Outcomes of Aortic Valve Replacement for Chronic Aortic Insufficiency: Analysis of the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Database.

ABSTRACT:

Background

This study evaluated outcomes and risk factors for surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for aortic insufficiency (AI) in a national cohort. We analyzed the incidence, outcomes, and risk factors for SAVR for AI in the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac Surgery Database.

Methods

The national database was queried for patients with moderate or greater AI undergoing isolated SAVR between July 2011 and December 2018. Patients with moderate or greater aortic stenosis, acute dissection, active endocarditis, concomitant procedures, or emergent operation were excluded. AI was staged using guideline criteria based on symptoms and ventricular remodeling. Operative mortality and morbidity were compared between stages, and risk factors for operative death were ident
