Chronic Hemolysis Following Mitral Valve Replacement
The incidence and severity of chronic intravascular hemolysis was evaluated in a total of 41 patients following mitral valve replacement. Valve replacement was with a gamma-radiated frame-mounted aortic homograft in 21 patients and with a composite seat Starr-Edwards prosthesis, model 6310 or 6320, in 20 patients. The parameters used to assess hemolysis were hemoglobin, hematocrit, reticulocyte...
متن کامل[Left ventricular rupture following mitral valve replacement].
Rupture of the posterior wall of the left ventricle is an unusual but often lethal complication following mitral valve replacement. The incidence is about 1% of MVRs. Most of the ruptures are attributed either to technical maneuvers in the operation or to stretch injury produced by removal of the mural leaflet of the mitral valve. Surgical repair of the rupture requires the cardiopulmonary bypa...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Rupture Following Mitral Valve Replacement*
During a 10-year period, we have encountered 6 patients (mean age, 61.2 years) with left ventricular rupture following mitral valve replacement, with an overall incidence of 1.8 percent. Four patients had early rupture, one had delayed rupture, and one had late rupture with a false aneurysm formation. Among four patients with early niptare, there were two patients with external repair by using ...
متن کاملCardioversion following prosthetic mitral valve replacement.
SUMMARY Direct current conversion of atrial fibrillation has been attempted in 60 consecutive patients following prosthetic mitral valve replacement (Starr-Edwards prosthesis). Sinus rhythm was attained and persisted for at least 24 hours after the procedure in 68% (41 patients) and 40% of the entire group (24 patients) were still in normal sinus rhythm an average of 10 months later. Successful...
متن کاملConstrictive pericardial disease following mitral valve replacement.
Constrictive pericardial disease developing after open heart surgery is not a well-recognized complication of this procedure. It has been reported only a few times and usually not with good hemodynamic data before and after the subsequent pericardiectomy. We presently report a patient who developed constrictive pericardial disease five years after mitral valve replacement. This was documented w...
