Abstract

|
|
Sixteen cases of cardiac valve replacements have been done in this department since 1970.
Twelve cases of mitral valve replacement were done with Beall valve, 2 cases of aortic valve replacement with Starr-Edwards and Magoven valve and 2 cases of double valve replacement using Beall valve for mitral and Magovern valve for aortic.
Three patients (18.8%) died during operation. Two cases (12.5%) of hospital mortality occurred because of congestive heart, failure and asphyxia due to tracheomalacia 3 months after operation.
Follow-up studies from two to 27 months showed excellent results except three cases of late mortality (18.8%) .
Thromboembolism occurred in two double valve replacement patients (12.5%)who were fatal.
