Abstract

Aortic stenosis can cause excessive bleeding by damaging proteins involved in blood clotting, according to a study of 50 patients. In patients with aortic valve stenosis, the aortic valve in the heart is narrower than normal. This damages a large blood clotting protein called von Willebrand factor as it passes through the valve and this in turn causes excessive bleeding. This explains why blood clotting returns to normal in many patients who have the valve replaced with an artificial valve.

The need for autograft reoperation remains the principal limitation of the procedure. Autograft inclusion in a polyester tube prosthesis has been proposed with good postoperative results, but the durability of these technical modifications has not been assessed. We report the midterm results of pulmonary autograft reinforcement with a Valsalva Gelweave Dacron tube (Terumo Cardiovascular Systems Inc, Ann Arbor, Mich).
