  • Title: Early calcification and obstruction of a mitral porcine bioprosthesis.
    Author: Lewis BS, Bakst A, Rod JL, Rein A, Gotsman MS, Appelbaum A.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 1980 Dec; 30(6):592-4. PubMed ID: 7469580.
    Abstract:
    A patient is described in whom severe prosthetic valvular stenosis developed ten months after mitral valve replacement with an Angell-Shiley porcine heterograft. At emergency operation, calcification of the prosthesis was revealed. Early calcification and stenosis of a porcine heterograft valve is a life-threatening complication that must be recognized promptly and treated by emergency valve replacement.
