“…The cohorts have involved patients in Sweden, 11 several European countries and Canada, 12 the Netherlands, [13][14][15] the United Kingdom, 8 and the United States. 5 In addition, cohorts of Canadian, 16 German, 17 Norwegian, 18 Italian, 19 Swiss, 20 and Japanese 21 BSCC patients have also been identified, but the numbers of patients and of OSFs in these studies individually and collectively have been small.…”

“…6 The major patient characteristic thus far identified as a risk factor for OSF is the age of the patient (in some studies, age at implantation was the variable assessed). 5,6,13,22 The risk of OSF decreases by Ϸ5% with each increasing year of age. The trend in risk with the current age of the patient is shown in Table 3 with data from the Dutch/UK/US combined cohorts, for which Ͻ3% of the fractures occurred among persons aged 65 and older at the time of the OSF.…”

“…To this end, we use the one-dimensional Green's function that can be expressed as the solution of the inhomogeneous second-order differential equation (2) with , which satisfies the radiation condition as . This solution is given by (3) Extracting the behavior of the term for in (1) and substituting the proper value of then results in (4) where denotes the wave admittance of the medium surrounding the wire. The yet unknown signals and represent two independent homogeneous solutions of the differential equation (2).…”

“…In the U.S., between 30 000 and 40 000 patients use such a device. An epidemiological study in 1992 [1] found 42 strut fractures during mean follow-up of 6.6 years, while a nondestructive evaluation of 24 representative explanted valves [2] showed single-leg fractures in seven and fatigue changes in two of them. Fig.…”

“…1 Epidemiological studies have been successful in determining individual risk factors for valve fracture, long-term survival, and operative mortality. [2][3][4][5] Great efforts have been made to achieve adherence to the published decision guidelines in the Netherlands. In 1992, the Dutch BScc Follow-up Study, a retrospective cohort study, identified 4 risk factors for outlet strut fracture that were relatively easy to determine in the BScc patient: opening angle, valve size, mitral position, and young age.…”
