Acute dysfunction of Starr-Edwards mitral prostheses.
Four cases of acute dysfunction of Starr-Edwards mitral prostheses are recorded. The patients presented with sudden dyspnoea 4 to 18 months after apparently successful mitral valve replacement. The prosthetic valve dysfunction was caused by thrombus on the bare metal cage of the prosthesis. No warning thromboembolic phenomena had been recorded. Urgent replacement of the valve resulted in the su...
متن کاملClinical significance of multiple systolic clicks from Starr-Edwards prosthetic aortic valves.
The use of echocardiography, phonocardiography, and spectroanalysis has enhanced the ability to detect prosthetic valve dysfunction even before the onset of symptoms in many patients. Reduction in the intensity of the opening and closing clicks and the appearance of new murmurs have been the most frequently reported observations in predicting prosthetic valve dysfunction. Simultaneous echocardi...

Slater, S. D., Saflam, I. A., Bain, W. H., Turner, M. A., and Lawrie, T. D. V. (1974). Thorax, 29, 624-632. Haemolysis with Bjork-Shiley and Starr-Edwards prosthetic heart valves: a comparative study. A comparison was made of the haemolytic complications in 85 patients with two different types of Starr-Edwards cloth-covered ball and cage prosthesis with those in 44 patients with the Bjork-Shile...
متن کامل40 Years experience in mitral valve replacement using Starr-Edwards, St. Jude Medical and ATS valves.
BACKGROUND We have used the Starr-Edwards ball (S-E) valve since 1963, the St. Jude Medical (SJM) valve since 1978, and the ATS valve, since 1993 as the first choice of mechanical valve. In this study, the results with each valve during the 40 years were investigated in single mitral valve replacement (MVR) cases. PATIENTS AND METHODS The mean age for S-E valves was 32.8+/-11.1 years old (y.o...
متن کاملCineangiographic studies in patients with Starr-Edwards aortic valves.
RECENT REPORTS of postoperative clinical and cardiac catheterization studies in patients after replacement of their aortic valves with a ball-valve prosthesis have included adequate clinical and hemodynamic measurements both at rest and during exercise.'-6 There is, however, little information regarding the competency of these valves as determined angiographically, since aortic root cineangiogr...
