This case report is concern with the death of a patient 20 months following mitral valve replacement. The disc of a Cross-Jones prosthesis escaped into the left atrium causing severe mitral insufficiency. Disc variance represents a potentially lethal complication and patients with disc valve prostheses should be examined frequently. When signs and symptoms of mechanical malfunction develop, the valve prosthesis should be replaced immediately to prevent sudden death.
本病例报告涉及一名患者在二尖瓣置换术后20个月死亡。Cross-Jones人工瓣膜的瓣盘脱落至左心房，导致严重的二尖瓣关闭不全。瓣盘移位是一种潜在的致命并发症，人工瓣盘瓣膜置换患者应定期接受检查。当出现机械故障的体征和症状时，应立即更换人工瓣膜以预防猝死。
