Primary tissue failure in pericardial heart valves

DJ Wheatley, J Fisher, IJ Reece, T Spyt and P Breeze

A number of centers have recorded a significant incidence of primary tissue failure with the standard Ionescu-Shiley pericardial valve. In most cases severe regurgitation was caused by leaflet tears adjacent to the edge of the cloth-covered stent. Our early clinical experience (up to 4 years' follow-up) with two new pericardial valves (Ionescu-Shiley low-profile and Hancock pericardial valves) has shown that primary tissue failure also occurs in these new valves. In vitro accelerated fatigue studies on seven of these valves (size 29 mm) showed that in vitro premature leaflet failure was caused by abrasion of the leaflet on the cloth-covering at the edge of the stent. Clinically, endothelialization and host tissue ingrowth on the cloth and the leaflets at the edge of the frame greatly reduced the amount of abrasion and the incidence of tissue failure. In seven of the eight explanted valves studied, leaflet tears occurred at the top of the stent posts where there was less endothelialization and tissue ingrowth, close to the points where sutures pass through the leaflets. It is likely that both abrasion and stress concentration around these sutures contributed to the tissue failures in the clinical valves.
