Early Postoperative Development of Aortic Regurgitation Related to Pannus Ingrowth Causing Incomplete Disc Seating of a Björk-Shiley Prosthesis

Incomplete seating of the disc of a recently implanted Björk-Shiley aortic prosthesis occurred because of excessive ingrowth of fibrous tissue. This resulted in significant aortic regurgitation plus hemolytic anemia. Reoperation with identification of the problem and implantation of a Hancock biopro...

Zusammenfassung:Incomplete seating of the disc of a recently implanted Björk-Shiley aortic prosthesis occurred because of excessive ingrowth of fibrous tissue. This resulted in significant aortic regurgitation plus hemolytic anemia. Reoperation with identification of the problem and implantation of a Hancock bioprosthesis was required for resolution of the situation.
