Valve Failure of the lonescu-Shiley Bovine Pericardial xenograft: 7 Year Follow - Up

IonescuShiley 조직판막 치환수술후 발생한 판막부전에 관한 임상적 연구 -7년간의 장기성적-

The result of valve failure with the lonescu-Shiley pericardial xenograft was presented with the review of current knowledge. This study reviewed 557 patients, who underwent total of 683 lonescu-Shiley pericardial valve replacement from 1979 to 1985 at Seoul National University Hospital. There were 357 patients who had mitral valve replacement, 73 with aortic valve and 127 with double valve replacement. There were 35 operative deaths. The survivors were followed at OPD. There were 32 patients who had prosthetic valve failure, whose ages ranged from 11 to 58 years [mean 27.8] and their postop interval was 56 ~ 22 months [range; 6-87] The causes of valve failure are prosthetic valve endocarditis in 14, primary disruption or calcification in 13, paravalvular leakage in 4, and others in 2 patients. Redo valve replacement was done in 12 patients after a mean interval of 50 * 20 months. [range; 6-79 months] Actuarial analysis of late results indicates actuarial freedom from endocarditis at 6 year is 87.9 ~ 6.8%, and actuarial freedom from primary disruption or calcification or paravalvular leakage at 5 year is 84.4 * 2.3%. In this series, however, valve failure due to thrombosis is not included.
