Duri ng development,
the aortic valve is formed from three tubercles, which each develop a cusp and
sinus of Valsalva. Fusion of the cusps results in a unicuspid valve. Unicommissural
unicuspid valves, as in our case, have one lateral attachment and an eccentric orice.
Acommissural unicuspid valves have no lateral attachment to the aorta.

Among patients undergoing cardiac valve replacement, the aortic valve is most
commonly replaced, the mitral valve next, and, infrequently, both the mitral and
aortic valves. When the latter situation occurs and when the substitute valves
inserted are both bioprostheses, it is possible to compare the rates of degenerative
change because one bioprosthesis serves as a control for the other. In 1983, Warnes
and associates

reported on 5 patients with porcine bioprostheses in both the mitral
and aortic valve positions from 18 to 107 months, and in each of the 4 patients in
which the bioprosthesis was in place for greater than 18 months, the quantity of
calcic deposits on the cusps of the bioprosthesis in the mitral valve position was
much greater than that on the prosthesis in the aortic valve position. The present
report was prompted by observing a patient who had a bovine parietal pericardial
bioprosthesis in both the mitral and aortic positions explanted after they had been
in place for 77 months; the quantity of calcium in the bioprosthesis in the aortic
valve position was massive, and that in the bioprosthesis in the mitral position was
minimal.
CLINICAL SUMMARY
A patient, who was born on March25, 1949, had acute rheumatic fever in childhood
and hypothyroidism since age 20 years. She was in her usual good health until
April2001 (age 52years), when exertional dyspnea appeared, and it soon progressed
to orthopnea, which prompted hospital admission. Echocardiographic and cardiac
catheterization data are shown in Table 1. Electrocardiographic analysis disclosed
sinus rhythm.
On May 22, 2001, both the mitral and aortic valves were replaced with
Carpentier Edwards pericardial bovine bioprostheses treated with the XenoLogix

tissue treatment process (Edwards LifeSciences, Irvine, Calif), which removes
approximately 98% of phospholipids, which are calcium-binding sites. The excised
anterior mitral leaet weighed 0.77 g, and the 3-cuspid aortic valve weighed 0.74 g
(Figure1, A and B). Both valves were free of calcium.
The patient was thereafter well until April2002, when a febrile illness developed.
Streptococcus sanguis was cultured from the blood. She was treated with antibiotics,
and her usual health returned. Vegetations were never observed on either
bioprosthesis by means of echocardiographic analysis. Another echocardiogram in
March2003 disclosed stenosis of the bioprosthesis in the aortic valve position.
She continued to be well until August2007, when exertional dyspnea recurred,
and within 3 weeks, she was essentially bedridden. She was rehospitalized on
September24, 2007, and re peat cardiac catheteriz ation (Ta b le 1) and echoca rdiographic
analysis showed mild bioprosthetic mitral regurgitation and nearly nonmovable
bioprosthetic cusps in the aortic valve position. The bioprosthesis in the aortic valve
position could not be crossed at cardiac catheterization. The coronary arteries were
normal on angiographic analysis.
On October 12, 2007, both bioprostheses were replaced with mechanical
prostheses, and a tricuspid valve annuloplasty was performed. At the time of
the operation, a small paravalvular leak was seen in the mitral position. The
bioprosthesis in the mitral position (no. 25) weighed 4.04 g, and the bioprosthesis
in the aortic position (no. 21) weighed 3.86 g (Figure1, C and D). Radiographs of
the operatively excised bioprostheses showed huge calcic deposits in the aortic
prosthesis and small deposits in the mitral prosthesis (Figure2). Her postoperative
course was relatively uneventful. As of November 2008, she is active, and her
activities are not limited. By means of echocardiographic analysis, her pulmonary
arterial systolic pressure had decreased to 34mm Hg, and left ventricular ejection
fraction had increased to 55%. There was only trace tricuspid valve regurgitation.
DISCUSSION
The patient described had parieta l pericardial bovine bioprosthe ses in both the mitral
and aortic valve positions for 77 months and during that period developed huge
quantities of calcium on the cusps of the bioprosthesis in the aortic valve position
and only small quantities of calcium on the cusps of the bioprosthesis in the mitral
valve position. Because the closing pressure on the mitral bioprosthesis is usually
about a third higher than that on the aortic bioprosthesis (peak left ventricular
systolic pressure vs end-diastolic aortic pressure; normally approximately 120 vs
80 mm Hg), it might be expected that the degeneration of a bioprosthesis in the
233

