Objective:This study aimed to compare perioperative outcomes between minimally invasive lower median sternotomy (LMS) and conventional full median sternotomy (FMS) in patients undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR). Methods:This retrospective cohort study enrolled 41 patients who underwent isolated AVR (25 via LMS, 16 via FMS). Patient demographics, intraoperative data, and early postoperative outcomes were analyzed and compared between the two groups. Results:The two groups were comparable in terms of baseline characteristics. There were no significant differences in intraoperative metrics, including operation time (LMS 238.6 ± 45.3 vs. FMS 264.9 ± 77.7 min, P = 0.177), cardiopulmonary bypass time (145.5 ± 41.6 vs. 140.9 ± 27.7 min, P = 0.700), and aortic cross-clamp time (116.4 ± 32.9 vs. 111.6 ± 23.1 min, P = 0.609). No red blood cell or plasma transfusion was required in either group. Postoperatively, there were no 30-day deaths or severe adverse events. The lengths of hospital stay (7.5 ± 3.6 vs. 7.6 ± 4.0 days, P = 0.972), ICU stay (1.9 ± 1.1 vs. 2.2 ± 1.0 days, P = 0.366), and mechanical ventilation time (12.5 ± 5.9 vs. 12.6 ± 5.3 h, P = 0.954) were similar between the two groups. Patient satisfaction with scar appearance was significantly higher in the LMS group than in the FMS group (92.0% vs. 37.5%, P = 0.001). Conclusion:LMS for isolated AVR represents a safe and feasible minimally invasive alternative to conventional FMS, with equivalent intraoperative efficiency and early postoperative safety profiles, and offers superior cosmetic outcomes. LMS offers a viable minimally invasive option without compromising procedural outcomes.
Paravalvular leak (PVL) remains a significant complication after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This study investigated the relationship between perioperative serum albumin levels and post-TAVR paravalvular leak. This retrospective observational study analyzed 1463 consecutive patients who underwent TAVR between 2013 and 2023. Serum albumin levels were measured preoperatively, immediately after procedure, and on postoperative days 1–5 and before discharge. Additional biomarkers including NT-proBNP and high-sensitivity troponin T were collected. Postprocedural echocardiography was used to assess PVL severity according to American Society of Echocardiography and European Association of Cardiovascular Imaging guidelines. Primary endpoints included correlation between various albumin parameters and PVL severity. The cohort included 851 males (58.2
Accurate prediction of 30‑day mortality after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) remains challenging. Existing models often overlook key preoperative laboratory variables. We aimed to develop and internally validate a preoperative risk prediction model using routinely available variables measured before the procedure.We state that predictors were preoperative‑only. We retrospectively analyzed 1,673 consecutive patients who underwent TAVR at Fuwai Hospital between 2013 and 2023. Patients were randomly split into a training cohort (n = 1,171) and an internal hold out validation cohort (n = 502). Candidate predictors were prespecified as routinely available preoperative variables. All candidate predictors, including laboratory parameters (troponin, D‑dimer, HbA1c, uric acid, etc.), were collected during the preoperative evaluation, within 3 days prior to the TAVR procedure. Independent predictors of 30-day mortality were identified using multivariable logistic regression. Performance was assessed with receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis, calibration assessment (calibration plots and Hosmer Lemeshow test), and bootstrap optimism correction; a nomogram was constructed from the final model. 30-day mortality was 3.4
Background and Objective: In clinical practice, valve-sparing aortic root replacement surgery primarily addresses left ventricular dysfunction in patients due to severe aortic regurgitation, but there is controversy regarding the choice of surgical technique. In order to investigate which type of valve-sparing aortic root replacement surgeries can achieve better blood flow conditions, this study examines the impact of changes in the geometric morphology of the aortic root on the hemodynamic environment through numerical simulation.Methods: An idealized model of the aortic root was established based on data obtained from clinical measurements, including using the model of the aortic root without significant lesions as the control group (Model C), while using surgical models of leaflet reimplantation with tubular graft (Model T), leaflet reimplantation with Valsalva graft (Model V), and the Florida sleeve procedure (Model F) as the experimental groups. Fluid-structure interaction numerical simulations were conducted to assess the differences in blood flow between the three surgical techniques.Results: Compared to the control group, all the three experimental groups showed no abnormal blood flow patterns in the aortic root. Additionally, the distribution of high-velocity blood flow was similar to that of the control group. Due to the changes in geometric shape after surgery, the impact locations of blood on the vessel wall varied, leading to different degrees of wall shear stress concentration at the sinus-conduit junction and the aortic valve ring in the three surgical models. During the peak systolic phase, the maximum opening area of the leaflets in the three surgical models (T, V, and F) differs from that of the control model, with the disparity in aortic valve leaflet opening area being 6.42%, 9.17%, and 8.63%, respectively. When comparing the leaflet closure states, it was found that the closure velocity in Model V was close to that of Model C.Conclusions: The changes in the geometry of the aortic sinus affect the hemodynamics within the aorta, and leaflet reimplantation with Valsalva graft and Florida sleeve procedures are more stable during blood flow impacts.
