Abstract:
:We reviewed the reports of 27 patients who had an aortic valve replacement after previous coronary artery bypass grafting. The aortic valve disease -- mainly aortic stenosis -- showed a rapid rate of progression. In the time interval between coronary artery bypass grafting and aortic valve replacement of 4.6+/-2.2 years the peak-to-peak pressure gradient of the aortic valve rose from 20.2+/-14.3 to 63.0+/-22.7 mmHg. As there is a great interest to identify the patients with a high risk of a rapid progression because of a high mortality of an aortic valve replacement as the second cardiac operation following a coronary artery bypass grafting we also reviewed the cardiac catheterisation films and found a high incidence of calcification and impaired aortic valve motion (81.5% of the patients had already calcified aortic valves and 81.5% had a impaired valve motion) at the time of coronary artery bypass grafting. We concluded that if a patient has to be operated for coronary artery disease an aortic valve replacement should be considered not only according to hemodynamic criteria but also when the aortic valve is calcified or its leaflets' motion is impaired.
