Objective To assess early and mid-term outcomes and our clinical experience of reduction ascending aortoplasty (RAA) for patients with aortic valve disease and ascending aortic dilatation, and improve treatment effects. Methods Clinical data of 36 patients with aortic valve disease and ascending aortic dilatation who underwent aortic valve replacement and RAA in Fu Wai Hospital between January 2002 and August 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 26 male and 10 female patients with their age of 7-72 (51±16) years. Ascending aorta diameter (AAD) was measured by echocardiography preoperatively, postoperatively, during follow-up and compared. Results There was no perioperative death. Cardiopulmonary bypass time was 96.2±28.3 minutes, and aortic cross-clamp time was 69.2±22.1 minutes. Posto-perative hospital stay was 11.0±7.8 days. All the 36 patients were followed up after discharge for 1.1-9.0 (4.0±2.3) years. During follow-up, there was 1 death, but none of the patients needed reoperation. Echocardiography showed normal aortic valve function. Postoperative AAD was significantly smaller than preoperative AAD (36.4±6.1 mm vs. 46.8±4.6 mm, t=13.12, P=0.00). AAD during follow-up was significantly larger than postoperative AAD (40.8±6.8 mm vs. 36.4±6.1 mm, t=-2.64, P=0.01) but significantly smaller than preoperative AAD (40.8±6.8 mm vs. 46.8±4.6 mm, t=3.48, P=0.00). Conclusion Early and mid-term outcomes of RAA are satisfactory for patients with aortic valve disease and ascending aortic dilatation, but long-term results need further observation.
