Review of the 74 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with a Starr–Edwards ball-valve prosthesis between October 1963 and December 1967 showed that 16 died during surgery or within the first month after operation, usually owing to myocardial failure; and there were nine late deaths. The remaining patients developed few major complications, and the long-term results of operation are considered satisfactory, no patient being grossly incapacitated and most of them are leading active…

Late results of aortic valve replacement with the Starr-Edwards prosthesis.
TLDR
Aortic regurgitation and its consequences appear to be the most significant factor leading to symptoms, and in 11 of 16 patients with anaemia there was evidence of intravascular haemolysis, the long-term consequence of this complication is not known.

Aortic Debridement‐Long-term Follow-up
TLDR
It is felt that operative debridement for aortic stenosis, when technically feasible, is a realistic approach to this disease state, and a significant period of palliation with limited morbidity is gained by the patient.

The mechanism of myocardial infarction following prosthetic aortic valve replacement.
TLDR
To prevent myocardial infarction in the postoperative period it is important to monitor these patients for arrhythmias and to prevent postoperative hypotension, and agents to prevent platelet thrombosis should be evaluated in these patients with a high risk of thrombus formation.
