Bioprosthetic valves are popular for aortic valve replacement because parients with this type of valve don’t need long-term anticoagulation. However, using bioprosthetic valves in patients Under 65 years old is controversial because of concerns about long-term durability and the potential need for a subsequent reoperation. This digest aims to shed lights on bioprosthetic aortic valves durability, focusing on Edwards aortic valves durability. Read this digest to get insights on aortic valves durability, and integrate the slide deck to your own presentation to share these data.
