Total prosthetic replacement of atrioventricular valves in the dog

Part II. Development of tilting cone mitral prosthesis

Abstract

The free-floating cone and cage valve, described in a previous study as being successful as a substitute for the right atrioventricular valve, does not perform well when it is inserted in the mitral ostium. A tilting cone or disc was constructed and tested in a series of 15 dogs. This prosthesis gave excellent results in 12 animals. The reasons for its failure in the remaining three is discussed. The prosthesis presented has advantages over any ball and cage valve, mainly because of its smaller volume.
