Objective: To describe the perioperative characteristics of patients undergoing aortic valve replacement; as well as complications, mortality, follow-up and survival. Materials and methods: A retrospective study of patients operated between 2016 and 2019 was carried out. Pre, intra, and postoperative characteristics were determined, as well as clinical and echocardiographic follow-up. Student's t test was used to compare means. Overall survival and cardiovascular event-free survival were analyzed using the Kaplan-Meier method. Results:110 patients were included (59.1% male), the mean age was 65.2 ± 11.3 years, the majority with arterial hypertension (47.3%). The most frequent etiology was degenerative (47.3%). A mechanical prosthesis was implanted in 59.1%. In the postoperative period, a median mechanical ventilation time of 8 hours was observed, with an average stay in the ICU of 5.8 Â...

Objetivo: Describir las características perioperatorias de los pacientes sometidos a reemplazo valvular aórtico; así como complicaciones, mortalidad, seguimiento y supervivencia. Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio retrospectivo de pacientes operados entre 2016 y 2019. Se determinaron las características pre, intra y postoperatorias, así como el seguimiento clínico y ecocardiográfico. Para la comparación de medias se utilizó la prueba de la t de Student. La supervivencia global y la supervivencia libre de eventos cardiovasculares se analizaron mediante el método de Kaplan-Meier. Resultados: Se incluyeron 110 pacientes (59,1% varones), la edad media fue de 65,2 ± 11,3 años, la mayoría con hipertensión arterial (47,3%). La etiología más frecuente fue la degenerativa (47,3%). Se implantó prótesis mecánica en el 59,1%. En el postoperatorio se observó una mediana...
