Volume 74, Issue 5, Pages 579-581 (November 1978) Idiopathic Perforation of a Porcine Aortic Bioprosthesis in the Aortic Position Winston N. Bloch, M.D., Zeynel Karcioglu, M.D., Joel M. Felner, M.D., James S. Miller, M.D., Panagiotis N. Symbas, M.D., F.C.C.P., Robert C.

Figure 1 (A, upper). Linear tear paralleling free margin of largest porcine leaflet. Hole produced by tear appears as triangular space in central upper part of picture of aortic side of valve. Cotton ball holds valve open, while paper triangle holds torn leaflet open. (B) Three fenestrations in one porcine leaflet, as seen at oblique angle from left ventricular side of bioprosthesis. Size of fenestrations progressively decreases from central fenestration to one near commissure. Smallest fenestration is continuous with linear tear, which extends to leaflet margin where it is adjacent to one end of linear tear in opposite (largest) leaflet. Note absence of valvular vegetations. CHEST 1978 74, 579-581DOI: (10.1378/chest.74.5.579) Copyright © 1978 The American College of Chest Physicians Terms and Conditions

Figure 3 Electron microscopic picture of body of cusp of failed xenograft valve. There are irregular, electron dense deposits of degenerating collagen (DC) interspersed between intact collagen fibrils (C). V=vacuoles (×5050).

Figure 4 Electron microscopic picture of failed xenograft cusp tissue adjacent to one perforation. Vacuoles (V) of heterogeneous size scattered among collagen fibrils (C) indicate tissue disruption. IE=irregular edge of cusp perforation. L=lumen of perforation (×3640).
