{"title":"Impact of Pleural Integrity Preservation After Minimally Invasive Aortic Valve Surgery.","authors":"Beatrice Bacchi, Francesco Cabrucci, Bruno Chiarello, Aleksander Dokollari, Massimo Bonacchi","doi":"10.1177/15569845241237241","DOIUrl":"10.1177/15569845241237241","url":null,"abstract":"<p><strong>Objective: </strong>While the benefits of minimally invasive aortic valve surgery compared with standard sternotomy have been widely described, the impact of preservation of pleural integrity (PPI) in minimally invasive surgery is still widely discussed. This study aims to define the role of PPI on postoperative and long-term outcomes after minimally invasive aortic valve replacement (MIAVR).</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>All 2,430 consecutive patients undergoing MIAVR (ministernotomy or right anterior minithoracotomy) between 1997 and 2022 were included in the study. Patients were divided into 2 groups: patients with and without PPI. PPI was considered the maintenance of the pleura closed without the need for a chest tube insertion at the end of the surgical procedure. A propensity-matched analysis was used to compare the PPI and not-PPI groups.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>After propensity matching, 848 patients were included in each group (PPI and not-PPI). The mean age was 70.21 versus 71.42 years, and the mean Society of Thoracic Surgeons predicted risk of mortality was 0.31% versus 0.30% in not-PPI versus PPI, respectively. The mean follow-up time was 147.4 months. Postoperatively, not-PPI versus PPI patients had a longer intensive care unit stay (9.7 vs 17.3 h, <i>P</i> < 0.001) and hospital length of stay (5.2 vs 8.9 days, <i>P</i> < 0.001). The rate of respiratory complications including the incidence of pneumothorax or subcutaneous emphysema, pulmonary atelectasis, and pleural effusion events requiring thoracentesis/drainage was significantly higher in not-PPI versus PPI. The 30-day all-cause mortality was higher in not-PPI versus PPI (0.029 vs 0.010, <i>P</i> = 0.003). Perioperative, short-term, and long-term all-cause mortality was significantly higher in the not-PPI group.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>PPI after MIAVR is associated with reduced incidence of postoperative complications, reduced lengths of stay, and improved overall survival compared with not-PPI.
