Abstract:
A 71-year-old woman underwent mitral valve replacement with Carpentier-Edwards Pericardial Xenograft for mitral regurgitation on January 8, 1987. She had nocturnal hematuria and paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria was diagnosed in November, 1992. She had congestive heart failure in February, 1993. Cineradiographical analysis revealed a fracture of the wireform in three locations of the Xenograft and the stent was distorted inward. A second mitral valve replacement was successfully performed on March 16, 1993. She was discharged 45 days after operation after an uneventful course.
