"20/20" continues to combine hard-hitting, up to the minute investigative reports, news making interviews, compelling feature stories that pique human and societal interests which are very informative and beneficial. For over two decades the ABC "20/20" program has offered viewers reports and stories that have not only changed lives, but in the case of the BSCC Heart Valve, has also saved them.
It is estimated that over 1000 patients implanted with Bjork-Shiley Convexo/Concave mechanical heart valves have died due to fractures of the outlet struts of these valves. The Bjork-Shiley CC heart valve has been off the market since 1986. The Shiley company has been out of business since 1992.
This segment of the 20/20 program, which aired on January 1, 1987, was very informative and beneficial to the public, including Shiley heart valve implantees and their families..
As an illustration of normal valve function, this video shows a Shiley BSCC mechanical heart valve opening and closing in a phantom heart machine, which is of great importance to those who wish to learn how these valves normally function. Conversely, there are also interviews of people who describe how their lives have been affected by a fracture of their BSCC heart valve.
Our law firm can answer any questions that you or your family members may have after reviewing this very informative ABC 20/20 program regarding the Shiley BSCC mechanical heart valve. We can also provide you and your family members with updated current information and documents that we have
uncovered during the last 22 years since this ABC 20/20 program was aired for you to consider. We understand how these valves were manufactured and we understand the handwritten notations on the manufacturing records of each individual Shiley valve. This is based upon our prior experience in analyzing the manufacturing records of hundreds of these fractured BSCC valves and our interviews of over fifty (50) former Shiley employees and engineers who actually participated in their manufacture.
