Auscultatory characteristics of normally functioning Lillehei-Kaster, Björk-Shiley, and St Jude heart valve prostheses.
Auscultatory and echocardiographic and phonocardiographic studies were performed on 26 patients who had a total of 11 Lillehei-Kaster, 16 Björk-Shiley, and 18 St Jude heart valve prostheses functioning normally in the aortic or mitral positions or both. With all types and positions of prostheses a distinct closing sound was always detected. It was frequently heard in two parts which, according ...
متن کاملHaemolysis after mitral valve replacement with the Björk-Shiley and the Lillehei-Kaster disc valve prosthesis.
The present study reports on the incidence and degree of intravascular haemolysis in 33 patients with Björk-Shiley tilting disc prosthesis and in 34 patients with Lillehei-Kaster pivoting disc valve prosthesis in the mitral position examined 12 to 24 months after the operation. Serum haptoglobin, serum lactate dehydrogenase, serum bilirubin, and haemoglobin estimations were performed. Significa...
متن کاملThe Incident of the Bjork-Shiley Heart Valve
The valvular disease usually involves two conditions: valvular stenosis and valvular insufficiency. Valvular stenosis occurs when a valve opening is smaller than normal due to stiff or fused leaflets. The narrowed opening may make the heart work very hard to pump blood through it. This can lead to heart failure. All four valves can be stenotic (hardened, restricting blood flow); the conditions ...
متن کاملHemodynamic Alterations Induced by Isoproterenol and Pacing After Aortic Valve Replacement with the Bjork-Shiley or St. Jude Medical Prosthesis
Stress evaluation was carried out in 26 patients approximately 7 months after aortic valve replacement with Bjork-Shiley valves (13 patients) and St. Jude medical valves (13 patients). During isoproterenol infusion (0.3 gg/kg/min), cardiac output increased by a factor of 1.5 and aortic valve area decreased by 50% for both valve groups, while transvalvular gradients (rest: 7 ± 2 vs 10 ± 5 mm Hg,...
متن کاملEchocardiographic and phonocardiographic characteristics of the lillehei-kaster mitral valve prosthesis.
SUMMARY The Lillehei-Kaster (L-K) valve is a tilting disc prosthesis currently in use for heart valve replacement. We report data from phonocardiography (PHONO) and echocardiography (ECHO) in 20 patients with a normally functioning mitral valve prosthesis (MVP). The MVP is well recorded by ECHO, resembling a mitral stenosis pattern with a disc excursion of 7 to 12 mm and a mean opening and clos...
