Left ventricular endocardial fibroelastosis developed in two patients whose mitral valves were replaced by tilting disk prostheses. The distribution of the lesions was compatible with their being caused by a hemodynamic effect of the prosthetic valves. The fibroelastosis appeared to have been of no clinical importance in one patient, but in the other, the endocardial thickening was greater and was probably a factor in causing cardiac decompensation.
两名接受倾斜碟瓣二尖瓣置换术的患者发生了左心室心内膜纤维弹性组织增生。病变分布情况与人工瓣膜的血流动力学效应所致相符。在一名患者中，纤维弹性组织增生似乎并无临床意义，但在另一名患者中，心内膜增厚更明显，可能是导致心脏失代偿的一个因素。
