A 59-year-old male who had undergone aortic and mitral valve replacement with Starr-Edwards ball valves 27 years ago was admitted to our hospital for hemolytic anemia and heart failure. Echocardiography revealed prosthetic valve failure with a high-pressure gradient and small effective orifice area. The Starr-Edwards ball valves were successfully replaced with bileaflet mechanical valves. The explanted valves revealed no structural abnormalities.
一名59岁男性，27年前接受了用斯塔尔-爱德华兹球瓣进行的主动脉瓣和二尖瓣置换术，因溶血性贫血和心力衰竭入住我院。超声心动图显示人工瓣膜功能衰竭，伴有高压梯度和较小的有效瓣口面积。成功地将斯塔尔-爱德华兹球瓣替换为双叶机械瓣。取出的瓣膜未发现结构异常。
