| Popis: | Methods Between February 2001 and October 2011, a total number of 443 patients with aortic valve stenosis underwent aortic valve replacement. It was isolated in 217 patients (group A), combined with coronary vascularisation in 137 cases (group B) and with other concomitant cardiac procedures in 89 cases (group C). In all groups continuous suture technique was used. The most of coronary anastomosis performed “off pump” and only few of them on a beating heart with the support of the pump. Valves used were metallic in 247 cases, stented in bioprostheses in 188 cases and unstented bioprostheses in 8 cases. Sizes of the valves varied from 19 to 27. The valve had always the size of the annulus except for few cases in which the annulus was greater than 27. |
