Two hundred patients had an aortic valve replacement with the Smeloff-Cutter prosthesis between 1972 and 1980. One hundred and seventy six patients had aortic valve replacement alone (mortality 2.8%) and 24 patients had additional procedures. The overall mortality was 6.5%. One hundred and eighty seven patients have been followed up for from 4 months to 8 years (mean 33 months). The 14 patients who died later are analysed; half of these deaths were prosthesis related. There has been no instance of structural failure, ball variance or massive thrombosis in this series. All but 4 of the survivors showed functional improvement. We consider the Smeloff-Cutter valve a good choice for aortic valve replacement.
1972年至1980年间，200例患者接受了斯梅洛夫-卡特人工瓣膜主动脉瓣置换术。176例患者仅接受了主动脉瓣置换术（死亡率为2.8%），24例患者还接受了其他手术。总体死亡率为6.5%。187例患者接受了4个月至8年的随访（平均33个月）。对后来死亡的14例患者进行了分析；其中一半死亡与人工瓣膜相关。该系列中未出现结构故障、球瓣变异或大面积血栓形成的情况。除4例幸存者外，其余均显示功能改善。我们认为斯梅洛夫-卡特瓣膜是主动脉瓣置换的一个不错选择。
