Annual Meeting reveals that mechanical aortic valve replacements (AVRs) provide significant long-term survival benefits for patients aged 60 and younger compared to bioprosthetic valves.

The last two decades have seen an increase in the use of biological over mechanical heart valve replacements. However, while ...

Jan 29 (Reuters) - Middle-aged adults who need an aortic valve replacement fare better with mechanical devices than with the valves made from animal tissues that they currently most often receive ...

Despite guideline recommendations, the use of bioprosthetic heart valves has surpassed mechanical valves, but data from a large surgical database may lead to a reassessment of that practice.

Figure 1. This control valve is subjected to EPA’s Method 21 “sniff ” test to determine the fugitive emission leak rate after a prescribed number of mechanical and thermal cycles. There are many ...

Patients aged between 50 to 70 years with a mechanical heart valve replacement had better long-term survival compared to those with a biological valve, new research has found.

It found that patients aged 60 and younger had lower all-cause mortality with mechanical valves. Key Findings Include: Decline in mechanical valve use: Despite superior outcomes in younger ...
