Ivor Legoff вђ Serious Prosthetic Pose A 2021 study of 1,870 older adults who had surgical aortic valve replacement found that about 8% had at least one serious complication, such as bleeding or stroke, and 3.2% died in the hospital. Heart valve replacement is a procedure to replace one of your heart’s valves with a biological or mechanical valve. sometimes, a valve doesn’t form right when you’re born. some people may have a valve that gets too narrow, stiff or leaky. in these cases, your blood can’t move through your heart efficiently. The main drawback of a mechanical valve is the tendency for blood clots to form on its metal surfaces, which can lead to serious complications including heart attack or stroke. patients with a mechanical valve require lifelong blood thinning medication, routine laboratory tests, and lifestyle modifications such as limiting intense physical. Mechanical heart valves also have disadvantages. the blood flow around a mechanical heart valve is at higher stress then a bioprosthetic valve that can lead to blood clotting abnormality and potentially development of clot on the valve. for this reason, patients undergoing mechanical heart valve replacement require life long blood thinning.
