Abstract
Strut fracture in a De Bakey aortic valve is reported. The theoretical disadvantage of a Pyrolite carbon--coated ball and titanium struts is mentioned. Periodic cinefluoroscopy is recommended in all patients with a De Bakey aortic valve to avoid the complications associated with strut wear or fracture.Entities:
