Abstract

BACKGROUND:

The survival of patients who undergo aortic valve replacement (AVR) for severe aortic stenosis with reduced preoperative ejection fractions (EFs) is not well described in the literature.

METHODS AND RESULTS:

Patients undergoing AVR for severe aortic stenosis were analyzed using the Northern New England Cardiovascular Disease Study Group surgical registry. Patients were stratified by preoperative EF (≥50%, 40%-49%, and <40 1992="" 2008.="" 30-day="" 5277="" 6-month="" 727="" 8-year="" 8="" 91="" 96="" a="" across="" adjusted="" admission.="" among="" and="" aortic="" artery="" avr="" benefit="" between="" beyond="" bypass="" cohort.="" compared="" concomitant="" conferred="" coronary="" counterparts.="" crude="" difference="" ef="" effect="" estimated="" for="" grafting.="" grafting="" had="" improved="" in="" index="" isolated="" minimal="" morbidity.="" mortality="" no="" of="" on="" p="" patients="" population="" postoperative="" preoperative="" preserved="" reduced="" severe="" significantly="" stenosis="" strata="" survival="" the="" their="" there="" to="" total="" underwent="" up="" was="" were="" with="" years="">

CONCLUSIONS:

Survival after AVR or AVR+coronary artery bypass grafting was most favorable among patients with preoperative preserved EF. However, patients with mild to moderately depressed EF experienced a substantial survival benefit compared with the natural history of medically treated patients. Furthermore, minor reductions of EF carried equivalent increased risk to those with more compromised function suggesting patients are best served when an AVR is performed before even minor reductions in myocardial function.
