TI  - [Valve Re-replacement after Aortic Valve Replacement with Starr-Edwards Ball 
      Valve Forty-five Years Ago:Report of a Case].
PG  - 221-223
AB  - The patient was a 67-year-old man. At 22 years of age, he underwent aortic valve 
      replacement with Starr-Edwards ball valve. At 67 years of age, he complained of 
      fatigue of the New York Heart Association (NYHA) class Ⅲ condition. He was 
      diagnosed with mitral regurgitation, tricuspid regurgitation, ascending aortic 
      aneurysm and chronic atrial fibrillation. Transthoracic and transesophageal 
      echocardiograms showed a mobile, elongated echogenic mass attached to the valve 
      cage and floating downstream. We performed Bentall procedure, ascending aortic 
      replacement, mitral valve replacement, tricuspid annuloplasty and left atrial 
      appendage closure. Explanted ball valve showed extensive cloth destruction and 
      partial cloth tear. Mild pannus formation was observed beneath the valve. Despite 
      45 years after initial operation, significant valve dysfunction was not observed.
