Background:After their insertion, prosthetic valves—either mechanical or biological—have some drawbacks. There are many challenging events that lead to dysfunction of prothesis, such as formation of a thrombus or pannus, para-valvular leakage, and developing cardiac infections after the prosthesis, like endocarditis. Objective:to assess factors that are responsible for malfunction of prosthetic cardiac valves;in addition, assessment of post-operative mortality and morbidity of those patients. Patient and methods:In this prospective study, we followed up the early results of surgical intervention in 40 patients with malfunction prosthetic cardiac valves at the Cardiothoracic Surgery Department, El-Hussien Hospital, Al-Azhar University;the follow-up timespan was from March 2019 …
