Abstract
The Trifecta valve has been reported to have valve dysfunction months to years after operation. However there were no reports of intraoperative valve dysfunction. A 73-year-old man with aortic stenosis underwent aortic valve replacement using a 21-mm Trifecta valve with Glide Technology (Trifecta GT; Abbot). Hemodynamics were collapsed after aortic declamp because of severe regurgitation, and we replaced it with another biologic valve. We noticed that the removed valve's mount post was open outwardly more than usual. Despite the progress of the biologic valve, dysfunction like this case can occur during operation, and it is important to reoperate immediately even if there is no obvious tear or deformity.
