Long-term evaluation of patients undergoing combined mitral and aortic valve replacement (MVR + AVR) with a porcine bioprosthesis provides the opportunity for a direct comparison of the durability of the mitral versus the aortic porcine bioprosthesis in the same patient. From 1970 to 1983, 71 patients underwent MVR + AVR with Hancock porcine bioprostheses. There were 46 men an 25 women ranging in age from 21 to 64 years (mean, 47.5 +/- 5 years). Sixteen patients (22.5%) died at operation. The survivors were followed from 0.2 to 11.5 years (mean, 5.7 +/- 3 years). Duration of follow-up was 313 patient-years and was 100% complete. Overall late mortality was 6.7 +/- 1.4% per patient-year (linearized incidence), and actuarial survival was 54.2 +/- 8% at 11 years. Endocarditis occurred in 4 patients (linearized incidence of 1.3 +/- 0.6% per patient-year); thromboembolic events were sustained by 4 patients (linearized incidence of 1.3 +/- 0.6% per patient-year); the event was fatal in 1 patient. Actuarial freedom from thromboembolism was 90 +/- 4.8% at 11 years. Reoperation for primary tissue failure was performed in 11 patients (linearized incidence of 3.5 +/- 1% per patient-year) with no deaths; in 7 patients both bioprostheses were explanted, and in 4, only the mitral bioprosthesis was replaced. The durability of explanted aortic and mitral porcine bioprostheses was not significantly different, and the evaluation of seven pairs of explanted aortic and mitral bioprostheses showed similar amounts of calcification. Actuarial freedom from reoperation because of primary tissue failure was 44.6 +/- 13.7% at 11 years.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
