Long-term outcome after biologic versus mechanical aortic valve replacement in 841 patients

Abstract: For first-time, isolated aortic valve replacement, mechanical prostheses should be considered in patients under age 65 years with a life expectancy of at least 10 years. Bioprostheses should be considered in patients over age 65 years or with lung disease (in patients over age 60 years), renal disease, coronary disease, ejection fraction less than 40%, or a life expectancy less than 10 years.

“…11,12 Outcomes should improve progressively with recent gains in surgical methodology and prostheses. Hemodynamic profiles and event-free survival with current artificial mechanical prostheses have been impressive 13 ; increasing survival of newer bioprostheses 13,14 (15 to 20 event-free years now is common) enables use in progressively younger patients to minimize hemorrhagic and thromboembolic sequelae. Thus, operation in patients with congestive symptoms or exercise intolerance is well justified.…”

“…It has been widely implemented since it gives a good long term outcomes and low risk of perioperative mortality and morbidity. (1,2) There are two types of valve that are commonly used in aortic valve replacement, which are mechanical valve and bio prosthetic valve. (3,4) Mechanical valve is well known for its long term durability but the disadvantage of its use includes risk of thrombogenic event necessitating lifelong anticoagulant.…”

“…The aim of this study was to establish whether there are variables in the hospital phase that could influence the choice of prosthesis (apart from those that are clearly established and discussed in the literature regarding decision-making in advanced stages of diseases [7][8][9][10] patients contained all of the variables that the researchers intended to study. From the 200 consecutive patients receiving a valve replacement using bovine pericardial biological prostheses, which were included in the team's database, 20 patients were randomly selected.…”
