| Popis: | Obstruction of a Bjork-Shiley mitral valve prosthesis occurred in a 41 year old woman due to pannus tissue growing over the valve and impairing disc opening. The unusual intermittent nature of the obstruction was clearly demonstrated by Doppler ultrasound. The pannus was excised and the valve prosthesis replaced successfully with a Carpentier-Edwards xenograft. |