mitral position would be greater (more calcium and more tears) and more rapid than
that of a bioprosthesis in the aortic position, but the opposite was the case in the
patient described herein. Why might that be the case? Some possibilities include the
following:
1. Parietal pericardial bovine bioprostheses are not the same as porcine aortic
valve bioprostheses. The former are thicker and less exible and possibly withstand the left ventricular peak systolic pressure and the aortic end-diastolic
pressure more easily than the more delicate porcine aortic cusps.
2. The bovine bioprosthesis in the aortic position was defective and not properly
prepared, whereas the one in the mitral position was not.
3. The febrile illness the patient had beginning 11 months after the initial cardiac operation could have been active infective endocarditis that affected
the bioprosthesis in the aortic position but not the bioprosthesis in the mitral
position.
4. Smaller bovine parietal pericardial bioprostheses calcify more rapidly and
more extensively than do larger bovine pericardial bioprostheses.
5. The paravalvular leak in the mitral position and the absence of a leak in the
aortic position provided a ‘‘bypass shunt,’’ diminishing the effect of the full
force of the peak left ventricular systolic pressure on the bioprosthetic cusps
in the mitral position.
None of these 5 possibilities can be proved or disproved, but this report might
stimulate careful follow-up of similar patients to determine whether this distribution
of calcium in the 2 left-sided bioprostheses is a pattern or an exception.

Case 1506 Combined Mitral and Aortic
Stenosis of Rheumatic Origin with DoubleValve Replacement in an Octogenarian

Replacement of both mitral and aortic valves in octogenarians is infrequent
especially for combined mitral stenosis (MS) and aortic stenosis (AS) of rheumatic
etiology. Such was the case, however, in the patient to be described herein.
An 81-year-old woman, who was born on 23 September 1925, had increasing
dyspnea for several years because of what was believed to be “pulmonary brosis,”
worse in the lower lobes than the upper lobes. In December2004, she was placed
on home oxygen, and in January2005, on continuous oxygen by nasal cannula. She
had never smoked and had no history of acute rheumatic fever. Because of rather
dramatic worsening of her dyspnea, she was hospitalized at Baylor University
Medical Center on 1 May 2007. Her body mass index was 20 kg/m
2
. Precordial
examination disclosed an apical diastolic murmur and a basal ejection type systolic
murmur. Electrocardiogram disclosed prolonged P-R interval and increased voltage
compatible with left ventricular hypertrophy. Telemetric monitoring disclosed runs
of atrial brillation.
Cardiac catheterization disclosed the following pressures in mm Hg: pulmonary
artery wedge a-wave 21, v-wave 34, and mean 22; pulmonary artery, 68/26 (mean 39);
left ventricle, 129/21 and aorta, 113/46; pulmonary arterial wedge—left ventricular
mean diastolic gradient 8, and simultaneous left ventricular-aortic peak systolic
gradient, 16. Cardiac index was 2.2 L/min/m
0.8 and the aortic valve area, 0.7cm
2
. Angiography disclosed insignicant coronary

. The calculated mitral valve area was
arterial narrowing.
On 4 May2007, both left-sided cardiac valves (Figure1) were replaced with St.
Jude Medical prostheses: mitral #29, and aortic #19. The postoperative course was
relatively smooth. The pulmonary arterial pressure fell dramatically, and she was
discharged to the Baylor Specialty Hospital on 14 May2007 where she remained for
17 days.
Thereafter, she did well until about 1 January 2008, when she noted pedal
edema which progressed to anasarca and a weight gain from 112 to 148 lb. She
was rehospitalized on 4 February2008. The blood hemoglobin was 9.8 g/L and the

infective endocarditis limited to 1 or both right-sided cardiac valves. Tricuspid valve regurgitation was present in many patients in most of the 9 functional groups. All patients were in
functional class III or IV (New York Heart Association), and more than half had 1 or more
cardiac operations.

much better. She was now in persistent atrial brillation. As of October2008, she
was doing well.
Although now infrequent in the Western world, combined MS and AS of
rheumatic origin was relatively common when acute rheumatic fever was far more
prevalent. Roberts

collected 1010 cases at autopsy of valvular heart disease studied
from approximately 1955 to 1980: isolated AS (with or without regurgitation) was the
most frequent valve lesion (29%); isolated MS (with or without mitral regurgitation)
was next (19%), and combined MSand AS was in third place (15%) (Table1). None of
the patients with combined MSand AS, however, was > 80years of age. In the last 3
decades, combined MSand AS of rheumatic etiology was infrequent in the Western
world.
Combined MSand AS is particularly rare in octogenarians. Uricchio etal.
1959 reported 141 patients with combined MSand AS, all of whom had undergone
both mitral and aortic commissurotomy: their ages ranged from 23 to 67 years.

can mask the presence of
AS. If the AS is missed in this circumstance and mitral valve commissurotomy or
replacement is performed and the downstream AS is neglected dire consequences
can ensue. Obviously, it is best to diagnose both MSand AS preoperatively, but if
one lesion is to be missed, it is far better to missthe upstream problem (MS) than the
downstream problem (AS).
And nally, combined MS and AS can produce an operative challenge. First,
the patients are most commonly women, some of whom, as in the present patient,
are of small stature and, consequently, have relatively small hearts.
8
In combined
MSand AS, neither the left ventricular cavity nor the ascending aorta is dilated, a
circumstance which provides less space for either the mitral or the aortic mechanical
prosthesis or bioprosthesis compared to the space provided in patients with isolated
AS who often have congenitally bicuspid aortic valves and dilated ascending aortas.
