Determina si existe diferencias entre los resultados de reconstrucción de válvula aórtica por técnica Ozaki y reemplazo de válvula aórtica en el Instituto Nacional Cardiovascular – EsSalud. La patología valvular aórtica es una de las más frecuentes en adultos, y de ellas en la progresión de la historia natural de la enfermedad requerirán manejo quirúrgico, en su gran mayoría. Las opciones quirúrgicas más estandarizadas son el reemplazo valvular aórtico, con prótesis biológica o mecánica; y en algunas situaciones la reconstrucción y/o reparación de la válvula aórtica, siendo estás últimas de más dificil difusión entre los cirujanos cardiovasculares por su difícil estándarización técnica. Recientemente han surgido ténicas de reconstrucción de valvula aórtica de mayor facilidad de estandarización técnica, entre ellas la técnica Ozaki, la que cuenta con...

Objective: The study objective was to evaluate the safety and clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of a new surgical technique in adult patients diagnosed with a giant left atrium. Methods: We analyzed a cohort of patients who underwent left atrium reduction surgery between January 2016 and June 2020 performed by a specialized surgical team in 2 national reference centers in Lima, Peru. We assessed the major adverse valvular-related events and the New York Heart Association functional class as primary clinical outcomes. Also, our primary echocardiographic endings were the diameter, area, and volume of the left atrium. We assessed these variables at 3 time periods: baseline (t0), perioperative period (t1), and extended follow-up (t2: 12 ± 3.4 months). We carried out descriptive and bivariate exploratory statistical analysis for dependent measures. Results: We included 17 patients, 70....
