| ==Surgical Management of Chronic Aortic Insufficiency==
| |
| Surgical treatment is controversial in asymptomatic patients. Surgery may be recommended if the [[ejection fraction]] falls below 50% or in the face of progressive and severe left ventricular dilatation. For both groups of patients, surgery before the development of worse aortic insufficiency [[ejection fracture]]/LV systolic dilatation, is expected to reduce the risk of [[sudden death]], and is associated with lower peri-operative mortality.

| Majority of patients with severe aortic regurgitation requiring surgery undergo [[aortic valve replacement]] against [[aortic valve repair]] which are preformed at few surgical centers which have appropriate technical expertise and experience in selecting potential patients.

| | |
| ===Indications for [[Aortic valve replacement]]/Repair(AVR) in Chronic [[Aortic Insufficiency]] as per 2006 ACC/AHA Guidelines===
| |
| {{cquote|'''Class I'''
| |
| | |
| #AVR is indicated for symptomatic patients with severe aortic insufficiency irrespective of left ventricular systolic function.
| |
| #AVR is indicated for asymptomatic patients with chronic severe aortic insufficiency and [[left ventricular systolic dysfunction]] ([[ejection fraction]] 0.50 or less) at rest.
| |
| #AVR is indicated for patients with chronic severe aortic insufficiency while undergoing [[coronary artery bypass graft]](CABG) or surgery on the aorta or other heart valves.
| |
| | |
| '''Class IIa'''
| |
| | |
| AVR is reasonable for asymptomatic patients with severe aortic insufficiency with normal left ventricular systolic function ([[ejection fraction]] greater than 0.50) but with severe left ventricular dilatation (end-diastolic dimension greater than 75 mm or end-systolic dimension greater than 55 mm).
| |
| | |
| '''Class IIb'''
| |
| | |
| #AVR may be considered in patients with moderate aortic insufficiency while undergoing surgery on the ascending aorta.
| |
| #AVR may be considered in patients with moderate aortic insufficiency while undergoing [[CABG]].
| |
| #AVR may be considered for asymptomatic patients with severe aortic insufficiency and normal left ventricular systolic function at rest ([[ejection fraction]] greater than 0.50) when the degree of left ventricular dilatation exceeds an end-diastolic dimension of 70mm or end-systolic dimension of 50 mm, when there is evidence of progressive left ventricular dilatation, declining exercise tolerance, or abnormal hemodynamic responses to exercise.
| |
| | |
| '''Class III'''
| |
| | |
| AVR is not indicated for asymptomatic patients with mild, moderate, or severe aortic insufficiency and normal left ventricular systolic function at rest ([[ejection fraction]] greater than 0.50) when the degree of dilatation is not moderate or severe (end-diastolic dimension less than 70 mm, end-systolic dimension less than 50 mm).}}

| Surgical corrections of regurgitant aortic valve have shown to improve symptoms in symptomatic patients with severe aortic insufficiency. In some studies, the left ventricular function ([[ejection fraction]]) also was seen to improve with AVR<ref name="pmid3156010">{{cite journal |author=Daniel WG, Hood WP, Siart A, Hausmann D, Nellessen U, Oelert H, Lichtlen PR |title=Chronic aortic regurgitation: reassessment of the prognostic value of preoperative left ventricular end-systolic dimension and fractional shortening |journal=[[Circulation]] |volume=71 |issue=4 |pages=669–80 |year=1985 |month=April |pmid=3156010 |doi= |url=http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=3156010 |accessdate=2011-03-27}}</ref> <ref name="pmid3668112">{{cite journal |author=Carabello BA, Usher BW, Hendrix GH, Assey ME, Crawford FA, Leman RB |title=Predictors of outcome for aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic regurgitation and left ventricular dysfunction: a change in the measuring stick |journal=[[Journal of the American College of Cardiology]] |volume=10 |issue=5 |pages=991–7 |year=1987 |month=November |pmid=3668112 |doi= |url= |accessdate=2011-03-27}}</ref>.

| | |
| Aortic valve replacement/repair is not recommended in a truly asymptomatic patient with normal left ventricular function (left ventricular [[ejection fraction]] ≥50%) without severe left ventricular dilatation because this would expose the patient to perioperative mortality risk of 4% against less than 0.2% mortality risk without surgery and other long-term complications of a [[prosthetic heart valve]]<ref name="pmid15998697">{{cite journal |author=Bekeredjian R, Grayburn PA |title=Valvular heart disease: aortic regurgitation |journal=[[Circulation]] |volume=112 |issue=1 |pages=125–34 |year=2005 |month=July |pmid=15998697 |doi=10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.104.488825 |url=http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=15998697 |accessdate=2011-03-28}}</ref>.In such patients 2006 AHA/ACC guidelines <ref name="pmid18820172">{{cite journal |author=Bonow RO, Carabello BA, Chatterjee K, de Leon AC, Faxon DP, Freed MD, Gaasch WH, Lytle BW, Nishimura RA, O'Gara PT, O'Rourke RA, Otto CM, Shah PM, Shanewise JS |title=2008 Focused update incorporated into the ACC/AHA 2006 guidelines for the management of patients with valvular heart disease: a report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Task Force on Practice Guidelines (Writing Committee to Revise the 1998 Guidelines for the Management of Patients With Valvular Heart Disease): endorsed by the Society of Cardiovascular Anesthesiologists, Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions, and Society of Thoracic Surgeons |journal=[[Circulation]] |volume=118 |issue=15 |pages=e523–661 |year=2008 |month=October |pmid=18820172 |doi=10.1161/CIRCULATIONAHA.108.190748 |url=http://circ.ahajournals.org/cgi/pmidlookup?view=long&pmid=18820172 |accessdate=2011-03-28}}</ref>recommends:

| *Patients with mild chronic [[aortic insufficiency]] with normal left ventricular [[ejection fraction]] should undergo clinical evaluation yearly and [[echocardiography]] every two to three years.
| |
| *Patients with severe chronic [[aortic insufficiency]] with normal left ventricular ejection fraction should be followed up based on ventricular dimensions:
| |
| #Patients with end-systolic ventricular dimension '''<45 mm''' and end-diastolic ventricular dimension '''<60 mm''' should undergo clinical evaluation every 6-12months and [[echocardiography]] every 12months.
