Homograft valve replacement for aortic valve disease.
Our experience with homograft replacement of the aortic valve now includes 175 patients operated on over a period of almost three years, and we have come to aceept this method as the best surgical treatment for aortic incompetence and for calcific aortic stenosis. As others continue to use a ball valve prosthesis, it is important to analyse the results with the homograft valve, paying particula...
متن کاملBacterial endocarditis following homograft replacement of the aortic valve.
Endocarditis was encountered on an aortic homograft valve in 14 of 539 patients, giving a total incidence of 2.6%. It was an early postoperative complication in five patients (0.9%), and only one of these survived. Four hundred and six hospital survivors were followed for periods up to 76 mo. Nine of these patients (2.2%) developed infection of the homograft valve 11 to 66 mo postoperatively an...
متن کاملHomograft Aortic Valve Replacement in Aortic Incompetence and Stenosis.
The surgery of aortic incompetence and calcific aortic stenosis has made disappointing progress, chiefly because of the need for partial or total valve replacement in many of these patients and the technical problems inherent in designing an artificial valve. In rheumatic aortic incompetence it is now fairly clear that total replacement of the valve is almost always required (McGoon, Mankin, an...
متن کاملMiliary tuberculosis following homograft valve replacement.
Postoperative septicaemia with infective endocarditis is a recognized complication of open-heart surgery, in particular homograft or prosthetic replacement of cardiac valves. Several infective organisms, both bacterial and fungal, have been incriminated but infection due to tubercle bacilli has not, to our knowledge, been reported. The clinicopathological features of this condition are discusse...
متن کاملPatient outcome and valve performance following a second aortic valve homograft replacement.
BACKGROUND Homograft valves offer many advantages; however, there is concern about their use in second aortic valve replacement because of the complexity of the procedure and the possibility of accelerated degeneration. METHODS AND RESULTS One hundred and forty-four patients underwent a second aortic homograft replacement between 1973 and 1997 (mean follow-up 6.5+/-5 years, range 1 to 20 year...
