Abstract

The basic design of the Starr—Edwards ball valve prosthesis (Colour Plates G and H) has remained virtually unchanged since its introduction in 1960, although numerous modifications have been made (Table 4.1). The initial Starr—Edwards prostheses (model 1000 aortic, 6000 mitral) had a Stellite-21 cage (Figures 4.1 and 4.2), a compression-moulded Silastic (silicone rubber) poppet and a knitted Teflon (polytetrafluoroethylene) sewing ring. Stellite is an alloy composed of cobalt, chromium, molybdenum and nickel. Model 1000 had three feet in the orifice and a lot of metal on the inflow surface.
