    Summary

    Valvular prostheses are effective for acquired and congenital heart diseases. This study reviews 324 valve implantations, noting a 22.8% immediate postoperative mortality rate in a recent cohort.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Surgery
    • Biomedical Engineering

    Context:

    • Valvular prostheses have a significant role in managing acquired and congenital heart conditions.
    • The Research Institute of Cardiovascular Diseases has extensive experience with valve implantation procedures.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze the outcomes and indications for valvular prostheses implantation.
    • To evaluate the early postoperative lethality and associated interventions in a cohort of patients.

    Summary:

    • A total of 324 valves were implanted in 288 subjects between 1965 and 1979.
    • From 1977 to 1979, 132 patients received prostheses (71 mitral, 42 aortic, 19 double).
    • Immediate postoperative lethality was 22.8%, with 18 patients undergoing concomitant cardiac procedures.

    Impact:

    • The study contributes to understanding the potential and indications for valvular prostheses in mitral, aortic, and tricuspid heart disease.
    • Findings inform surgical strategies and patient selection for valve replacement therapies.
