Long-term Outcome of Cardiac Surgery in Patients With Mitral Stenosis and Severe Pulmonary Hypertension

Abstract: Patients referred to a tertiary care hospital in the United States with mitral stenosis and severe pulmonary hypertension often have other associated cardiac diseases and comorbid conditions. Cardiac surgery can be successfully performed with an acceptable mortality, and risk factors for poor perioperative outcome can be identified by preoperative clinical characteristics. Younger patients have the best long-term survival, and most survivors experienced long-term improvement in functional status.

“…1,2) Recent studies have confirmed improved outcomes and lower mortality rate (2.3%-10.0%) as a result of better myocardial preservation and improved postoperative care. 11,12,21,22) In our study, the overall mortality rate was 0.0%, and this is counted a great outcome in comparison to the previous works. The myocardial preservation, anesthetic technique and postoperative managements can have considerable impacts on improving the outcome of MVR in patients with severe PAH.…”

“…[12][13][14] Ghoreishi, et al also reported that operative mortality after mitral valve operation for mitral regurgitation was correlated with the degree of preoperative PH. 8) In this study, we focused on the impact of preoperative PH after mitral valve repair for degenerative mitral regurgitation.…”

“…27 Thus, it seems reasonable to provide mechanical relief once more than mild symptoms are present. Furthermore, as shown in Figure 4, when pulmonary hypertension has developed, surgical risk is excessive 28 (12% versus the usual 3% to 8% reported in most studies). Thus, it appears unwise to permit pulmonary hypertension to go uncorrected regardless of symptomatic status.…”
