Key result

Surgical replacement of a defective ball in a Starr-Edwards prosthetic aortic valve successfully treated a 40-year-old woman presenting with anemia and embolic episodes due to ball variance.

Implication

Embolic anemia in Starr-Edwards aortic valve patients may signal ball variance; case report leaves open need for validated diagnostic criteria.

Study Design

Type

Case Report (n=1)

Structured PICO

Population

A 40-year-old woman who developed anemia and embolic episodes 26 months after implantation of an 8 AT Starr-Edwards prosthetic aortic valve.

Intervention

Surgical exploration and replacement of the defective ball of the prosthetic aortic valve

Outcome

Successful replacement of the defective ball and identification of ball variance

Embolic complications and anemia in patients with small prosthetic aortic valves may indicate ball variance, necessitating surgical exploration and replacement.

Bertrand Y. Scalabrini (1968) conducted a case report in Defective ball of a prosthetic aortic valve (ball variance) (n=1). Replacement of defective ball of a prosthetic aortic valve was evaluated. Surgical replacement of a defective ball in a Starr-Edwards prosthetic aortic valve successfully treated a 40-year-old woman presenting with anemia and embolic episodes due to ball variance.
