Dynamic Echocardiographic Imaging of a Valve-in-Valve Mitral Prosthesis

open access: yesCase Reports in Radiology, 2022
Dynamic imaging of heart valves and specifically prosthetic valves is a central benefit of echocardiography. Most bioprosthetic heart valves degenerate over a given time and hence require repeat valve replacement which carries a significant risk of ...

Long-term survival following aortic valve replacement : the influence of age, prosthesis-patient mismatch and indexed effective orifice area [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Background: Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) has been linked to reduced long-term survival after aortic valve replacement. We studied the influence of age, PPM and indexed effective orifice area (iEOA) in this setting. Methods Patients (n=586) subjected

Heart valve replacement with the Sorin tilting-disc prosthesis

open access: yesThe Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1992
From 1978 to 1988, 697 patients with a mean age of 48 +/- 11 years (range 5 to 75 years) received a Sorin tilting-disc prosthesis; 358 had had aortic valve replacement, 247 mitral valve replacement, and 92 mitral and aortic valve replacement. Operative mortality rates were 7.8%, 11.3%, and 10.8%, respectively, in the three groups.
