Abstract

Objective: Effects of various conditions on coronary artery dimensions is an important research topic, and data regarding effect of aortic valvular diseases are limited. Aim of the present study was to investigate effects of aortic regurgitation (AR) and aortic stenosis (AS) on coronary artery dimensions.Methods: Coronary dimensions of 95 patients (35 with isolated AR, 30 with isolated AS, and 30 without any valvular disease) were calculated. Patients with severe coronary artery disease and concurrent moderate to severe additional valvular disease were excluded. Mean diameter of major coronary arteries was determined using quantitative coronary angiography.Results: The 3 study groups were similar in terms of baseline characteristics. Diameter of left main coronary artery was found to be greater in AR group than AS group (2.66±0.57 mm/m2 vs 2.36±0.49 mm/m2; p=0.015). Mean diameter of left anterior descending and left circumflex arteries were found to be similar in AR and AS groups, and greater than control group. Mean diameter of right coronary artery was found to be greater in AR group compared with controls; however, no significant difference was found in same measurement between AS group and controls.Conclusion: Present study findings indicate that coronary dimensions in AR group tend to be greater than AS group. Further studies investigating factors that affect coronary dimensions would be beneficial in order to demonstrate mechanisms and differences in AR and AS groups.

Özet

Amaç: Çeşitli durumların koroner arter çapları (KAÇ) üzerine etkisi, önemli bir araştırma konusudur ve aort kapak hastalıklarının etkisi ile ilgili veriler kısıtlıdır. Bu çalışmada, aort yetersizliğinin (AY) ve aort darlığının (AD) KAÇ üzerine etkisini incelemeyi amaçladık.Yöntemler: Toplam 95 hastanın (sadece AY'si olan 35, sadece AD'si bulunan 30 ve kapak hastalığı olmayan 30 kontrol hastası) koroner arter çapları hesaplandı. Ciddi koroner arter hastalığı, eşlik eden orta-ileri ek kapak hastalığı olan hastalar çalışma dışı bırakıldı. Ana koroner arterlerin ortalama çapı kantitatif koroner arteriyografi ile hesaplandı.Bulgular: Üç çalışma grubu temel karakteristikler açısından benzerdi. Sol ana koroner arter çapı AY grubunda, AD grubuna göre daha geniş bulundu (2.66±0.57 mm/m2 ve 2.36±0.49 mm/m2; p=0.015). Sol ön inen arter ve sirkumfleks arter çapları AD ve AY grupları arasında benzerken, kontrol grubuna göre daha geniş bulundu. Sağ koroner arter çapı AY grubunda kontrol grubuna göre daha geniş olmasına rağmen AD ile kontrol grubu arasında anlamlı farklılık bulunmadı.Sonuç: Çalışma bulgularımızda koroner arter çaplarının AY grubunda, AD grubuna göre daha geniş olmaya meyilli olduğu gösterilmiştir. Koroner arter çapları üzerine etkili faktörleri inceleyen ileri araştırmalar, AY ve AD grupları arasındaki farklılığı ve mekanizmasını ortaya koyması bakımından yararlı olacaktır.
