In the future, we can expect that fewer patients will receive (MHVs), given that surgical repair often is possible in patients with mitral valve disease and a bioprosthetic valve is appropriate in ...

The incidence of actual mechanical failure of the prosthetic device has not been high. The purpose of this note is to describe a patient who died twenty months after an aortic ball-valve ...
