In 13, a total of 1757 procedures were done. The majority (N = 159) were valve replacements. Surgeons performed a total of 11 valve-sparing and 17 valve repair procedures. Combined Aortic Valve Replacement Mortality 13 Primary Reoperation STS expected Aortic valve replacement, in combination with other surgical procedures, is a complex operation. Despite this complexity and the associated increase in risks, mortality rates for both primary and reoperations were low.

5 Valve Disease (continued) Mitral Valve Surgery Repair vs Replacement Repair Replacement performs mitral valve repair procedures rather than replacement whenever possible. Mitral valve repair is associated with better survival, improved lifestyle, better preservation of heart function, and a lower risk of stroke and infection (endocarditis) compared with mitral valve replacement. Repair procedures also do not require postprocedure anticoagulation therapy. Isolated Mitral Valve Surgery Hospital Mortality 13 STS expected Replace % Repair In 13, the mortality rates for patients who had isolated mitral valve surgery were lower at than the expected rates for both repair and replacement procedures.

6 Surgical Treatment of Infective Endocarditis Bacterial (infective) endocarditis is a life-threatening infection of the heart valves or the heart s inner lining (endocardium). The condition causes growths on or holes in the valves or scarring of the valve tissue, most often resulting in a leaky heart valve. surgeons treat patients with infective endocarditis, including those with advanced disease and prosthetic valve endocarditis. and Hospital Mortality Primary Reoperation In 13, surgeons performed 13 valve procedures to treat patients with infective endocarditis. A total of 7 were primary operations (in-hospital mortality rate, %) and were reoperations (in-hospital mortality rate, 8.3%).

The technique is currently approved for use in certain patients, and further research is being conducted to assess use in other patient populations. Source: Mack MJ, Brennan J, Brindis R, et al. Outcomes Following Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement in the United States. JAMA. 13;31(19):9-77. doi:1.11/jama PARTNER II Trial is currently recruiting patients for the second arm of the Placement of Aortic Transcatheter Valves (PARTNER II) trial. This phase involves a randomized study of patients who have a moderately high risk associated with traditional surgery to treat severe aortic stenosis. Researchers are studying the use of percutaneous aortic valve replacement in this patient population. The procedure is done through the transfemoral or left subclavian artery or via a transapical approach. Research also includes an approach through the ascending aorta via a mini-j incision.

In 13, doctors used the transfemoral approach in 113 procedures (in-hospital mortality,.7%). The transapical approach was used in 5 procedures (in-hospital mortality, %). Other approaches are being researched. Transfemoral Aortic Valve Replacement and 3-Day Mortality Mortality (%) was one of the first hospitals to perform the TAVR procedure. The femoral approach has been consistently associated with low mortality. TAVR is used to treat some of the most critically ill patients with aortic valve disease. 3 Outcomes 13
