Abstract
Structural valve deterioration was seen in 18Â of 19 explanted valves with implant durations of at least 30Â months, and is related to valve design. It appears that clinicians should carefully consider Mitroflow valve implantation in all patients, even in patients older than 65Â years old, given the early presence of structural valve deterioration.
