RESUMO

We report the successful closure of a postoperative patent foramen ovale in a patient who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting and mitral valve replacement for severe mitral insufficiency. The postoperative course was complicated by severe hypoxemia due to a large patent foramen ovale. The patient underwent transcatheter closure with the Das Angel Wings transcatheter occluder (Microvena Corporation, White Bear Lake, MN) with immediate improvement.

RESUMO

OBJECTIVES: The CarboMedics, Duromedics, Sorin Bicarbon and the St. Jude Medical valves are bileaflet mechanical prostheses of modern but different design. Choosing a valve with the best hemodynamic profile is of clinical importance in patients with small ventricles and a small mitral annulus. METHODS: The hemodynamic performance of these valves in the mitral position was compared in 76 asymptomatic, ambulatory patients with normally functioning prosthesis and left ventricle, using Doppler echocardiography. Of the 76 patients studied, 22 had the CarboMedics, 16 had the Duromedics, 17 had the Sorin Bicarbon and 21 had the St. Jude prosthesis. The patients ages ranged from 18 to 81 years. There were 44 women and 32 men. The time from implantation to echocardiographic study ranged from 1 to 55 months. RESULTS: The echocardiographic study was performed earlier after surgery in the Sorin Bicarbon group. There was no significant difference in women/man ratio, incidence of atrial fibrillation, left ventricular or left atrial diameters between the four groups. The mean prosthesis size was significantly smaller for Sorin Bicarbon and Duromedics valves compared to the CarboMedics and the St. Jude valves (mean+/-SD, 27.2+/-1.3, 27.1+/-1.1 and 30.0+/-1.9 and 30.0+/-2.7 mm, respectively, P<0.001). Despite its smaller size the Sorin Bicarbon valve had significantly larger effective valve area by Doppler compared to the CarboMedics valve (290+/-40 vs 250+/-60 mm2, respectively, P=0.014). The ratio of effective valve area to prosthesis size was significantly larger for the Sorin Bicarbon valve when compared with any other type of prosthesis. CONCLUSIONS: (1) The Sorin Bicarbon bileaflet valve offered the best hemodynamic results that may be explained by the valve's large leaflet opening angle and small thickness of the leaflets. (2) Since the Sorin Bicarbon is the newest bileaflet valve, durability of this valve remains uncertain.
