ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
Symmetric bicuspidizing repair has been shown to be safe and effective in the short term in adults and children with unicuspid aortic valve. Outcomes of extending this technique to patients with other forms of aortic and truncal valve disease have not been reported.METHODS:
We performed a retrospective review of patients who underwent the symmetric bicuspidizing repair at Boston Children's Hospital between December 2019 and June 2022 with a contemporary comparator group of patients who underwent other forms of bicuspidization. Survival, valve-related reoperation, and the development of moderate or greater aortic or truncal valve regurgitation were assessed.RESULTS:
There were 23 patients who underwent symmetric bicuspidizing repair and 18 who underwent another form of bicuspidization. Preoperative aortic regurgitation was present in 87.0%. Patients who underwent symmetric bicuspidizing repair more commonly underwent suture annuloplasty (100% vs 55.6%; P = .002) and ascending aortoplasty (78.3% vs 27.8%; P = .004). There was 1 operative mortality (2.4%) in the entire cohort and 1 late mortality. Freedom from moderate aortic regurgitation was 87.5% at 21 months after symmetric bicuspidizing repair compared with 43.5% for patients who underwent other types of bicuspidization; P = .03. Freedom from valve-related reoperation was 100% in the symmetric bicuspidizing repair group compared with 64.4%; P = .02.CONCLUSIONS:
The symmetric bicuspidizing repair may be safely extended to patients with various forms of congenital aortic and truncal valve disease. Longer term follow-up will be necessary to determine the comparative effectiveness of this technique compared with neocuspidization and the Ross procedure.Palavras-chave
