The St. Jude Medical cardiac valve prosthesis: a 25-year experience with single valve replacement.
BACKGROUND From October 1977 to October 2002, 4,480 patients (age range, 17 to 94 years; average, 64 +/- 13 years) underwent single valve replacement with the St. Jude Medical heart valve. Of 2,982 aortic (AVR) and 1,498 mitral valve replacements (MVR), concomitant coronary artery bypass grafting was performed on 42% and 33%, respectively. METHODS Cardiac Surgical Associates has maintained an...
متن کاملSevere haemolytic anaemia after replacement of the mitral valve by a St Jude medical prosthesis.
Severe haemolytic anaemia developed in a 33 year old patient after the mitral valve was replaced with a St Jude medical prosthesis. This was the patient's third thoracotomy. She had already had a mitral commissurotomy and a mitral valve bioprosthesis. The patient had an E+ antibody to red blood cells as well as a paraprosthetic leak. The haemolysis became less severe once the population of E+ r...
متن کاملTwenty-five year experience with the St. Jude medical mechanical valve prosthesis.
BACKGROUND We evaluated all adult St. Jude mechanical valve recipients at our institution since the initial implant in January 1979 and now present our 25-year experience. METHODS Nine hundred forty-five valve recipients were followed prospectively at 12-month intervals from January 1979 to December 2007. RESULTS Operative mortality was 3% in the aortic valve recipients and 5% in the mitral...

patient-year), major bleeding events (1.0%/patient-year), and aortic valve reoperation (0.26%/patient-year). They also reported that valve-related death was the most common cause of death (26.8%) and that the rates of freedom from valve-related death were 96.2%, 92.7%, 88.8%, and 86.6% at 5, 10, 15, and 20 years, respectively. These results compare favorably with the findings of previous report...
متن کاملFlow-induced platelet activation in a St. Jude mechanical heart valve, a trileaflet polymeric heart valve, and a St. Jude tissue valve.
Polymer heart valves have been under investigation since the 1960s, but their success has been hampered by an overall lack of durability mainly due to calcification of the leaflets and a relatively high rate of thromboembolic complications. A new polymer (Quatromer) trileaflet design was tested for its thrombogenic potential and was compared to that of existing prosthetic heart valves routinely...
