Abstract:
A 58 year old woman underwent re-replacement of a Cross-Jones caged-lens mitral prosthesis 23 years after the first operation. She represented one of the 38 patients who received 42 Cross-Jones prostheses two decades earlier. Continued adequate performance for more than two decades in five patients bears a surprising testimony to the longevity of this historic low profile prosthesis.
