Severe hemolysis with a fabric-worn cloth-covered aortic valve prosthesis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient developed severe hemolytic anemia one year after insertion of a cloth-covered aortic valve prosthesis (Starr-Edwards No. 2320). The cloth over the three struts was disrupted but showed coverage with mostly organized collagen. Hemolysis stopped after replacement with a porcine heterograft. Fabric wear seems to augment the hemolysis in patients with cloth-covered artificial valves.

Valve dysfunction of the cloth-covered Starr-Edwards ball valve.
BACKGROUND Between June 1968 and March 1977, Starr-Edwards cloth-covered ball valves were used for valve replacement on a routine basis. METHODS AND RESULTS Among the 66 operative survivors who underwent an isolated aortic or mitral valve replacement, 20 patients required reoperation 22 times because of valve dysfunction, thromboembolic complication, paravalvular leakage, hemolytic anemia, an...
متن کاملThe pathology of wear in the Beall model 104 heart valve prosthesis.
We examined 13 Beall model 104 prostheses recovered at surgery or autopsy 10 to 84 1/2 months after insertion and observed the pattern of prosthesis wear. We defined wear as "mild" when the disc was notched but neither the metal of the struts was exposed not the cloth seat torn. In "moderate" wear the disc was notched, the Teflon coating of the struts was worn away exposing the underlying meta...

متن کاملThrombo-embolic complications of the cloth-covered Starr-Edwards prostheses No. 2300 aortic and No. 6300 mitral.
The thrombo-embolic complications of the cloth-covered Starr-Edwards prostheses No. 2300 aortic and No. 6300 mitral followed for an average of 14 months in 155 patients are reviewed. There was a high incidence of early fatal and disabling thrombo-embolus in patients 'having mitral valve replacement. Late emboli were more common after aortic valve replacement. Anticoagulant control was unsatisfa...
