Abstract
|
|
|
Two patients were admitted with chief complaints of exertional dyspnea and palpition respectively. Physical examination showed Grade III and Grade II to III systolic rumbling murmur at apex in each case. Chest X-ray and EKG findings were compatible with mitral insufficiency in both cases.
The diseased valves were replaced with Beall mitral valve prosthesis under cardiopulmonary bypass using hemodilution technic.
The first patient died of asphyxia due to tracheomalacia complicated after tracheostomy 3 months after operation and the 2nd patient was discharged in good condition one month after operation.
Autopsy of the 1st patient showed no thromous formation, no disc variance, and good epithelization of valve cuffs. In the second case clinical improvement was remarkable with decreased heart size.
