title: Reflections on the 24 years durability of an isolate tricuspid bovine pericardium IMC/Braile bioprosthesis.
abstract: We were challenged by the experience of one patient reoperation for a bioprosthetic bovine pericardium degenerative stenosis, 24 years after implantation. This bioprosthesis was implanted due to tricuspid valve bacterial staphylococcal endocarditis after septic abortion.
