Comparison of the Long-Term Outcomes of Mechanical and Bioprosthetic Aortic Valves

چکیده
Patients This study was a pooled analysis of 2 large retrospective T he American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) recently published their revised guidelines on the selection of prosthetic valves.1 According to their class I recommendation, patient values and preferences must be taken into account, based on full disclosure and understanding of the indications for anticoagulant therapy and the potential need for and risk of reoperation. Besides patient preference, age has been one of the most important factors influencing prosthetic valve choice: mechanical valves are recommended for patients <60 years of age, and bioprosthetic valves for those >70 years of age. For those between 60 and 70 years

Survival and long-term outcomes following bioprosthetic vs mechanical aortic valve replacement in patients aged 50 to 69 years.
IMPORTANCE The choice between bioprosthetic and mechanical aortic valve replacement in younger patients is controversial because long-term survival and major morbidity are poorly characterized. OBJECTIVE To quantify survival and major morbidity in patients aged 50 to 69 years undergoing aortic valve replacement. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PARTICIPANTS Retrospective cohort analysis of 4253 patient...

متن کاملMechanical versus bioprosthetic valve replacement in middle-aged patients.
OBJECTIVE The current trend towards decreasing the age for selection of a tissue over a mechanical prosthesis has led to a dilemma for patients aged 50-65 years. This cohort study examines the long-term outcomes of mechanical versus bioprosthetic valves in middle-aged patients. METHODS Patients (N = 659) aged between 50 and 65 years who had first-time aortic valve replacement (AVR) and/or mit...
متن کاملAortic valve replacement in younger adults: a biological valve is not the logical choice.
Since the Veterans Affairs landmark randomized trial on heart valve replacement with mechanical vs. bioprosthetic valves reported their long-term results, guidelines for aortic valve replacement (AVR) have recommended the use of mechanical valves in patients younger than 60 years of age and the use of bioprosthetic valves in patients above the age of 65 or 70 years, depending on the European or...
متن کاملIs it the time to reconsider the choice of valves for cardiac surgery: mechanical or bioprosthetic?
Valvular heart disease is a pathologic process involving one or more of the four valves (aortic, pulmonary, mitral and tricuspid) of the heart typified by stenosis or regurgitation and leading to patient symptoms. The most common causes are tissue degeneration, rheumatic fever and congenital heart diseases. Aortic valve replacement (AVR) using either mechanical or bioprosthetic (tissue) valves ...
