Outline of Final Research Achievements

A meta-analysis of long term results of mechanical valve replacement was performed. We found that the incidence of valve relatred complication was different from western countries. The rate of bleeding complication was much less in Japan compared to western countries. We also performed microsimulation of deaths and complications following valve replacement using numbers obtained from the meta-analysis and found that best valve choice is very different between western countries and Japan. The paper, Influence of characteristics of Japanese patients on the long-term outcomes after aortic valve replacement: results of a microsimulation. received the best achievement award of Japanese society of thoracic surgery.
