Patients with a size 21 mm mechanical valve had better survival compared to both size 19 and 21 mm biological valves. The study confirmed that severe PPM is a significant risk factor for poor long ...
Between mechanical valve (n=411) and biological valve (n=202) cohorts, those with mechanical valves were disproportionately more likely to come from low- or middle-income countries (81% vs 38%).
A study led by the University of Bristol, Bristol, England, has found that mechanical heart valves provide better long-term survival than biological heart valves in patients aged 50-70 years.
Overall, mechanical valve use decreased by about half over the study period, from almost 20% in 2008 to below 10% in 2019. Compared with patients undergoing mechanical AVR, those receiving ...
