The present metanalysis, aimed to compare short- and long-term outcomes between MV repair (MVRep) and MV replacement (MVR) in patients with IE. A search of PubMed was conducted on 30th August 2024, yielding 120 results. (PROSPERO CRD: CRD42023490612). Four additional suitable studies were identified and added from Embase and Medline (via Ovid). Statistical analyses were performed using RStudio, SPSS, and RevMan. Pseudoindividual patient data were extracted from Kaplan-Meier curves by converting the graphical plots into raw data coordinates through WebPlotDigitizer. A total of 21 studies were eligible for inclusion. The 16-year reconstructed analysis revealed that patients undergoing MVRep have higher survival compared to the MVR group (HR: 1.41, 95% Cl: 1.30-1.53, p < 0.001). Moreover, IE recurrence was significantly lower in MVRep (95% CI, RR:0.46, 12 = 41%, p = 0.03). Reoperation rates, however, were similar between MVRep and MVR (95% CI, RR: 0.78, 12 = 0%, p = 0.27). In-hospital mortality was similar between the groups (95% CI, RR:0.40, 12 = 34%, p = 0.07). In conclusion, MV repair should be favored over replacement in IE when there is no evidence of local extension of the infections and if valve leaflets have not degenerated.

This retrospective observational study included 96 consecutive asymptomatic patients (82 years, 39.6% male) with at least moderate AS (mean pressure gradient (MPG) ≥ 20 mmHg or aortic valve area < 1.5 cm<sup>2</sup>) and preserved left ventricular EF.

Similarly, beneficiaries treated by frequent-ARE surgeons experienced worse early risk-adjusted survival without any late survival benefit: 30-day RMST 29.19(29.11,29.27) versus 29.33(29.25-29.40) days (p = 0.013), 20-year RMST 9.04(8.90,9.18) versus 9.13(9.00,9.27) (p = 0.351). Landmark analysis of 1-year survivors showed no late survival difference (p = 0.456 \"as-treated\" analysis; p = 0.943 \"surgeon-preference\" analysis). Even among frequent-ARE surgeons, SAVR+ARE was associated with higher 30-day and reduced 20-year RMST relative to SAVR alone. In conclusion, ARE was associated with higher early mortality and no long-term survival advantage compared to SAVR alone (even among frequent-ARE surgeons), as was undergoing surgery by a frequent ARE surgeon. Further studies are required to assess the potential utility of ARE in younger patients, those with small annuli, and those at risk for PPM.</p>","PeriodicalId":7705,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Cardiology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-03-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143603571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
