Objective To observe the midterm haemodynamic manifestation of the home made C-L pugestrut tilting disc mechanical valve in aortic valve replacement, and to evaluate its function. Methods Twenty patients underwent aortic valve replacement over 5 years were collected and divided into two groups, the C-L pugestrut group （n=10）：aortic valve was replaced by home-made C-L pugestrut tilting disc mechanical valve（21mm）; Medtronic-Hall group （n=10）：aortic valve was replaced by Medtronic-Hall mechanical valve （21mm）. The peak transprosthetic gradients （△P）, mean transprosthetic gradients （△Pm）and effective orifice area（EOA） at rest were compared between two groups. Results At rest, △P of the C-L pugestrut group and Medtronic-Hall group were 11.63±3.23mmHg vs. 9. 78±3. 35mmHg; △Pm of the C-L pugestrut group and Medtronic-Hall group were 6. 25±2. 32 mmHg vs. 5.85±2.32mmHg： EOA of the C-L pugestrut group and Medtronic-Hall group were 1.07±0.17 cm2 vs. 1.25±0.27 cm2. There was no statistically significance in △P, △Pm and EOA between two groups（P〉0.05）. Conclusions The midterm haemodynamic results of the home-made C-L pugestrut tilting disc mechanical valve show that it has comparable haemodynamic results to those of Medtronic-Hall mechanical valve ,and it has well-done function. The home-made C-L pugestrut valve is one of the reliable mechanical heart valves.
