Abstract
Aortic valve replacement (AVR) potentially can modify pulse-wave propagation to the distal aorta. Echo-derived global circumferential strain (GCS) was used to test whether AVR for aortic stenosis (AS) or aortic insufficiency (AI) resulted in differential aortic biomechanics in the descending thoracic aorta. This was a prospective observational study of patients who underwent cardiac surgery between 2016 and 2019. Weill Cornell Medicine, a single large academic medical center. The population comprised 48 patients undergoing AVR (62 ± 15 y/o, 79% male; 22 with AI and 26 with AS) and 11 patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery as controls. Elective cardiac surgery, transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), pulmonary artery catheter. Pre- and postprocedural TEEs were collected. Descending aorta short-axis images were analyzed for GCS, time-to-peak strain, aortic end-diastolic, end-systolic area, and fractional area changes. Pulse pressure (PP) and stroke volume were quantified. Preprocedural GCS significantly differed between patients with AI and AS, with AI patients having greater GCS (median/interquartile range, 9.6 95.3,13.6) than patients with AS (4.3 [3.4-5.1]). After AVR, in AI patients, strain significantly decreased (5.5 [...Continue Reading
