Event Description
|
Additional information was received that reported the reason for replacement as severe aortic insufficiency with presumed aortic valve endocarditis.A computed tomography angiography (cta) performed prior to explant demonstrated an increased ascending aortic aneurysm measuring 4.5cm, which has increased from 4.1cm in 2022.It was also reported that a transesophageal echocardiogram performed prior to explant revealed a rocking bioprosthetic aortic valve suggestive of valve dehiscence.A doppler test revealed elevated gradients demonstrating moderate aortic valve stenosis, a small atrial septal defect (asd), severe aneurysmal dilation of the aortic root and ascending aorta, severe bi-atrial enlargement, a left ventricular ejection fraction (lvef) of 40-45%, grade 2 diastolic dysfunction and a right ventricular systolic pressure at 45mmhg.No additional adverse patient effects were reported.
