Mitral Ball-Valve Prosthesis
REPLACEMENT of nonfunctioning valves is a significant recent advancement in the correction of cardiac valvular disease. The most widely used artificial device replacing the mitral valve is the Starr-Edwards ballvalve prosthesis.' Its effectiveness was shown in recent reports by the marked clinical improvement in properly selected patients.2 However, cardiologists and cardiac surgeons are faced ...
متن کاملLate 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 کاملMitral valve replacement with Alvarez prosthesis: long-term results.
Since the introduction of the Alvarez mitral valve prosthesis in 1964 it has been used clinically in Leeds General Infirmary because it was thought that it would produce better haemodynamic results than the other prosthetic valves. The aim of this study is to present the longterm results in patients who had this prosthesis inserted in the mitral valve position, and to show the high incidence of...
متن کاملIntravascular haemolysis after valve replacement: comparative study between Starr-Edwards (ball valve) and Björk-Shiley (disc valve) prosthesis.
Seventy-four patients with single prosthetic valves (Björk-Shiley or Starr-Edwards) in the mitral or aortic position and 18 controls with rheumatic valvar heart disease were investigated for evidence of intravascular haemolysis. Serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was used as the most sensitive indicator of haemolysis. Raised concentrations were found in a third of 39 patients with Björk-Shiley p...
متن کاملRight sided heart evaluation after successful mitral valve replacement.
Introduction: It is well-documented that right-sided heart dysfunction and significant tricuspid valve regurgitation (TVR) have adverse effects on patient outcomes after left-sided heart valve surgery. Therefore, the evaluation of right ventriclular (RV) function and TR severity in patients who had undergone mitral valve replacement (MVR), associated with/without concomitant su...
