Abstract: | Background This study was aimed to evaluate the merit in clinical and hemodynamic performance of two commonly used tilting disc heart valve prostheses at our center. Methods Between October 1994 and December 1997, 100 patients who received either Sorin Biomedica (n=50; group I) or Medtronic Hall (N=50; group II) 27 size mitral valve prostheses were included in the study. The two groups were similar with respect to age, sex, body surface area, preoperative rhythm, NYHA class, hemodynamic and operative parameters. Results The overall early mortality in the entire series was 5.0%. It was not significantly different in the two groups. A cumulative follow-up of 99.83 patient year for group I and 123.83 patient year for group II, revealed late mortality of 6.23% and 6.38% respectively. The valve related events, acturial survival and echocardiographic assessment of trans-valvular gradient demonstrated no significant difference between the two groups. Conclusions The results of this study 4 years following implantation indicate that the clinical and hemodynamic performance of 27 size Sorin Biomedica and Medtronic Hall were similar. Both the tilting prostheses were in conformity with small mitral annulus particularly in stenotic lesion and in those who had smaller body surface area. The choice of either prostheses entirely depended upon the surgeon’s preference which was linked to other factors such as experience, ease of insertion, availability and cost.
