Severe and early stenosis of porcine heterograft mitral valve.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A patient who had aortic and mitral valves replaced by Carpentier porcine heterografts for bacterial endocarditis developed severe heart failure 18 days after operation. A second emergency operation revealed that the mitral prosthesis had become severely stenosed and calcified. A loud Graham Steell murmur had developed during the 12 hours before reoperation but no distinct murmurs of mitral stenosis had been detected.

Long-term hemodynamic assessment of the porcine heterograft in the mitral position. Late development of valvular stenosis.
We undertook a study of patients who had porcine mitral valves in place for more than 5 years and who had no clinical signs or symptoms suggestive of valve dysfunction. Of the first 54 patients who had porcine valves implanted in the mitral position, 18 were available for catheterization; all had a routine hemodynamic study postoperatively (mean 7 months) for comparison. Mean follow-up was 85 m...
متن کاملMarked thrombosis and calcification of porcine heterograft valves.
Prosthetic valvular dysfunction resulting in clinically significant complications occurred in six patients with Hancock porcine heterografts. In one patient with a prosthetic valve in the aortic position, massive prosthetic thrombosis resulted in sudden death. In two patients who had a mitral prosthesis, thrombosis resulted in congestive heart failure and systemic embolization; in one of the la...

Double orifice mitral valve (DOMV) is an uncommon anomaly that was first described by Greenfield. Since then more than 200 cases have been reported. In this anomaly, mitral valve has a single fibrous annulus which opens with two openings into the left ventricle. We report a case of DOMV accompanied with severe stenosis in a 22-year old female who had complaints of moderate dyspnea. In transth...

BaIlon mitral valvuloplasty and closed mitral valve conunissurotomy were performed in 450 and 127 patients, respectively. Also, 254 patients with severe mitral stenosis were enrolled in a prospective randomized trial comparing the two procedures. Immediately after balloon mitral valvuloplasty, mean left atrial pressure was 11.38±3.54 mmHg, transmitral valve gradient was 1.8±2 mmHg, and mit...
