[Valve prosthesis in calcified aortic heart defects]
Abstract:
Experience in surgical correction of aortic valvular disease with extreme calcification of valves in 145 patients is generalized. The method for valve prosthetics preventing the development of specific complications is described. On the basis of analysis of the immediate and late postoperative results, it is recommended to use cold cardioplagia for protection of the myocardium. Hospital postoperative mortality was 13.9% in the last 4 years and 10.5% in the last 18 months. Preliminaly coronarography is suggested for the examination of patients with marked angina pectoris and with local changes on the ECG in the group of elderly patients for ruling out a concomitant organic lesion of the coronary artery.

Heart Valves
The AV valves prevent the backflow of blood from the ventricles to the atria during ventricular contraction. These valves function with the assistance of the chordae tendineae and papillary muscles. When the ventricles are relaxed, the chordae tendineae are slack, allowing blood to flow from the atria into the...
