Design and construction of fascia lata aortic valve prostheses.
نویسنده
چکیده
Current techniques for constructing fascia lata aortic valves result in a valve in which redundant cusp tissue is inadvertently incorporated in the proximal part of the cusp. This alters the flow character of the valve and produces a significant stenosis. An alternative technique, based on the normal anatomy of the aortic valve, is suggested which eliminates this fault. The technique is simple and can be used at the time of operation.

Chronic hemolysis following fascia lata and Starr-Edwards aortic valve replacement.
Sixty-two patients were investigated for chronic intravascular hemolysis from 3 months to 6iS years following aortic valve replacement; 27 patients had Starr-Edwards prostheses and 35 fascia lata grafts. The findings are suggestive of a significantly higher incidence and degree of hemolysis in patients with Starr-Edwards prostheses compared to those with fascia lata grafts. In both groups regur...
متن کاملHaemodynamic results of replacement of mitral and aortic valves with autologous fascia lata prostheses.
Twelve patients undergoing aortic and 28 undergoing mitral valve replacement with autologous fascia lata valves were studied before and six months after surgery. One aortic and 10 mitral valves were found to be significantly incompetent. Of the incompetent mitral valves, two appeared to have perivalvular leaks. Six of the remainder were associated with abnormal ventricular filling patterns. Val...
متن کاملA new method of autologous fascia lata replacement for aortic valvular disease.
Based on Senning's (1967) technique of aortic valve reconstruction with fascia lata, and on our own experience with Edwards' (Edwards, Karp, Robillard, and Kerr, 1969) and Ionescu's methods of fashioning fascia lata valves (Ionescu, Ross, Deac, Grimshaw, Taylor, Whitaker, and Wooler, 1970) we have developed a new procedure for the construction of aortic fascia lata valves without prosthetic sup...
متن کاملCusp degeneration in frame-supported autologous fascia lata mitral valves. Clinical results in 67 patients.
Sixty-seven metal-frame-supported autologous fascia lata mitral valves were placed in 67 patients. There was an operative mortality of 25% and an overall mortality of 40% within 20 months. Most of the late deaths were due to valve malfunction which occurred in 50% of survivors. Female patients demonstrated a much higher rate of valve dysfunction than did men. This malfunction of the fascial val...
متن کاملFrame-mounted tissue heart valves: technique of construction.
Since the first frame-mounted fascia lata heart valves were used clinically (Ionescu and Ross, 1969), over 260 tissue valves made of autologous or homologous fascia lata or of heterologous pericardium have been inserted at this institution in the mitral, aortic, and tricuspid positions. Encouraged by our results, especially with aortic valve replacement, over more than four and a half years (Io...
