  • Title: Aortic valve replacement in rheumatoid aortic incompetence.
    Author: Bortolotti U, Gallucci V, Russo R, Glorioso S, Schivazappa L, Thiene G.
    Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1981 Feb; 29(1):62-3. PubMed ID: 6164122.
    Abstract:
    Cardiac valvular involvement in patients with rheumatoid arthritis is rare and seldom so severe as to require surgery. The present report is concerned with a case of rheumatoid aortic incompetence successfully treated by prosthetic valve replacement. As suggested by previous similar reports, surgery is the most effective therapy for clinically significant rheumatoid endocarditis.
