- Abstract
- Background: Obtaining adequate effective orifice area (EOA) in surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is important to minimize pressure gradients across the prosthetic aortic valve (AV) and improve clinical outcomes. However, the predictors of EOA are unclear. Methods: From July 2011 to March 2016, patients undergoing SAVR who were preoperatively evaluated using a computed tomography (CT) on the aortic rt)ot were enrolled. Indexed EOA (iEOA) was used as an indicator of prosthetic AV opening area. The aortic rc)ot parameters investigated were the annular diameter (max and min), annular perimeter, annular area, and maximal dimensions of the proximal ascending aorta. These variables were evaluated as predictors of EOA, and an individual surgeon was incorporated in analysis for verifying surgeon dependent factors. Results: Among the 710 patients included in this study [age: 64.9 +/- 10.8 years; females: n=285 (40.1%)], 370 (52.1%) were implanted with bio-prosthesis. Mean prosthetic 1E0A was 1.1 +/- 0.3 cm(2)/m(2). Univariable linear regression analysis showed that all indexed aortic root parameters (maximal and minimal annular diameters, annular perimeter, annular area, and sinus dimensions) were significantly associated with iEOA (P<0.001). Multivariable analysis showed that indexed aortic annular area, indexed maximal diameter of the Valsalva sinus, female sex, and bio-prosthesis, supra-annular type prosthesis and surgeon were significant and independent determinants of iEOA (adjusted R-2=0.513, P<0.001). Conclusions: Aortic annular area and Valsalva sinus diameter are independent determinants for iEOA measured by preoperative CT; surgeon-dependent factors are also significant determinants in SAVR.
