Case 1167 Congenitally Bicuspid Stenotic
Aortic Valves in Octogenarians
Stuart R. Lander, MD; Jeff E. Taylor, MD; William C. Roberts, MD
An 84-year-old white woman was apparently asymptomatic until about 2 months
before aortic valve replacement when she went to her physician because of developing
exertional dyspnea and chest tightness. Atransthoracic echocardiogram showed a
normally contracting left ventricle, a normal sized left ventricular cavity, and an
estimated aortic valve area of 0.6cm
was discussed with the patient but she declined operative intervention.
She was then in her usual state until nearly 2 months later when the dyspnea and
chest tightness worsened and she came to the hospital’s emergency room. Precordial
examination disclosed a grade 3/6 systolic ejection type murmur heard best along
the left sternal border with radiation into the neck. No diastolic murmur was heard.
Electrocardiogram disclosed sinus rhythm, nonspecic ST, T wave changes, and total
12 lead QRS voltage of 184mm (10mm= 1mV) (normal <175mm).
disclosed bilateral pleural effusions and mild cardiomegaly; no calcium was seen
in either the mitral valve region or in the aortic valve cusps. Cardiac catheterization
disclosed the following pressures: left ventricle 173/19mm Hg; aorta 122/54mm
Hg, yielding a peak systolic pressure gradient of 51; pulmonary artery, 33/14mm
Hg (mean 20), and pulmonary artery wedge mean 12. The aortic valve area was
calculated to be 0.51cm
2
and the valve area index, 0.3cm2/body surface area. The
patient weighed 145 lbs (68 kg) and was 63 inches tall (160cm). Coronary angiogram
disclosed a dominant right coronary system. The distal left anterior descending
coronary artery was narrowed up to 70% in diameter, the left circumex up to 30%,
and the right coronary artery <20%. The left main was normal.
On January 12, 1999, the aortic valve was excised and replaced with a Baxter
parietal pericardial 21mm bioprosthesis. Coronary bypass also was performed. The
operatively excised valve was congenitally bicuspid (Figure 1). Early postoperatively
the patient was transiently confused, developed atrial brillation, and had mild
levation in b
e
lood urea nitrogen. She went home the eleventh postoperative day.
By that time she was again in sinus rhythm, mentally alert, and had normal renal
function. Eight months after operation she was asymptomatic, and cared for herself
living alone.
The above case indicates that a congenitally bicuspid aortic valve can be seen
in octogenarians and that a stenotic one can be successfully replaced. The oldest
reported patient having aortic valve replacement for congenitally stenotic aortic
valve was a 92-year-old man.

patients >20 years of age, 28 (5.3%) were octogenarians. At Baylor University

Only one major coronary artery in the above described patient was narrowed
>50% in diameter. As a rule, the cleaner the coronary arteries in older individuals
the greater the chance that a stenotic aortic valve will be congenitally bicuspid.
Recent reports of octogenarians undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement
with or without coronary artery bypass are reviewed in the Table.

that their functional status had improved and 97% stated that the operation was

Finally, as the population continues to age the frequency of aortic valve stenosis
will almost certainly increase. Congenital heart disease is not limited to the younger
population but indeed may occur in the elderly.

Case 1306 Severe Late (16Years) Dysfunction
of aBioprosthesis in the Mitral Valve Position
Without Dysfunction of aBioprosthesis
in the Aortic Valve Position
Paul A. Grayburn, MD, Baron L. Hamman, MD, and William C. Roberts, MD
A man who was born in 1939 underwent replacement of both mitral and aortic
valves with porcine bioprostheses in 1987 (age 48). Thereafter, he was asymptomatic
until 2003 (age 64), when he developed signs and symptoms of heart failure. Cardiac
catheterization in late 2003 disclosed the following pressures in mm Hg: pulmonary
artery, 70/31; right ventricle, 70/18; right atrial mean, 9; pulmonary artery wedge
mean, 30, with v waves averaging 54; left ventricle, 108/25; and aorta, 104/65. Left
ventricular angiography disclosed a normal-sized left ventricular cavity and severe
mitral regurgitation. Aortic root angiogram disclosed trace aortic regurgitation. The
preoperative echocardiogram and the operatively excised (late 2003) bioprosthesis,
which had been in the mitral valve position, are shown in the Figure. Coronary
angiography preoperatively showed insignicant coronary arterial narrowing.

This case demonstrates that when bioprostheses are placed in both mitral and
aortic valve positions during the same operation, the bioprosthesis in the mitral valve
tends to degenerate more rapidly than a similar bioprosthesis in the aortic valve.
The likely reason is that the closing pressure exerted on the mitral bioprosthesis is
the left ventricular systolic pressure, whereas the closing pressure exerted on the
aortic prosthesis is the aorta’s diastolic pressure, which in general is about a third
lower than the left ventricular peak systolic pressure. In the present patient, the
left ventricular peak systolic pressure was 108mm Hg and the aorta’s end-diastolic
pressure was 65mm Hg, a 40% difference.

