Of the valves implanted 25 were St. Jude, 7 Duromedics, and 2 Bjork-Shiley. The hospital mortality rate was 6.1% and the late mortality was none. Follow-up was done on 28 surviving patients; mean follow-up period was 31.21$\pm$16.96 months. Valve-related and anticoagulant-related complications were none. The actuarial survival rate was 93.4% at 5 years.
