  • Title: Replacement of mitral, aortic, and pulmonary valves for rheumatic heart disease.
    Author: Hilgenberg AD.
    Journal: J Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1979 Feb; 77(2):297-300. PubMed ID: 762971.
    Abstract:
    Rheumatic disease of the pulmonary valve has been documented at autopsy. Most of the reported cases of calcified pulmonary valves are associated with congenital heart disease. A unique case of rheumatic aortic and mitral valve disease associated with calcific pulmonary stenosis is presented. Prosthetic replacement of all three involved valves was carried out successfully. This is believed to be the first reported triple valve replacement of its kind.
