ollow-Up of Shelhigh Porcine Pulmonic Valve onduits
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background. We implanted Shelhigh porcine pulmonic alve conduits because of the limited availability of omografts in our country. The aim of this study was to valuate the short-term results of SPVC. Methods. From November 2002 to July 2005, the Sheligh porcine pulmonic valve conduit was implanted in 3 patients (81 procedures) in the right ventricular outow tract to correct congenital heart diseases. Operative rocedures were Rastelli operation in 65, anatomic corection of atrioventricular discordance in 5, and Ross peration in 3. Age at operation was 6.8 7.5 years, ncluding 11 patients under 1 year. The median conduit ize was 18 mm (range, 12 to 24 mm). Results. There was no operative mortality and 1 nononduit-related late death (mean follow-up, 11.3 10.7 onths). Ten conduits (12.3%, 7 patients) were removed

متن کاملStentless aortic valve replacement: an update
Although porcine aortic valves or pericardial tissue mounted on a stent have made implantation techniques easier, these valves sacrifice orifice area and increase stress at the attachment of the stent, which causes primary tissue failure. Optimizing hemodynamics to prevent patient-prosthetic mismatch and improve durability, stentless bioprostheses use was revived in the early 1990s. The purpose...

A 74-year old patient developed severe aortic valve regurgitation 11 years following root replacement using a stentless Shelhigh tube-graft. Computed tomography scan showed a heavily calcified aortic conduit (Fig. 1), although the company claims that detoxification process eliminates residual glutaraldehyde and ensures less calcification in the long term. The patient underwent successful transa...

Nine to thirteen years ago when the original mitral valve prostheses were introduced, only the Starr-Edwards ballcage valve was available. Since that time a number of other artificial valves have been offered for clinical use.3 11 In view of the development of left ventricular wall t...

BACKGROUND Extension of infection below the aortic valve is a serious complication, especially with mitral valve involvement. Mortality is substantial and reinfection can strongly influence outcome. PATIENTS Of 327 surgical patients with active infective aortic valve endocarditis admitted to the Deutsches Herzzentrum Berlin for surgical treatment between December 1996 and December 2003, 108 h...
