Fixation of aortic ball valve prosthesis (Starr-Edwards).
The technique of fixation of a ball valve prosthesis in the area of the non-coronary cusp by bringing the sutures from the collar of the prosthesis out through the wall of the aorta and tying them over strips of dacron has been discussed by Starr, Edwards, McCord, and Griswold (1963), and advocated by Effler, Groves, and Favaloro (1964). We have never in our first 100 operated cases seen a leak...
متن کاملBentall procedure 39 years after implantation of a Starr-Edwards Aortic Caged- Ball-Valve Prosthesis
We report a case of a male patient who received an implantation of a Starr-Edwards-caged-ball-valve-prosthesis in 1967. The surgery and postoperative course were without complications and the patient recovered well after the operation. For the next four decades, the patient remained asymptomatic--no restrictions on his lifestyle and without any complications. In 2006, 39 years after the initial...
متن کاملReoperation for a patient 25 years after a Starr-Edwards ball mitral valve was installed.
A 45-year-old female suffered from increasing dyspnea during exercise and edema of lower extremities from January 2000. She had undergone mitral valve replacement with Starr-Edwards ball prosthesis (model 6320) due to mitral valve regurgitation 25 years ago. The cardiac catheterization and echocardiography documented mitral, aortic and tricuspid valves regurgitation grade III. Left ventricular ...
متن کاملReplacement of an aortic Starr-Edwards ball valve prosthesis 28 years after implantation.
A 53-year-old woman who had undergone aortic valve replacement with a Starr-Edwards (S-E) valve (Model 1260) and open mitral commissurotomy 28 years previously was hospitalized with cardiac failure. Echocardiography showed mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and a normally functioning S-E prosthesis. At reoperation, the mitral and aortic valves were replaced with St Jude bileaflet mechanical...
متن کاملFunctional results with aortic ball valve prostheses (Starr-Edwards) followed for two to three years.
It is now believed that aortic insufficiency and calcific aortic stenosis must be treated with total valve replacement. Until recently this was performed with the aid of prostheses of teflon and similar materials. Even if the short-term results were promising, follow-up studies revealed a high percentage of breakdown of these prostheses (Bjork, Cullhed, and Lodin, 1963; Larson and Kirklin, 1964...