Case 1335 Severe Regurgitation Immediately
After Replacement of a Dysfunctional
Bioprosthesis in the Mitral Valve Position
Hassan Farooq, MD, Paul Grayburn, MD, and William Clifford Roberts, MD
Severe regurgitation immediately after replacement of a cardiac valve with a
mechanical prosthesis or a bioprosthesis is a rare occurrence. Such, however,
was the case in the patient described. ©2005 by Excerpta Medica Inc.
(Am J Cardiol 2005;95:703–704)
A 74-year-old woman, who was born in September1929, had her purely regurgitant
mitral valve replaced with a bioprosthesis in 1986, when she was 57 years old.
Thereafter, she was asymptomatic until age 74, when exertional dyspnea appeared.
Four months later, she entered the hospital. She was 57 inches tall and weighed
115 pounds (body mass index 25 kg/m
heard over the cardiac apex, and it radiated into the left axilla. An echocardiogram
disclosed a normal-sized left ventricle, a dilated right ventricle, and severe
bioprosthetic regurgitation. At cardiac catheterization, the pressures in mm Hg
were as follows: pulmonary artery wedge “a” wave, 33, V wave, 43, and mean, 28;
right ventricle, 58/23, simultaneous left ventricle, 166/26, and aorta 162/ 92. Left
ventricular angiography disclosed severe (4+/4+) bioprosthetic regurgitation.

Reoperation on April 14, 2004, disclosed that 1 of the 3 bioprosthetic cusps had
prolapsed severely toward the left atrium, despite the absence of calcium in any
of the bioprosthetic cusps. The dysfunctional bioprosthesis in the mitral position
was replaced with another bioprosthesis (Carpentier-Edwards, 25mm, Edwards
Lifesciences, Irvine, California). At operation, the left atrium was opened by an
incision parallel to the atrial septum just anterior to right superior pulmonary
vein. After the excision of the initially inserted bioprosthesis and the insertion of
the newer bioprosthesis, the patient apparently came off cardiopulmonary bypass,
which lasted 68 minutes, without difculty.
When entering the intensive care unit, the patient’s blood pressure was
100/60mm Hg, and her heart rate was 92 beats/min. Her extremities were cool, and
the pedal pulses were barely palpable. Pulmonary artery pressure was 36/18mm
Hg. Later that day, the patient’s blood pressure decreased to 60/30mm Hg, and atrial
brillation appeared. Sinus rhythm was restored by cardioversion (50 J) but without
improvement in hemodynam ics. On postoperative day 4, the patient again reverted to
atrial brillation, but with amiodarone sinus rhythm returned. By day 8, she was still
intubated, sinus tachycardia (110 beats/min) persisted, her respirations were rapid
(25 breaths/min), and vasopressors were required to maintain adequate systemic

arterial pressures. Arepeat echocardiogram (Figure1) showed severe bioprosthetic
regurgitation, and a third cardiac operation was performed on postoperative day 9
(April23, 2004). The left atrium was opened through the previous incision, and the
bioprosthesis in the mitral position was excised. The orice of the bioprosthesis was
found to be in a xed open position because of a single suture that had encircled 1
of the 3 stents, resulting in the tethering down of 2 cusps (Figure1). After excision
of the tethered bioprosthesis and replacement with another bioprosthesis, the
patient came off cardiopulmonary bypass easily, and her postoperative course was
relatively uneventful. She left the hospital on May14, 2004.

In the early days of cardiac valve replacement, certain technical complications
occurred fairly commonly simply because the procedure was new, and good
techniques had to be developed. In recent years technical complications of cardiac
valve replacement have been infrequent. The complication described in the
present patient, namely, the tethering down of 2 bioprosthetic cusps by a suture
tied down inadvertently on 1 bioprosthetic stent located on the ventricular aspect
of the bioprosthesis, was originally described and reported in 1983.

The present
case indicates that even 21years later, this complication has not yet been completely
eliminated. It is still a good idea before closing the left atrium after mitral

Association with a Stenotic Congenitally Bicuspid
Aortic Valve and Severe Coronary Artery Disease
Kevin P. Theleman, MD,

Calcic deposits in the epicardial arteries, mitral valve annulus, and aortic valve
cusps are common in older persons in the Western world.

Recently, we encountered
1,2, 3
a patient with massive mitral annular calcium causing mitral stenosis in association
with a stenotic congenitally bicuspid aortic valve and heavy coronary calcic
deposits. The extent of the cardiac calcic deposits is unusual and prompted this
report.
A 73-year-old man had an orthotopic liver transplant for alcoholic cirrhosis
at age 60, a renal transplant at age 65, a dual-chamber pacemaker inserted for
sick sinus syndrome at age 72, and had corticosteroid-induced diabetes mellitus
and systemic hypertension. The present examination was prompted by the recent
onset of pedal edema. A grade 2/6 systolic ejection murmur that was loudest
over the right base of the precordium was present. His body mass index was
22 kg/m

. Echocardiography disclosed a 6-mm Hg mean diastolic gradient at
the mitral orice and a left ventricular ejection fraction of about 55% (Figure1).
Cardiac catheterization revealed a peak systolic pressure gradient between the left
ventricle and aorta of 50mm Hg (mean gradient, 38mm Hg) and an aortic valve
area of 0.6cm
2
. The left anterior descending artery was narrowed up to 70% in
diameter proximally, the second diagonal artery up to 80% proximally, and the
ramus intermedius artery up to 80% proximally. The left main coronary artery
was widely patent. The dominant left circumex artery was narrowed up to 50%
in diameter and was heavily calcied. The nondominant right coronary artery was
free of narrowing.
The aortic valve was replaced with a 21-mm Medtronic Mosaic (Medtronic,
Inc., Mineapolis, MN) bioprosthesis. The surgically removed aortic valve was
congenitally bicuspid (Figure2). Aortosaphenous vein grafts were placed to the left
anterior descending and the rst marginal coronary arteries. An intra-aortic balloon
pump was placed intraoperatively. Aortic cross-clamp time was 149 minutes. The
postoperative course was complicated by the low cardiac output syndrome, and
death occurred 5 days postoperatively.
