Aortic valve replacement in patients over 70 years.

No more patients died during a mean follow-up period of 28 months. The Björk-Shiley standard tilting disc valve was implanted in 15 cases and the new convexo-concave model in 12 cases. Sixty-seven per cent of the patients had narrow aortic roots (21 and 23 mm pro...

BACKGROUND Several centers favor replacing a diseased native heart valve with a tissue rather than a mechanical prosthesis, even in younger adult patients. However, long-term data supporting this approach are lacking. We examined the survival implications of selecting a tissue versus a mechanical prosthesis at initial left-heart valve replacement in a cohort of adults <60 years of age who were ...
