    Author: Zussa C, Zattera G, Galloni M, Pansini S, del Ponte S, Ottino GM, Morea M.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1985 Oct; 33(5):324-5. PubMed ID: 2416093.
    Abstract:
    Two cases of preoperatively unsuspected porcine bioprosthetic endocarditis are presented. Both cases, thought to be a sterile thrombosis and a primary tissue failure respectively, were correctly diagnosed only with histological examination. Cultures and histological examination of the explanted tissue are necessary for a definite diagnosis in every case of prosthetic malfunction.
