An old mitral homograft in the tricuspid position (original) (raw)

The Journal of heart valve disease, 2013

Abstract

The case is presented of a 55-year-old male implanted with a mitral valve homograft (MVH) in the tricuspid position. The MVH has remained in place for 21 years, but underwent repair during the 13th postoperative year. The explant findings of this surgical anecdote are discussed, with emphasis placed on reoperation and late clinical events. The extreme long-term performance of this MVH was unexpected.
