“…This is the first case of leaflet fracture that we have observed in this prosthesis, and only the fourth such case published in the literature to date. One other reported failure involved the On-XMC 25/33, which has the conform sewing ring 2 ; the devices used in the other 2 cases (one in the aortic position 4 and the other in the mitral position 3 ) are not known.…”

“…Heart valvular disease is one of the most common diseases in adult cardiac surgery. 8 ) In China, a large number of patients with rheumatic heart disease undergo valve replacement every year, and most patients choose mechanical valves because of economic and cultural factors. Mechanical valves have the advantages of a long life, low incidence of structural valve failure, and definite clinical effect.…”

Objective: To evaluate the effect of music therapy on the chronic pain and midterm quality of life of patients after mechanical valve replacement. Methods: Patients were divided into two groups according to whether or not they received music therapy. The patients in the music group received 30 minutes of music therapy every day for 6 months after the operation. The patients in the control group received standard treatment and had 30 minutes of quiet rest time every day in the same period. The short-form of McGill Pain Questionnaire (SF-MPQ) was used to evaluate the degree of postoperative chronic pain, and the SF-36 was used to evaluate the midterm quality of life of patients. Results: In terms of the degree of postoperative chronic pain, the score of the pain rating index (PRI) emotional item in the music group was significantly lower than that in the control group. In the evaluation of the postoperative midterm quality of life using the SF-36, the emotional function score in the music group was significantly higher than that in the control group. Conclusion: This study preliminarily showed that music therapy can effectively reduce chronic pain and improve midterm quality of life after surgery.

“…2 Although older mechanical valves had a greater propensity of valve fracture and embolization, newer generation models can also be at risk for this complication, as seen by this report and others. [3][4][5][6] Patients presenting with acute mitral regurgitation will often be in cardiogenic shock. 7 The initial management should include stabilization of the hemodynamics to optimize end organ perfusion and appropriate intervention to correct the mitral regurgitation.…”
