40 Years experience in mitral valve replacement using Starr-Edwards, St. Jude Medical and ATS valves.
BACKGROUND We have used the Starr-Edwards ball (S-E) valve since 1963, the St. Jude Medical (SJM) valve since 1978, and the ATS valve, since 1993 as the first choice of mechanical valve. In this study, the results with each valve during the 40 years were investigated in single mitral valve replacement (MVR) cases. PATIENTS AND METHODS The mean age for S-E valves was 32.8+/-11.1 years old (y.o...
متن کاملCombined warfarin and antiplatelet therapy after St. Jude Medical valve replacement for mitral valve disease.
OBJECTIVES The clinical effect of combined warfarin and antiplatelet therapy on the incidence of stroke and postoperative complications after mitral (plus aortic) valve replacement was studied and compared with that observed with warfarin therapy alone. BACKGROUND It has been reported that combined warfarin and antiplatelet therapy may be effective but may be associated with an increased hemo...
متن کاملIsolated mitral and aortic valve replacement with the St. Jude Medical valve: a midterm follow-up.
BACKGROUND In our country, the biological valvular prostheses predominate, considering the difficulties related to anticoagulation, even in young patients, in spite of the need for repeated operations due to the degeneration of the bioprostheses. OBJECTIVES To report our consecutive series of recipients of isolated St Jude Medical mechanical valve prosthesis in the mitral (MVR) or aortic (AVR...
متن کاملActive stiffening of mitral valve leaflets in the beating heart.
The anterior leaflet of the mitral valve (MV), viewed traditionally as a passive membrane, is shown to be a highly active structure in the beating heart. Two types of leaflet contractile activity are demonstrated: 1) a brief twitch at the beginning of each beat (reflecting contraction of myocytes in the leaflet in communication with and excited by left atrial muscle) that is relaxed by midsysto...
متن کاملTranscatheter aortic valve replacement with the St. Jude Medical Portico valve: first-in-human experience.
OBJECTIVES The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the feasibility and procedural outcomes with a new self-expanding and repositionable transcatheter heart valve. BACKGROUND Transcatheter aortic valve replacement is a viable option for selected patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. However, suboptimal prosthesis positioning may contribute to paravalvular regurgitation, atriov...
