SUMMARY The long‐term thromboembolic risk (TER) was estimated in a series of 1096 prosthesis carriers reviewed by the same group between 1963 and 1980, and in which the following points were particularly studied: the 376 first subjects operated upon with a mean follow‐up of 6 + 3 years, involving all types of prostheses, but more particularly Starr‐Edwards 1260 and 6120 valves. selected groups of patients: 60 aortic B jørk valves, 50 aortic xenografts, 18 late thromboses of surgical or anatomic valves.
