Aortic valve replacement is indicated in the following situations:

If there are no contraindications to anticoagulants, mechanical prostheses are preferred in patients < 65 years of age. If the patient > 65 years or has any contraindications to anticoagulants; then bioprosetheses are preferred (biologic valve).

Overview

Aortic stenosis requires aortic valve replacement if medical management does not successfully control symptoms. According to a prospective, single-center, nonrandomized study of 25 patients, percutaneous implantation of an aortic valve prosthesis in high risk patients with aortic stenosis results in marked hemodynamic and clinical improvement when successfully completed [1].

Indications

Aortic valve replacement is indicated in the following situations:

  • Severe oartic stenosis (valve area < 1.0 cm2) if the patient has symptoms, left ventricular dysfunction (ejection fraction < 50%) or undergoing coronary bypass grafting.*Usually performed in patients with moderate AS with symptoms to improve symptoms and prolong life expectancy, or if the patient undergoing coronary bypass grafting or aortic root reconstruction surgery.


If there are no contraindications to anticoagulants, mechanical prostheses are preferred in patients < 65 years of age. If the patient > 65 years or has any contraindications to anticoagulants; then bioprosetheses are preferred (biologic valve).

Age is not a contraindication to aortic valve replacement in aortic stenosis.

ACC/AHA Guidelines- Indications for Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR) for Aortic Stenosis (DO NOT EDIT) [2]

Class I

1. AVR is indicated for symptomatic patients with severe AS. (Level of Evidence: B)

2. AVR is indicated for patients with severe AS undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG). (Level of Evidence: C)

3. AVR is indicated for patients with severe AS undergoing surgery on the aorta or other heart valves. (Level of Evidence: C)

4. AVR is recommended for patients with severe AS* and LV systolic dysfunction (ejection fraction less than 0.50). (Level of Evidence: C)

Class IIa

1. AVR is reasonable for patients with moderate AS undergoing CABG or surgery on the aorta or other heart valves (see Section 3.7 on combined multiple valve disease and Section 10.4 on AVR in patients undergoing CABG). (Level of Evidence: B)

Class IIb

1. AVR may be considered for asymptomatic patients with severe AS and abnormal response to exercise (e.g., development of symptoms or asymptomatic hypotension). (Level of Evidence: C)

2. AVR may be considered for adults with severe asymptomatic AS if there is a high likelihood of rapid progression (age, calcification, and CAD) or if surgery might be delayed at the time of symptom onset. (Level of Evidence: C)

3. AVR may be considered in patients undergoing CABG who have mild AS when there is evidence, such as moderate to severe valve calcification, that progression may be rapid. (Level of Evidence: C)

4. AVR may be considered for asymptomatic patients with extremely severe AS (aortic valve area less than 0.6 cm2, mean gradient greater than 60 mm Hg, and jet velocity greater than 5.0 m per second) when the patient’s expected operative mortality is 1.0% or less. (Level of Evidence: C)

Class III

1. AVR is not useful for the prevention of sudden death in asymptomatic patients with AS who have none of the findings listed under the Class IIa/IIb recommendations. (Level of Evidence: B)
