  • Title: Insufficiency of an aortic valve prosthesis due to tissue ingrowth: a case report.
    Author: Christiansen S, Fehske W, Autschbach R.
    Journal: Heart Surg Forum; 2007; 10(2):E105-6. PubMed ID: 17597030.
    Abstract:
    Tissue ingrowth of a prosthetic heart valve usually leads to a stenosis. We report a rare case of a patient with a fixation of the prosthetic leaflet due to tissue ingrowth. This state caused a total prosthetic insufficiency. The therapy used to treat this prosthetic heart valve with tissue ingrowth is discussed in this report.
