Phonocardiographic 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 ...
متن کاملReplacement of an aortic Starr-Edwards ball valve prosthesis 28 years after implantation.
A 53-year-old woman who had undergone aortic valve replacement with a Starr-Edwards (S-E) valve (Model 1260) and open mitral commissurotomy 28 years previously was hospitalized with cardiac failure. Echocardiography showed mitral stenosis, mitral regurgitation, and a normally functioning S-E prosthesis. At reoperation, the mitral and aortic valves were replaced with St Jude bileaflet mechanical...
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 کاملThromboembolism after Starr valve replacement.
One hundred and six patients who left hospital after Starr-Edwards ball valve replacements have beenfollowedfor a period of 6 months tO 4 years. All patients were maintained on oral anticoagulant therapy so that a prothrombin ratio of approximately I 7:I was attained. Four patients suffered minor nose bleeds. During the period offollow-up there have been 4 patients who have suffered embolic phe...
متن کاملRuptured sinus of Valsalva aneurysm developed forty years after aortic valve replacement by Starr-Edwards mechanical valve
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare anomaly, most often caused by a congenital absence of muscular and elastic tissue in the aortic wall of the sinus of Valsalva. It was first described in 1938. The incidence is higher in eastern than western populations. Various surgical repair techniques have been reported with good results. In this case, a 61 years old man, with history of aortic valve repl...
