Thirty-Year Results After Implantation of the Björk-Shiley Convexo-Concave Heart Valve Prosthesis
Modifications of the Björk-Shiley valve prosthesis have shown good long-term results. The convexo-concave model, however, was recalled 27 years ago because of a propensity for breakage due to outlet strut fracture. The objective of this study is to describe the 30-year outcome after implantation of the Björk-Shiley convexo-concave mechanical heart ...

Heart Valve Replacement with the St. Jude Medical® Valve Prosthesis: Long-Term Experience in 743 Patients Receiving Valve Implants in Switzerland [PDF]
From November 1978 to June 1986, 743 patients received 828 ST. JUDE MEDICAL® valves (SJM) at the University Clinics of Basel, Berne, and Lausanne, Switzerland. There were 445 men and 298 women, with a mean age of 57 years (range 1–83 years), who were followed for a mean of 2.6 years (22,768 patient-months).

An 82-year-old woman with severe aortic stenosis was referred. She had previously undergone mitral valve replacement. We planned transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) with transfemoral approach. We planned to use the Safari-dedicated TAVI guidewire. No studies have reported clinical application of the dedicated TAVI guidewire in a patient with

[Iron deficiency following implantation of a heart valve prosthesis].
In 44 patients with single or multiple valvular protheses of the heart, the problem of secondary iron deficiency due to mechanical hemolysis was investigated. In 17 cases, elevated serum transferrin values were noted, compared to elevated serum iron levels in only 6 cases.

In order to establish the influence of prosthetic valve replacement on the natural course of mitral, aortic, and double-valve disease of NYHA class III and IV, the progress of 359 patients with Björk-Shiley mitral-valve prostheses (BSM), 317 with aortic valve prostheses, and 107 with double valve prostheses was compared with that of patients who had ...

Preservation of the mitral valve and subvalvular apparatus was introduced into the clinic in the early sixties, but for two decades the standard technique for mitral valve replacement included excision of both leaflets and their attached chordae tendineae. Lately, increased emphasis has again been placed on retention of the mitral subvalvular apparatus
