The St. Jude Medical Prosthetic Heart Valve: Results from a Five-Year Multicenter Experience

  • Conference paper
Update in Heart Valve Replacement

Abstract

During the past quarter-century, hundreds of new and novel designs for prosthetic heart valves have been described. The majority of these have been introduced into clinical usage with great enthusiasm. A few, perhaps ten or less, have withstood the test of time, and in looking back, can be judged as milestones in the development of valve replacement therapy. The great majority of designs that failed were unable to pass the test of time which exposed substantial or even fatal flaws.
