Surgery Today, 08/20/09
Asano R et al. – This report presents two cases of young women who underwent mitral valve replacement with Starr–Edwards ball valves during their childhood. Although they did not have any cardiac symptoms, transthoracic echocardiography and cardiac catheterization data demonstrated that both the patients had asymptomatic mild relative mitral stenosis. The presence of significant pannus formation along the strut and sewing ring of the excised valves could also have a positive impact on the decision to undergo reoperation.
