Clinical and hemodynamic evaluation of 21 mm and 23 mm Cryolife-O'Brien stentless bioprostheses implanted in the aortic position
Heart failure and severe pulmonary hypertension caused by distal detachment of the valve conduit 16 years after the Cabrol composite graft procedure
We report the case of a patient who underwent Cabrol composite graft procedure for ascending aorta aneurysm and aortic regurgitation. Sixteen years later he developed progressive dyspnea and a left-to-right shunt caused by distal detachment of the valve conduit with persistence of the perigraft space-right atrial fistula visualized with echocardiography. Our case shows that late manifestations of surgical complications of the Cabrol procedure may occur and transesophageal echocardiography may allow a comprehensive assessment in these patients. However, because surgical management of ascending aorta aneurysms has changed in the last decades a detailed knowledge of the surgical technique used is mandatory for adequate interpretation of transesophageal echocardiographic result
