiency in Children Long term Results and Impact of Extension Material P.O. Myers, 1,2 C. Tissot, 3 J.T. Christenson, 1 M. Cikirikcioglu, 1 Y. Aggoun, 3 A. Kalangos 1 1. Division of Cardiovascular Surgery, Geneva University Hospitals 2. Cardiac Surgery, Brigham and Women s Hospital & Harvard Medical School 3. Pediatric Cardiology, Geneva University Hospitals & School of Medicine

3 Disclosures The authors report no conflicts of interest

4 Introduction Surgical management of AI in children is problematic, lack of ideal valve substitute Mechanical: difficult life long anticoagulation, panus formation Bioprosthetic: rapid deterioration and calcification Homo or auto graft: no superiority in rheumatic AI Choudhary et al. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1999;118(3): Aortic valve repair: encouraging mid term results in selected patients Optimal hemodynamic conditions Avoid anticoagulation Allow normal annulus growth

5 Introduction (2) Efforts to improve patients selection and subgroups amenable to repair Cusp extension Developed to address aortic regurgitation due to cusp retraction Our mid term results Actuarial survival 97% at 1 and 3 years Duran C et al. Ann Thorac Surg 1991;52(3): Increase of AI from grade I to II in 2.5% of patients No significant increase in peak systolic gradient No reoperations Kalangos A et al. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 1999;118(2):225 36

6 Introduction (3) Other mid term results similar (5.2 and 4.6 year follow up) Bacha et al. J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg 2008;135:552 9 Bozbuga et al. Ann Thorac Surg 2004;77(4): Different pericardial materials used Autologuous / Bovine Fresh / Glutaraldehyde fixed No long term results Grinda et al. Ann Thorac Surg 2002;74(2):438 43

7 Introduction (4) Aim Update our cohort to assess long term results of tailored aortic cusp extension in rheumatic aortic insufficiency in children Assess the results using different extension materials Identify risk factors for reoperation

8 Patients & Methods Retrospective chart review March 1993 July consecutive children Grade III or IV AI with increase in LV dimensions 8 patients with peak systolic AV gradients > 20 mmhg Well documented h/o rheumatic fever (revised Jones criteria) in country of origin

9 Patients & Methods Surgical technique CPB Hypothermia to 28 C until 1999 Normothermia since 2000 Transverse aortotomy 2 cm above RCA Myocardial protection: selective antegrade hyperkalemic crystalloid solution q30min Careful inspection of AV Confirm tricuspid morphology No calcification
