Abstract
|
|
|
St. Jude Medical bileaflet valves were implanted in 42 patients from September, 1988, to July, 1993(mitral valve replacement in 25, aortic valve replacement in 11, multiple valve replacement in 6). Concomitant procedures were performed in 5
patients(11.9%). The early mortality was 4.8%(2 patients) and the late mortality was 9.5%(4 patients). The valve-related causes of late mortality were prosthetic valve endocarditis(three) and unknown(one). There was no instance of structural
failure.
Follow up was 100% complete, with 179.8 patient-years and a mean follow up of months(from 1.5 to 84 months). The overall actuarial survival rates was 90±4.7% at 5 years. At 5 years, the acturarial freedom from valve failure was 90±4.7%,
89.7±4.8%
from thromboembolism and 92.3±4.2% from bacterial endocarditis, respectively.
