Abstract
We treated a 61-year-old Japanese man with a strut fracture of the new Björk-Shiley mitral valve. This fracture occurred about two months after mitral valve replacement. Emergency reoperation was performed as soon as the chest X-ray showed the fracture, despite the presence of cardiopulmonary shock. He died on the 3rd postoperative day. Similar reported cases of literature are reviewed.Entities:
