Early clinical experience with the On-X prosthetic heart valve.
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF THE STUDY The study was designed to investigate the clinical performance of the On-X prosthetic heart valve in a multicenter experience. METHODS Between September 1996 and September 1999, 301 patients (56% males) underwent isolated On-X valve replacement (184 isolated aortic (AVR), 117 isolated mitral (MVR)) at 11 European centers under a standardized protocol. Average a...
متن کاملProsthetic heart valve.
A 55-year-old invasive/clinical cardiologist worked full time, exercised regularly, and was asymptomatic. Two weeks previously, he had new onset of angina on exertion. Echocardiography/Doppler and cardiac catheterization confirmed the clinical assessment of severe aortic stenosis with a valve area of 0.5 cm/m. The aortic valve was tricuspid; left ventricular ejection fraction was 0.60. Coronary...
متن کاملClinical experience with the Bicarbon heart valve prosthesis
BACKGROUND We have previously reported mid-term results of a study, which ended in January 2000, on the Bicarbon valve. The study concluded that the valve showed excellent clinical results, associated with a low incidence of valve-related complications. In the present study, the same patients were prospectively followed for an additional 5 years. METHODS Forty-four patients had aortic valve r...
متن کاملEarly clinical experience with the Hancock porcine xenograft valve prosthesis.
In a 2-year period, 75 Hancock porcine xenograft valves were inserted in 66 patients, 33 male and 33 female. Their average age was 55 years (range 14 to 69 years). The indication for operation was rheumatic heart disease (30 patients), prosthetic valve dysfunction (8 patients), papillary muscle dysfunction (8 patients), degenerative valve disease (13 patients), subacute bacterial endocarditis (...
متن کاملProsthetic valve endocarditis: state of the heart
Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) is a rare but serious complication of cardiac valve replacement surgery and is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. Despite significant advances in our understanding of the pathogenesis and management of this disease process, the rates of undesirable outcomes, including mortality directly attributable to infection, remain unacceptably high. ...
