Stanford A aortic dissection is one of the most devastating acute medical conditions due to its high morbidity and mortality. We describe a 77-year-old male patient with a medical history of surgical aortic valve replacement with a still functioning Starr-Edwards caged-ball valve 40 years prior. The patient was promptly diagnosed with an ascending aortic aneurysm and dissection, and an emergency Bentall procedure in deep hypothermic circulatory arrest was performed.

The deployment of a percutaneous aortic valve is challenging in patients with a mitral prosthesis. The risk of prosthetic deformation, embolization or dysfunction is higher in this group of patients, which requires a series of technical considerations. We report a successful implantation of an Evolut Pro # 29 self-expanding valve in a 67-year-old female with a previous Starr-Edwards caged-ball mitral prosthesis.

We report a unique case of a Starr-Edwards prosthesis (model 6310, cloth covered) implanted in the mitral position by Christian Barnard that was successfully explanted and replaced after 50 years, the longest period free from valve dysfunction ever reported. Reoperation also included replacement of the native aortic valve combined with tricuspid valve annuloplasty. ().

We report a case of ascending aortic aneurysm repair and redo aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis 44 years after aortic valve replacement with a Starr-Edwards metal caged-ball prosthesis. The patient presented with a moderately stenotic caged-ball valve and a 50-mm ascending aortic aneurysm on a routine follow-up transthoracic echocardiography. We replaced the valve with a bioprosthesis at the time of aortic repair as the patient wished to stop anticoagulation therapy.
