Valve dysfunction of the cloth-covered Starr-Edwards ball valve.
BACKGROUND Between June 1968 and March 1977, Starr-Edwards cloth-covered ball valves were used for valve replacement on a routine basis. METHODS AND RESULTS Among the 66 operative survivors who underwent an isolated aortic or mitral valve replacement, 20 patients required reoperation 22 times because of valve dysfunction, thromboembolic complication, paravalvular leakage, hemolytic anemia, an...
متن کاملThe Starr-Edwards valve.
This report reviews the results obtained with the current models of the Silastic ball valve, classifying the experience with the mitral and aortic models into the periods (formula: see text) before and after 1973. Valve failure is defined according to the Stanford method and includes any valve-related death or complication necessitating valve removal (there have been no mechanical failures). Co...
متن کاملFixation 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 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 کاملProphylactic reoperation after mitral valve replacement with the Starr-Edwards ball valve: a report of four cases.
PURPOSE The Starr-Edwards ball valve was first applied clinically in 1960. In our hospital, this valve has been used since 1963, and some patients have been followed up for 30 years or more. Based on our experience, therapeutic strategies included revalve replacement as a preventive procedure in the absence of valve-related complications. In this study, we investigated whether prophylactic reop...
