Abstract

Spontaneous cusp degeneration is one of the most common long-term complications associated with porcine bioprosthetic valves (1-6). Recognition of its occurrence is essential for appropriate management to be instituted. In this report we have reviewed our echocardiographic experience with porcine bioprosthetic valve degeneration (7-8).
