Attitude towards a moderate aortic valve dysfunction during rheumatic mitral valve surgery: a retrospective cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

There are insufficient data regarding how to deal with moderate aortic valve (AV) dysfunction during rheumatic mitral valve (MV) surgery. In this study, the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent rheumatic MV surgery with or without concurrent AV procedures were compared.

Methods

A total of 343 patients who underwent rheumatic MV surgery with moderate AV dysfunction were enrolled between January 2015 and August 2022, and a median 40-month follow-up was conducted. The more-than-mild AV dysfunction during follow-up was the primary endpoint event, while all-cause mortality and cardiac reoperation both before discharge and during follow-up encompassed the secondary endpoint events.

Results

Patients were allocated into two groups, including the no treatment
