Abstract

Few data are available on the outcomes of aortic valve replacement (AVR) in dialysis patients. Valve selection has been controversial, and systemic calcification in these patients has been an important concern. This study reports our experiences and evaluates whether dialysis patients can be treated in a way that is similar to nondialysis patients. A retrospective review was performed on 73 AVRs (43 men, 29 women), including one redo operation, for dialysis patients between 1995 and 2007. Mean age was 65.0 +/- 8.3 years. The bioprosthesis was basically selected for elderly patients as for nondialysis patients. For a severely calcified ascending aorta, the femoral or subclavian artery was selected for arterial cannulation in 9 patients (12.3%), and aortic cross-clamping under temporary circulatory arrest with moderate hypothermia was applied in 17 (23.3%). Implanted were 51 mechanical and 22 bioprosthetic valves. Four elderly patients in poor general condition received high-performance mechanical valves instead of bioprosthesis to avoid aortic root enlargement. There was no stroke during the perioperative period. Hospital mortality was 6.8%. The overall actuarial survival rate was 74.6% +/- 5.6%, 55.7% +/- 7.6%, and 39.9% +/- 9....Continue Reading

Arrhythmia

Arrhythmias are abnormalities in heart rhythms, which can be either too fast or too slow. They can result from abnormalities of the initiation of an impulse or impulse conduction or a combination of both. Here is the latest research on arrhythmias.
