May support short-term use of Björk-Shiley valve in aortic replacement; hypothesis-generating and should not change practice without controlled trials.
Does aortic valve replacement with the Björk-Shiley tilting disc valve prosthesis improve clinical outcomes and demonstrate safety in patients requiring single aortic valve replacement?
The Björk-Shiley tilting disc valve prosthesis provides clinical and objective improvement in patients undergoing aortic valve replacement with acceptable short-term complication rates.
Larmi et al. (1975) studied this question.
