OBJECTIVE To review our experience with sutureless aortic valve replacement (AVR) in the setting of concomitant mitral valve (MV) surgery and discuss the technical considerations. METHODS Between January 2012 and March 2013, 10 patients underwent sutureless AVR with the Perceval prosthesis in the setting of concomitant mitral disease. Five patients underwent MV repair, 4 underwent MV replacement, and 1 had a previously implanted mechanical mitral prosthesis. RESULTS The median age was 79 years and 7 patients (70%) were male. Median logistic EuroSCORE II was 6.2%. All valves were successfully implanted with no 30-day mortality. There was no residual aortic paravalvular leak. Two patients had from third-degree atrioventricular block requiring permanent pacemaker implantation. At a mean follow-up of 8±4 months (range, 2-16 months), the overall survival was 80% with 2 non-valve-related deaths and the mean transaortic gradient and aortic valve area had improved to 11.1±4.6 mm Hg and 1.5±0.3 cm2, respectively. There was no evidence of mitral dysfunction in any patient. CONCLUSIONS In our experience, sutureless AVR in the setting of concomitant mitral surgery is a feasible and reproducible procedure. Elderly patients undergoing multiple valve surgery present a higher operative risk, therefore extending the indication for sutureless AVR to patients with concomitant mitral disease could greatly benefit this specific population.