In valve-sparing aortic root replacement procedure, leaflet prolapse can be corrected by shortening the length of the free margin. But precisely determining the extent of the reduction remains a problem. This study wants to explore the effectiveness of a guiding strategy in treating the free margin of the leaflet in a modified aortic root remodelling procedure with external sub-valvular ring. Between January 2021 and May 2024, 12 patients with aortic root aneurysms underwent modified aortic root remodelling with an external sub-valvular ring (10 males and two females). Their mean age was 42 ± 14 years. The graft diameter was determined according to the criteria of the Lansac group, based on the aortic annulus diameter. The free margin of the leaflet was treated with central plication based on a standard (target length of the free margin of the leaflet = the diameter of the selected graft + 3 5 mm). The surgery was successfully completed in all 12 patients, with no hospital deaths or complications. Four patients required central plication of the free margin of three leaflets, two required treatment of two leaflets, three required treatment of one leaflet, and three did not require treatment of the free margin of the leaflet. No more than mild degree of residual aortic regurgitation was observed postoperatively. After reconstruction of the aortic root, the measured effective height and coaptation length were 8.9 ± 1.3 mm and 5.3 ± 0.9 mm, respectively. A guiding strategy based on the diameter of the selected graft can be effectively used to manage the length of the free margin of the leaflet in a modified aortic root remodelling procedure with external sub-valvular ring.
To investigate the effects of transcatheter heart valve (THV) poses and bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) subtypes on coronary hemodynamics after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The computational models for BAV included left-right fusion (LR), non-coronary-left fusion (LN) and non-coronary-right fusion (RN). THV deployment height is defined as the distance below the aortic annulus of the lowest point of the stent, H1 = 2 mm, H2 = 5 mm and H3 = 8 mm, Orientations include O1 (one commissure is aligned with the raphe) and O2 (one commissure is aligned with the axis of non-fused leaflet symmetry). The maximum flow velocity (Vmax), mean wall shear stress (mWSS) and coronary perfusion pressure (CPP) of coronary were obtained by computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulation. The CPP was 59% in left coronary and 82% in right coronary higher than that before deployment. At O1, the CPP of the LN left coronary and the RN right coronary was 74% and 79% higher than that before deployment. At O2, the CPP of the LN right coronary and the RN left coronary was 83% and 82% higher than that before deployment. When the THV deployment height is less than 2 mm, Vmax and CPP of coronary arteries do not return to healthy TAV levels or changed weakly. The overlap of the THV commissure with the coronary ostium makes the coronary CPP so large that it exceeds the level of a healthy TAV.
Leaflet durability and costs restrict contemporary trans-catheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) largely to elderly patients in affluent countries. TAVR that are easily deployable, avoid secondary procedures and are also suitable for younger patients and non-calcific aortic regurgitation (AR) would significantly expand their global reach. Recognizing the reduced need for post-implantation pacemakers in balloon-expandable (BE) TAVR and the recent advances with potentially superior leaflet materials, a trans-catheter BE-system was developed that allows tactile, non-occlusive deployment without rapid pacing, direct attachment of both bioprosthetic and polymer leaflets onto a shape-stabilized scallop and anchorage achieved by plastic deformation even in the absence of calcification. Three sizes were developed from nickel-cobalt-chromium MP35N alloy tubes: Small/23 mm, Medium/26 mm and Large/29 mm. Crimp-diameters of valves with both bioprosthetic (sandwich-crosslinked decellularized pericardium) and polymer leaflets (triblock polyurethane combining siloxane and carbonate segments) match those of modern clinically used BE TAVR. Balloon expansion favors the wing-structures of the stent thereby creating supra-annular anchors whose diameter exceeds the outer diameter at the waist level by a quarter. In the pulse duplicator, polymer and bioprosthetic TAVR showed equivalent fluid dynamics with excellent EOA, pressure gradients and regurgitation volumes. Post-deployment fatigue resistance surpassed ISO requirements. The radial force of the helical deployment balloon at different filling pressures resulted in a fully developed anchorage profile of the valves from two thirds of their maximum deployment diameter onwards. By combining a unique balloon-expandable TAVR system that also caters for non-calcific AR with polymer leaflets, a powerful, potentially disruptive technology for heart valve disease has been incorporated into a TAVR that addresses global needs. While fulfilling key prerequisites for expanding the scope of TAVR to the vast number of patients of low- to middle income countries living with rheumatic heart disease the system may eventually also bring hope to patients of high-income countries presently excluded from TAVR for being too young.

