Unusual Disc Dislodgement of a Björk-Shiley Valve after Long-term Implantation
https://e-kcj.org A 40-year-old male was admitted to the cardiac care unit (CCU) due to severe pneumonia associated with unstable hemodynamics. Meanwhile, a grade 3–4 systolic murmur was heard at the left lower sternal border. Tracing his history back, he had undergone mitral valve replacement with a Björk-Shiley convexoconcave prosthetic valve (single tilting disc mechanical valve) 25 years be...
متن کاملLong-term Experience with the Björk-Shiley Monostrut Tilting Disc Valve
The Bjork-Shiley Monostrut valve is tilting disc mechanical valve prosthesis. This study was designed to present the long-term outcome of our experience. One hundred and thirty-seven Bjork-Shiley Monostrut valves were implanted in 101 consecutive patients from November 1983 to February 1990. There were 60 male and 41 female with mean age of 34.5 yr at the time of operation. Fifty-nine patients ...
متن کاملHaemolysis after mitral valve replacement with the Björk-Shiley and the Lillehei-Kaster disc valve prosthesis.
The present study reports on the incidence and degree of intravascular haemolysis in 33 patients with Björk-Shiley tilting disc prosthesis and in 34 patients with Lillehei-Kaster pivoting disc valve prosthesis in the mitral position examined 12 to 24 months after the operation. Serum haptoglobin, serum lactate dehydrogenase, serum bilirubin, and haemoglobin estimations were performed. Significa...
متن کاملDisc embolisation after minor strut fracture in a Björk-Shiley mitral valve prosthesis.
We report the successful management of a patient who suffered embolisation of a Bjork-Shiley mitral prosthetic valve disc after fracture of the minor strut. Emergency surgical treatment was responsible for her survival. The disc was recovered through the abdominal aorta at a subsequent operation, performed once the condition of the patient had stabilised. This experience confirms previous repor...
متن کاملLong-term mortality and complications of Björk-Shiley spherical-disc valves--a life table analysis.
Bj6rk-Shiley Spherical-Disc Valves have been one of the most commonly used mechanical valves in the past 20 years. The long-term mortality and complications of these valves is therefore of great interest to the life insurance medical director. This paper presents an unusually complete set of data and additional follow-up of two earlier separate articles on long-term follow-up of aortic and mitr...
