Isolated mitral and aortic valve replacement with the St. Jude Medical valve: a midterm follow-up.
BACKGROUND In our country, the biological valvular prostheses predominate, considering the difficulties related to anticoagulation, even in young patients, in spite of the need for repeated operations due to the degeneration of the bioprostheses. OBJECTIVES To report our consecutive series of recipients of isolated St Jude Medical mechanical valve prosthesis in the mitral (MVR) or aortic (AVR...
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 کاملOutcome of patients treated with a St. Jude prosthetic heart valve.
BACKGROUND Long-term outcome of patients treated with a St. Jude prosthetic heart valve was reported by investigators in Lausanne, Switzerland. This article quantifies the mortality and morbidity implications of single or multiple heart valve replacement. RESULTS After hospital discharge, mortality ratios were highest for duration 5-10 years, roughly comparable in patients who received a sing...
متن کاملCombined warfarin and antiplatelet therapy after St. Jude Medical valve replacement for mitral valve disease.
OBJECTIVES The clinical effect of combined warfarin and antiplatelet therapy on the incidence of stroke and postoperative complications after mitral (plus aortic) valve replacement was studied and compared with that observed with warfarin therapy alone. BACKGROUND It has been reported that combined warfarin and antiplatelet therapy may be effective but may be associated with an increased hemo...
متن کاملThrombosed prosthetic mitral valve.
1 of 2 DESCRIPTION A 29-year-old woman presented with pulmonary oedema and low cardiac output. Her mitral valve was replaced 20 years back with a Sorin mechanical valve. She had stopped anticoagulants a month back on her own for excessive menstrual bleeding. Echo showed a gradient of 26 mm Hg across the valve with regurgitation. Fluroscopy confi rmed limited disc opening of only 15° with incomp...
