Sort of like testing a car, a team of researchers at UBC Okanagan has been test driving a number of mechanical heart valves (MHV)-and the one designed in their own lab appears to outperform the others ...

Tissue valves generally perform better than MHVs and provide better blood flow, but last an average of 10 to 15 years, which could require another replacement, explains Dr. Mohammadi. Mechanical ...

Odds of an uncomplicated pregnancy with a live birth were lower for mothers with mechanical valves versus biological valves. Risks from anticoagulation appeared highest with low-molecular-weight ...

While mechanical valves last longer than bioprosthetic valves—20 years ... a report of the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Practice Guidelines.

This procedure involves replacing the faulty valve with either a mechanical or biological valve. Mechanical valves are made from durable materials and can last approximately 25 years, but they ...
