We present a patient with a history of a Sorin tilting disc prosthetic mitral valve implanted 20 years ago who developed acute dyspnoea. Echocardiogram revealed a unique pattern of 'obstruction alternans' of mitral valve prosthesis due to pannus formation. We emphasize the need for urgent surgical treatment of this potentially fatal complication.
我们报告一名患者,其20年前植入了索林倾斜盘式人工二尖瓣,现出现急性呼吸困难。超声心动图显示,由于 pannus 形成,二尖瓣假体出现了一种独特的“梗阻交替征”模式。我们强调,对于这种可能致命的并发症,需要紧急进行手术治疗。
