Sixteen cases of cardiac valve replacements have been done in this department since 1970. Twelve cases of mitral valve replacement were done with Beall valve, 2 cases of aortic valve replacement with Starr-Edwards and Magoven valve and 2 cases of double valve replacement using Beall valve for mitral and Magovern valve for aortic. Three patients [18.8%] died during operation. Two cases [12.5%] of hospital mortality occurred because of congestive heart failure and asphyxia due to tracheomalacia 3 months after operation. Follow-up studies from two to 27 months showed excellent results except three cases of late mortality [18.8 % ]. Thromboembolism occurred in two double valve replacement patients[12.5%]who were fatal.[KTCS 1975;1:89-100]
