Abstract

Current data evaluating outcomes of valve replacement surgery in patients with overweight/obesity is contradictory. There is a scarce study comparing outcomes of valve surgery considering the type of valve involved in the procedure. We followed outcomes in patients with overweight and obesity after valve replacement surgery with or without coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) and also patients with aortic valve replacement (AVR) and mitral valve replacement (MVR), separately to compare their mid-term prognosis in each group. Consecutive patients who had undergone cardiac valve surgery with or without CABG in Tehran Heart Center were enrolled. We enrolled 3158 patients. Median survival was 125.71 ± 82.20 weeks in patients with overweight/obesity. We found a significantly higher LVDd, LVDs and RVDd in patients with CABG (51.85 ± 7.31, 36.80 ± 8.81 and 30.04 ± 3.58, respectively) compared to the valve group (50.10 ± 6.35 mm, 35.08 ± 7.29 mm and 29.76 ± 4.07 mm, respectively). All-cause mortality is significantly higher in patients with AVR (5.7%) than those with MVR (3.3%). Patients with CABG are at higher risk of myocardial infarction (MI) compared to the ones without CABG (0.8% vs. 0.1%). No significant interaction was observed between the type of valve surgery (AVR/MVR) or valve surgery combinations (valve/valve + CABG) (p-values =.81 vs.97, respectively). Post-operative outcomes in patients with overweight/obesity depend on several factors such as type of valve involved and presence of CABG. Risk management can lower the rate of mortality and morbidity in these patients. © 2024 World Obesity Federation. Published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd.
