Congenital polyvalvular disease [PDF]
Thirty-six hearts were studied in which all valves were involved in a dysplastic process. This consisted of an increase in spongiosa with vacuolar and lacunar degeneration, and a distinct lack of elastic tissue in the proximalis and in the spongiosa. This process was similar to, but more marked than that seen in a case of a single dysplastic valve as ...
