Implication

Requires heightened vigilance during low-profile valve implantation; leaves open need for prospective validation versus contemporary prostheses.

Structured PICO

P
Population
Patients undergoing implantation of low profile heart valves (specifically the Medtronic Hall Heart Valve)
I
Intervention
Precautionary surgical measures to avoid disc interference
O
Outcome
Disc interference or immobilization of the occludersafety

Special surgical care is required when implanting low profile valves like the Medtronic Hall Heart Valve to prevent disc immobilization by suture ends or intracardiac structures.

Cite This Study

Karl Victor Hall (1988) conducted a review in Heart valve replacement. Medtronic Hall Heart Valve implantation was evaluated on Disc interference or immobilization. Careful surgical techniques during the implantation of low profile valves like the Medtronic Hall Heart Valve are necessary to minimize the risk of disc immobilization.