Aims: We describe a new aortic arch dissection (AcD) classification, which we have called the Fuwai classification. We then compare the clinical characteristics and long-term prognoses of different classifications. Methods: All AcD patients who underwent surgical procedures at Fuwai Hospital from 2010 to 2015 were included in the study. AcD procedures are divided into three types: Fuwai type Cp, Ct, and Cd. Type Cp is defined as the innominate artery or combined with the left carotid artery involved. Type Cd is defined as the left subclavian artery or combined with the left carotid artery involved. All other AcD surgeries are defined as type Ct. The Chi-square test was adopted for the pairwise comparison among the three types. Kaplan-Meier was used for the analysis of long-term survival and survival free of reoperation. Results: In total, 1,063 AcD patients were enrolled from 2010 to 2015: 54 patients were type Cp, 832 were type Ct, and 177 were type Cd. The highest operation proportion of Cp, Ct and Cd were partial arch replacement, total arch replacement, and TEVAR. The surgical mortality in type Ct was higher compared to type Cd (Ct vs. Cd = 9.38 vs. 1.69%, p < 0.01) and type Cp (Ct vs. Cp = 9.38 vs. 1.85%, p = 0.06). There was no difference in surgical mortality of type Cp and Cd (p = 0.93). There were no significant differences in the long-term survival rates (p = 0.38) and free of aorta-related re-operations (p = 0.19). Conclusion: The Fuwai classification is used to distinguish different AcDs. Different AcDs have different surgical mortality and use different operation methods, but they have similar long-term results.

Objective:To explore the clinical application of Fuwai aortic dissection classification, including comparing the difference between the diverse types, and its meaning of aortic surgery selection.Methods:Retrospectively collected 1 570 aortic dissection surgery patients from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2015 in Fuwai Hospital. Fuwai classification includes four types. Type A restricted to the ascending aorta. Type B refers to the descending aorta dissection below the left subclavian artery. Type C refers to dissection involve the aortic arch. Type D refers to the dissection restricted to the abdominal aorta below the diaphragm. The subtype of the type C include type Cp, type Ct and type Cd. Type Cp refers to the proximal aortic arch is involved (at least the left subclavian artery was not implicated). Type Ct refers to total aortic arch is involved. Type Cd refers to the distal aortic arch is involved (at least the innominate artery was not implicated). We compared the differences among the four types (A/B/C/D) and three subtypes (Cp/Ct/Cd) aortic dissection in preoperative, intro and postoperative characteristics.Results:There were 78 cases (4.96%) Fuwai type A, 421 cases (26.82%) Fuwai type B, 1063 cases (67.71%) Fuwai type C, and 8 cases (0.51%) Fuwai type D. The operative mortality was 5.41%. The average age of the patients in type D was the oldest, which was (58.02 ± 11.93) years. The preoperative renal insufficiency in type C was the highest, (14.96%). Type A had the largest aortic sinus diameter (45.92 ± 12.88 mm). Type C had the highest mortality(7.71%), followed by 0.71% of type B, and no surgical deaths occurred in type A and type D. Among type C patients, 54 patients were type Cp, 832 patients were type Ct, 177 patients were type Cd. Surgery mortality between type Ct and type Cd was significant difference (9.38% vs. 1.69%, P<0.01). Type Ct had higher surgery mortality than type Cp, there was no difference (9.38% vs. 1.85%, P=0.06). Type Cp and type Cd had no significant statistical difference in surgical mortality (1.85% vs. 1.69%, P=0.94). Simply ascending aorta replacement accounted for 64.1% in type A , TEVAR accounted for 81.53% in type B , partial arch replacement accounted for 62.96% in type Cp, total aortic arch replacement accounted for 98.56% in type Ct, debranch+ TEVAR/TEVAR accounted for 70.62% in type Cd, EVAR accounted for 100% in type D. Conclusion:The Fuwai classification is more comprehensive and practical for clinical application than the traditional classification. Different classification had different clinical characteristics and prognosis. The classification was helpful for surgical methods selection.

Background. This study evaluated the short- and middle-term outcomes of different aortic root managements in the setting of acute type A aortic dissection (ATAAD): aortic root repair (ARR group), untouched aortic root (UAR group), and Bentall procedure (Bentall group). Methods. The study enrolled 673 patients (512 men; age 48.8 +/- 11.2 years) between 2010 and 2015. Survival, aortic growth, reintervention, and valve function were compared between the 3 groups. Results. The ages were 50.6 +/- 9.9, 49.8 +/- 12.2, and 44.0 +/- 12.0 years for ARR, UAR, and Bentall groups, respectively (P <.01). The mean follow-up time was 3.0 years (range, 0.5-6.8 years). The aortic root diameters in the groups were 39.0 +/- 5.1 mm in ARR, 38.2 +/- 4.4 mm in UAR, and 50.3 +/- 6.2 mm in Bentall (P <.01). The overall 30-day mortality was 11.7% (79 of 673). There was no difference in 30-day mortality between the 3 groups (P = .58). The estimated aortic root growth rate was 0.60 +/- 0.17 mm/y for ARR and 0.50 +/- 0.14 mm/y for UAR. During follow-up, 28 patients (4.1%) died. Differences in 5-year survival between the 3 groups did not reach statistical significance (P = .82). Aortic insufficiency greater than grade 2D developed in 15 patients (2.2%). There was no significant difference between ARR and UAR in freedom from aortic insufficiency greater than grade 2D(P= .56). None of the patients experienced new dissection or underwent proximal reoperation during the follow-up period. Conclusions. Conservative techniques (ARR and UAR) and aggressive root replacement can both be performed with excellent short- and middle-term outcomes in ATAAD. Thus, an individualized approach in managing the aortic root for ATAAD is recommended based on the patient's general condition, root pathology, and the surgeon's preference.
