Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The association of anomalous anatomy of coronary arteries and bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) has been sporadically reported. Our aim was to evaluate the prevalence of coronary anomalies between BAV and tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) and to analyse their impact on major adverse cardiac events during and after aortic valve surgery. METHODS: A total of 1099 consecutive patients who received preoperative coronary evaluation and elective aortic valve replacement/repair between January 2013 and July 2016 at our institution were involved. Based on surgical inspection at the open-heart surgery, a total of 345 (32%) patients were diagnosed with BAV, whereas the remaining 754 (68%) patients had TAV. Coronary anatomy was evaluated by preoperative coronary angiography (n = 1084) or multislice computed tomography (n = 15). The primary end-point was the prevalence of coronary anomalies in BAV versus TAV cohort. Secondary end-points included postoperative cardiac ischaemia markers, postoperative coronary artery imaging or interventions and hospital mortality. RESULTS: A total of 46 (4%) coronary anomalies were detected and were significantly more frequent in the BAV group (7% vs 3%, P = 0.001). Postoperative markers of myocardial injury (creatine kinase/creatine kinase-MB and troponin) were increased and the need for postoperative coronary angiography/percutaneous coronary intervention was significantly higher in patients with coronary anomalies (12% vs 1%, P < 0.001). CONCLUSIONS: Our study revealed significantly increased prevalence of coronary anomalies in BAV patients when compared with their tricuspid counterparts. Patients with diagnosed coronary anomalies had more postoperative ischaemic cardiac events that resulted in increased morbidity of this cohort.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
