Starr-Edwards Mechanical Prosthesis for More Than 53 Years in the Mitral Position: A Case Report

International Journal of the Cardiovascular Academy
Valvular heart disease affects approximately 2.5% of the global population. Starr-Edwards (SE) prosthetic valves are commonly used in the aortic and mitral positions, with reported durability extending up to 40 years.

Evolving technology: the TRIFLO tri-leaflet mechanical valve without oral anticoagulation: a potential major innovation in valve surgery

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2023
The aortic valve is the most frequently diseased valve and aortic stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed countries. The diseased native aortic valve can be replaced by either a biological or mechanical valve prosthesis ...

Tissue Heart Valve Replacement at BSMMU- Initial Experience with Two Cases

Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University Journal, 2010
Research on prosthesis to replace diseased heart valves began almost simultaneously with mechanical valves which are durable but with inherent thromboembolic complication requiring life-long anticoagulant therapy and tissue valves which are more prone to

Surgical pulmonary valve replacement at a tertiary adult congenital heart centre in the current era

International Journal of Cardiology Congenital Heart Disease, 2022
Background: Surgical pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) is the standard cardiac operation in adult patients with congenital heart disease (ACHD). We report recent experience at a large tertiary centre and examine the impact of prosthesis type on outcomes.
