The prosthetic valves studied were the Beall caged-disc valve, Björk-Shiley tilting disc valve, Medtronic-Hall tilting disc valve, and St. Jude bileaflet valve. The results indicate that all four prosthetic valve designs studied create very disturbed flow fields, with elevated turbulent shear stresses and regions of flow separation and/or stagnation. The maximum turbulent shear stresses measured were 1900 dynes/cm2 for the Beall valve, 380 dynes/cm2 for the Björk-Shiley valve, 1800 dynes/cm2 for the Medtronic-Hall valve, and 770 dynes/cm2 for the St. Jude valve. These elevated turbulent shear stresses could cause sublethal and/or lethal damage to red cells and platelets. The regions of flow separation and/or stagnation could lead to thrombus formation and/or tissue overgrowth on the valve structure, as observed on clinically recovered prosthetic valves.</p>","PeriodicalId":77869,"journal":{"name":"Life support systems : the journal of the European Society for Artificial Organs","volume":"4 2","pages":"115-39"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14078533","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In a population of 480 patients who underwent AVR in the period from June 1977 to January 1983, with a mean follow-up time of 2.8 years, 16 preoperative variables were considered. From this pool of variables, six entered the regression model in a time-independent mode. These were age at operation, sex, preoperative NYHA classification, presence of AI, presence of endocarditis and presence of atrial fibrillation on ECG, none of which entered the model in the time-related mode. Another multifactorial approach, using a stepwise regression analysis to examine primary predictive factors that independently correlate with survival, while simultaneously accounting for the other previous variables, showed that the variables with additive prognostic value were age at operation, presence of AI and presence of endocarditis. Based on this model, a forecast five-year survival rate ranging from 88 to 14 per cent was found at the end of the fifth year. For the most favourable and the worst combinations of these prognostic variables, a patient-specific forecast five-year survival rate was drawn up. Our results were compared, using univariate and multivariate methods, with the results found in the literature, and the implications of this comparison were discussed.</p>","PeriodicalId":77869,"journal":{"name":"Life support systems : the journal of the European Society for Artificial Organs","volume":"4 2","pages":"103-13"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1986-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"14867253","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
