摘要
Three patients demonstrated severe, central aortic insufficiency noted immediately upon removal of the aortic cross clamp after aortic valve replacement with a bovine pericardial Edwards Magna valve. After maintaining left ventricular decompression, the aortic insufficiency resolved in less than 1 hour. Knowledge of this phenomenon will prevent unnecessary prosthetic valve explantation and re-replacement. (Ann Thorac Surg 2009; 88: 672-4) (C) 2009 by The Society of Thoracic Surgeons
