  • Title: [Conduction abnormalities after single heart valve replacement (author's transl)].
    Author: Acar J, Brodaty D, Fournial JF, Terreau Y, Chomette G, Cabrol C.
    Journal: Ann Med Interne (Paris); 1979; 130(4):197-203. PubMed ID: 475206.
    Abstract:
    A total of 300 patients were operated upon for heart valve disease by the same surgeon. The affected valve was the aortic in 200 cases and the mitral in the other 100 patients. The tricuspid valve, coronary arteries, and myocardium were not involved. This report attempts to define the frequency progression, prognosis, and significance of conduction abnormalities which appear during the course of this operation. In 35 cases, of which 16 were post-operative deaths, a histological examination of the conduction pathways was possible. The conclusions to be drawn from these observations are: Conduction abnormalities after single aortic or mitral valve replacement are frequent (1 out of 3 patients).
