BACKGROUND The "click" sound of mechanical heart valve prostheses has been recognized as a disturbing factor for some patients… Expand

The in vitro velocity and turbulent shear stress fields created by three new mechanical valve designs (size 27 mm) were studied… Expand

Twenty-three Ionescu-Shiley standard bovine pericardial bioprostheses (15 aortic, seven mitral, and one tricuspid) removed at… Expand

A number of centers have recorded a significant incidence of primary tissue failure with the standard Ionescu-Shiley pericardial… Expand

From August 1977 to June 1981, 221 patients received a Hancock porcine valve and 133 an Ionescu-Shiley bovine (I-S) pericardial… Expand
