چکیده

We describe a 73 year-old patient with mitral valve pericardial bioprosthesis Carpentier-Edwards 29M implanted due to the rheumatic mitral stenosis 21 years ago. Hemodynamic destabilisation had emerged 18 months before the admission. Echocardiography revealed significant bioprosthesis degeneration with calcification of its leaflets, small pannus on the bioprosthetic ring, moderate mitral stenosis, severe mitral and tricuspid regurgitation with high pulmonary hypertension and moderate aortic regurgitation. Redo valve surgery with mechanical Medtronic 27M valve implantation and tricuspid suture annuloplasty was successfully performed. The postoperative course was complicated by bleeding and severe respiratory insufficiency and the patient died 3 weeks after the surgery.

Structural valve deterioration of a mitral Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis in an 87-year-old woman 16 years after its implantation

The second-generation pericardial valve, the Carpentier-Edwards perimount bioprosthetic (CEP) valve, shows dramatically improved durability as compared to the first-generation pericardial valve, and excellent performance has been obtained, in both the aortic and mitral positions. Especially in elderly patients with an implanted CEP valve, reoperation due to structural valve deterioration (SVD) ...

Very long-term outcomes of the Carpentier-Edwards Perimount valve in aortic position.

BACKGROUND The Carpentier-Edwards Perimount pericardial bioprosthesis (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA) has demonstrated good long-term outcomes, but its durability remains unclear depending on age at implantation. We report our 20-year experience with the Perimount valve implanted in the aortic position, with particular attention to the probability and time to reoperation required due to biop...

A case of transient bioprosthetic valve regurgitation and hemolysis devoloping early after surgery using Carpentier-Edwards valve.

The Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis has been markedly improved in the long-term results and valve-related complications including valve dysfunction, compared to the previous generation bioprosthesis. We report a patient in whom transient prosthetic valve regurgitation and hemolysis occurred early after mitral valve replacement using a Carpentier-Edwards pericardial bioprosthesis an...

Durability of pericardial versus porcine aortic valves.

OBJECTIVES This study compares the long-term performance of the Carpentier-Edwards (CE) porcine bioprosthesis and the CE pericardial bioprosthesis for aortic valve replacement (AVR). BACKGROUND With new bioprostheses on the horizon, there is renewed interest in how the long-term durability of current pericardial bioprostheses compares with the traditional porcine bioprosthesis. METHODS We r...

Primary leaflet tear without dystrophic calcifications in a 25 years old Ionescu-Shiley pericardial valve in mitral position

Despite its excellent hemodynamic performance, the Ionescu-Shiley bovine pericardial bioprosthesis was removed from clinical use in 1987 because of an unacceptable high incidence of primary structural deterioration of the valve, mainly related to its design. Few examples of very long-term durability of this prosthesis have been recently reported. In all these cases, the valve dysfunction was ca...
