The esti mated incidence of unicu spid aortic valve is 0.02%.

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 orice. 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 calcic 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 March25, 1949, had acute rheumatic fever in childhood and hypothyroidism since age 20 years. She was in her usual good health until April2001 (age 52years), 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

tissue treatment process (Edwards LifeSciences, Irvine, Calif), which removes approximately 98% of phospholipids, which are calcium-binding sites. The excised anterior mitral leaet weighed 0.77 g, and the 3-cuspid aortic valve weighed 0.74 g (Figure1, A and B). Both valves were free of calcium.
The patient was thereafter well until April2002, 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 March2003 disclosed stenosis of the bioprosthesis in the aortic valve position.
She continued to be well until August2007, when exertional dyspnea recurred, and within 3 weeks, she was essentially bedridden. She was rehospitalized on September24, 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 (Figure1, C and D). Radiographs of the operatively excised bioprostheses showed huge calcic deposits in the aortic prosthesis and small deposits in the mitral prosthesis (Figure2). 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 34mm 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.

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 December2004, she was placed on home oxygen, and in January2005, 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

. 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.

On 4 May2007, both left-sided cardiac valves (Figure1) 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 May2007 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 February2008. The blood hemoglobin was 9.8 g/L and the

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 MSand AS was in third place (15%) (Table1). None of the patients with combined MSand AS, however, was > 80years of age. In the last 3 decades, combined MSand AS of rheumatic etiology was infrequent in the Western world.
Combined MSand AS is particularly rare in octogenarians. Uricchio etal. 1959 reported 141 patients with combined MSand 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 MSand AS preoperatively, but if one lesion is to be missed, it is far better to missthe 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 MSand 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.
