| Popis: | We report three young Chinese male patients who underwent aortic valve replacement for severe aortic regurgitation of subacute onset, complicated by recurrent dehiscence of the aortic valve prosthesis, due to aortitis. One of the three patients underwent aortic valve replacement three times and progression of the prosthesis dehiscence was arrested with the use of corticosteroids. A review of the literature on the prognosis and treatment of aortoarteritis with particular reference to the management of recurrent valvular dehiscence is discussed. |
