We report the case of a 40-year-old woman whose Sorin tilting disc mitral prosthesis was obstructed by fibrous overgrowth to the point of near occlusion. The unusual features of this case are that the patient survived reoperation and that her preoperative symptoms were mild despite an immobile disc and near occlusion of the valve. In most similar cases in the literature, preoperative symptoms have been acute and mortality has been high.
我们报告了一例40岁女性患者，其索林倾斜盘式二尖瓣人工瓣膜被纤维组织过度生长阻塞，几乎完全闭塞。该病例的不寻常之处在于患者再次手术后存活下来，并且尽管瓣膜盘固定不动且瓣膜几乎闭塞，但她术前症状较轻。在文献中大多数类似病例中，术前症状严重且死亡率较高。
