Between 1976 and 1983, 435 patients underwent aortic valve replacement (AVR) with Bjork Shiley prostheses. Standard aortic Bjork Shiley prostheses (ABP) were used in 150 patients (Group I) and a reversed mitral Bjork Shiley prostheses in 285 (MBP in 250 and MBC in 35) patients (Group II). There was no significant difference in the number of the patients with valve calcification or the size of aortic root in the 2 groups. There was no significant difference in the early mortality in these two groups. The total follow up period in Group I was 912 years and 2130 years in Group II. The incidence of major aseptic prosthetic dehiscence and valve occlusion with tissue ingrowth were higher in Group I than in Group II. Reversed Bjork Shiley mitral valve prosthesis was successfully used in aortic position with reduced incidence of valve related complications.
