Prosthetic Mitral Valve Leaflet Escape
Leaflet escape of prosthetic valve is rare but potentially life threatening. It is essential to make timely diagnosis in order to avoid mortality. Transesophageal echocardiography and cinefluoroscopy is usually diagnostic and the location of the missing leaflet can be identified by computed tomography (CT). Emergent surgical correction is mandatory. We report a case of fractured escape of Edwar...
متن کاملDesign of a fourth generation prosthetic heart valve: tri-leaflet valve
ASBTRACT Introduction: The interest in developing a prosthetic heart tri-laeflet valve is based on the durability of mechanical prosthesis; the good hemodynamic performance of bio-prosthesis due to the central flow, its perfect closure, the negligible thrombogenic index, and the negligible perception of its presence by the user. Objectives: Develop a mathematical model of a fourth generation pr...

متن کاملLong-term event-free survival with an embolised prosthetic valve leaflet in the thoracic aorta
We report the case of a patient who underwent a redo surgery for a leaflet escape from a Bjork-Shiley tilting disc mitral prosthesis inserted 18 years previously. The escaped disc remained lodged in the thoracic aorta without any complication. She ultimately died of terminal heart failure 13 years after the second operation. We believe this to be the longest survival with a dislodged leaflet fr...
متن کاملRetrieval of a leaflet escaped in a Tri-technologies bileaflet mechanical prosthetic valve.
The escape of the prosthetic heart valve disc is one of the causes of prosthetic dysfunction that requires emergency surgery. The removal of the embolized disc should be carried out because of the risk of a progressive extrusion on the aortic wall. Several imaging techniques can be used for the detection of the missing disc localization. In this report we describe a 32-year-old man who underwen...
