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. Atransthoracic echocardiogram showed a normally contracting left ventricle, a normal sized left ventricular cavity, and an estimated aortic valve area of 0.6cm 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, nonspecic ST, T wave changes, and total 12 lead QRS voltage of 184mm (10mm= 1mV) (normal <175mm). 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 173/19mm Hg; aorta 122/54mm Hg, yielding a peak systolic pressure gradient of 51; pulmonary artery, 33/14mm Hg (mean 20), and pulmonary artery wedge mean 12. The aortic valve area was calculated to be 0.51cm
2
and the valve area index, 0.3cm2/body surface area. The patient weighed 145 lbs (68 kg) and was 63 inches tall (160cm). Coronary angiogram disclosed a dominant right coronary system. The distal left anterior descending coronary artery was narrowed up to 70% in diameter, the left circumex 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 21mm 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.

Arecent study from the Mayo Clinic described 527 patients >20 years of age with operative excision of congenitally bicuspid aortic valves including stenotic ones (444 patients), purely regurgitant ones without infection (67 patients), and infected ones (16 patients). Of the 527 patients >20 years of age, 28 (5.3%) were octogenarians. At Baylor University Medical Center since January1993, 397 patients >20years of age have undergone

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. mortality of combined valve replacement and coronary bypass was relatively high. Of the 52 patients reported by Schmidtz et al,

that their functional status had improved and 97% stated that the operation was worthwhile.
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 (16Years) Dysfunction of aBioprosthesis in the Mitral Valve Position Without Dysfunction of aBioprosthesis 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 insignicant 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 108mm Hg and the aorta’s end-diastolic pressure was 65mm Hg, a 40% difference.

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.

A 74-year-old woman, who was born in September1929, 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, 25mm, 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 difculty.
When entering the intensive care unit, the patient’s blood pressure was 100/60mm Hg, and her heart rate was 92 beats/min. Her extremities were cool, and the pedal pulses were barely palpable. Pulmonary artery pressure was 36/18mm Hg. Later that day, the patient’s blood pressure decreased to 60/30mm 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. Arepeat echocardiogram (Figure1) showed severe bioprosthetic regurgitation, and a third cardiac operation was performed on postoperative day 9 (April23, 2004). The left atrium was opened through the previous incision, and the bioprosthesis in the mitral position was excised. The orice 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 (Figure1). 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 May14, 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 21years later, this complication has not yet been completely eliminated. It is still a good idea before closing the left atrium after mitral

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 calcic deposits. The extent of the cardiac calcic 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 orice and a left ventricular ejection fraction of about 55% (Figure1). Cardiac catheterization revealed a peak systolic pressure gradient between the left ventricle and aorta of 50mm Hg (mean gradient, 38mm Hg) and an aortic valve area of 0.6cm
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 circumex artery was narrowed up to 50% in diameter and was heavily calcied. 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 (Figure2). 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.

At necropsy, the coronary arteries and mitral annular region were massively calcied (Figure 3). The ventricular cavities were not dilated (Figure 4). The bioprosthesis in the aortic valve position appeared to have functioned normally. The venous conduits to the left anterior descending and obtuse marginal arteries were patent.
The most prevalent site of cardiac calcic deposits is the epicardial coronary arteries, followed by the mitral annular area and aortic valve cusps.
