  • Title: Severe and early stenosis of porcine heterograft mitral valve.
    Author: Forfar JC, Cotter L, Morritt GN.
    Journal: Br Heart J; 1978 Oct; 40(10):1184-7. PubMed ID: 568477.
    Abstract:
    A patient who had aortic and mitral valves replaced by Carpentier porcine heterografts for bacterial endocarditis developed severe heart failure 18 days after operation. A second emergency operation revealed that the mitral prosthesis had become severely stenosed and calcified. A loud Graham Steell murmur had developed during the 12 hours before reoperation but no distinct murmurs of mitral stenosis had been detected.
