The autopsy findings in 41 patients with University of Cape Town aortic valve prostheses were studied. Twenty patients died within 1 month of operation and 21 patients died later, up to 141 months after operation. The most important postoperative complications which were common to both groups of patients were arrhythmias, myocardial failure and infection. Systemic embolism was the most important late complication. The type of coronary arterial perfusion or ventricular rhythm during bypass did not influence the myocardial pathology. Patients who died of myocardial failure did not show more severe myocardial alterations than did those who died of other causes.
对41例接受开普敦大学主动脉瓣置换术患者的尸检结果进行了研究。20例患者在术后1个月内死亡，21例患者在术后较晚时间死亡，最长至术后141个月。两组患者共有的最重要术后并发症是心律失常、心肌衰竭和感染。全身栓塞是最重要的晚期并发症。体外循环期间的冠状动脉灌注类型或心室节律不影响心肌病理改变。死于心肌衰竭的患者与死于其他原因的患者相比，并未表现出更严重的心肌改变。
