Brief Summary: Background- The Medtronic-Hall MH valve was developed and for the first time implanted in Oslo in 1977 A total of 1104 patients received this valve at Rikshospitalet-Radiumhospitalet HF in the period 1977-87 In the present study we followed all 816 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement AVR over a 25-year period
Detailed Description: The Medtronic-Hall MH tilting valve disk was first implanted in Oslo in June 1977 From 1977 through 1987 the valve was used as the only valve of choice and inserted in a total of 1104 consecutive patients at our department

The MH valve is made of a single piece of titanium with no welds The disk is made of tungsten impregnated graphite with a carbon pyrolytic coating The tungsten renders the disk radiopaque In the aortic position the maximal opening is 75 A central aperture in the disk allows free rotation The valve is rotatable in the sewing ring The sewing ring is made of Teflon Aortic sizes are 20-31 mm outer diameter

The initial clinical results were published in 1979 1 The cohort of patients has been followed-up and analysed at 5 10 and 15 years 2-5 In the present study we report our 25-year follow-up data for the 816 patients undergoing aortic valve replacement AVR with special reference to survival functional status valve-related complications and the impact of concomitant surgery
