The Starr-Edwards model 6000 valve. A fifteen-year follow-up of the first successful mitral prosthesis.
The Starr-Edwards model 6000 mitral valve was the first successful mitral prosthesis. A fifteen year follow-up of 110 patients undergoing isolated mitral valve replacement with this prosthesis from 1960 to 1966 is presented. There were 22 (20%) operative and 37 (42%) late deaths at a mean of 8.6 years postoperatively. Preoperative variables leading to late death and thromboembolism are analyzed...
متن کاملDiastolic murmurs in the presence of Starr-Edwards mitral prosthesis.
Diastolic murmurs associated with the Starr-Edwards mitral prosthesis have not been described previously. In this report, five patients with mitral prostheses are described in whom apical mid-diastolic and presystolic murmurs resulted from two different causes. Three patients had clots obstructing the prosthetic orifice. The other two had normally functioning protheses and moderately severe aor...
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 کاملAnalysis of dynamics of mitral Starr-Edwards valve prosthesis using reflected ultrasound.
The speed of closure of the mitral valve during diastole, as recorded by ultrasonocardiography, is reduced in patients with mitral stenosis. A pattern of movement similar to that of severe mitral stenosis is seen in recordingsfrom patients with normally functioning mitral Starr-Edwards prostheses. Simultaneous ultrasound recordings of ball and cage movements show that the prosthetic valve remai...
