title: Fate of Hancock valve in tricuspid position 36 years after implantation.
abstract: Mid- to long-term durability of bioprosthesis in tricuspid position is acceptable. However, little is known about more extended long-term structural valve changes of Hancock valve. In present report, we describe Hancock valve images 36 years after implantation.
