Cinefluoroscopic identification of Björk-Shiley prosthetic heart valves / P. Montorsi, A. Repossini, A. L. Bartorelli. - In: EUROPEAN HEART JOURNAL. - ISSN 0195-668X. - 14:11(1993 Nov), pp. 1514-8-1518.
Abstract:
Numerous mechanical prostheses are currently utilized for heart valve replacement. Fluoroscopy is a useful technique to identify prosthetic valves, to evaluate their function and to follow-up the patients' condition. Scattered and contrasting data, however, have been reported about the radiographic appearance of Björk-Shiley heart valves. This study shows that each Björk-Shiley valve model has characteristic radiographic features that can be readily determined by fluoroscopic evaluation, leading to easy and accurate non-invasive identification.
