Prior to surgery, the surgeon and patient must make a choice as to whether a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve should be inserted. A bioprosthetic valve may be a better choice in an older individual who is at risk of bleeding and whose life expectancy is less than that of the valve (10-15 years).

†Risk factors for thromboembolism include atrial fibrillation, hypercoagulable conditions, left ventricle dysfunction, and previous thromboembolism.

Advanatges of A Mechanical Valve

Mechanical valves are made of man-made (synthetic) materials, such as a metal like titanium. Mechanical heart valves do not fail often. They last from 12 to 20 years[2][3]. However, blood clots develop on them. If a blood clot forms, the patient may have a stroke. Anticoagulation with warfarin will be required which can be associated with bleeding.

Advantages of A Bioprosthetic Valve

Bioprosthetic valves are made of human or animal tissue.Biological valves do not require anticoagulation, but they tend to fail over time [4][3]. Patients with a biological valve may need to have the valve replaced in 10 to 15 years.

Selecting A Mechanical Verssus a Bioprosthetic Valve

The 2006 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) recommendations for the choice of aortic valve [5][6]:

  • If the patient is under 65 years of age and does not have a contraindication to anticoagulation then a mechanical valve is preferred.
  • If the patient is ≥65 years of age and does not have risk factors for thromboembolism, then a bioprosthetic valve is reasonable
  • If the patient already has a mechanical valve in the mitral or tricuspid position and already requires anticoagulation, then a mechical valve is preferred
  • If the patient has active prosthetic valve endocarditis, then the valve should be replaced
  • If the patient has contraindications to anticoagulation therapy regardless his or her age, then a bioprosthetic valve is indicated
  • If the oartic root is small then a mechanical valve is indicated as there is a risk of aortic annular enlargement if a bioprosthetic valve is used
