LOS ANGELES -- Survival outcomes favored mechanical valves for isolated surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) for people until age 60, after which a tissue valve may start to have an advantage ...

In patients undergoing aortic-valve or mitral-valve replacement, either a mechanical or biologic prosthesis is used. Biologic prostheses have been increasingly favored despite limited evidence supp ...

Long-term survival was also 30% greater for mechanical-valve recipients compared with bioprosthetic-valve recipients in the overall multivariable adjusted model.

A late-breaking study presented today at the 2025 Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Annual Meeting reveals that mechanical aortic valve replacements (AVRs) provide significant long-term survival ...

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, U.S. researchers ...

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.

"In our study, we have identified a model of mechanical aortic valves which performs worse compared to other mechanical aortic valves.

In terms of repeat valve interventions, only patients who underwent re-do surgical aortic valve replacement or valve in valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) at the BHI were included.
