Late results of aortic valve replacement with the Starr-Edwards prosthesis.
Details are presented concerning 59 patients who left hospital between January 1964 and January 1969 after aortic valve replacement with the Starr-Edwards prosthesis. Of the 14 late deaths, 7 are known to have been due to causes related to the prosthesis and 4 to other causes. The 45 surviving patients have nearly all shown clinical improvement and only 3 are unable to work as a result of some ...
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 کاملPhonocardiographic method of assessing changes in left ventricular function after Starr-Edwards replacement of aortic valve.
A phonocardiographic method is described for measuring the time taken by the ball of a Starr-Edwards prosthesis to move to the apex of the cage at the onset of left ventricular ejection, and from this its acceleration can be derived. The acceleration is conspicuously increased in post-ectopic beats and in exercise, but is unaffected by posture and tachycardia induced by atropine or ventricular ...
