Before starting with echocardiographic evaluation of a valve prosthesis it is necessary to be aware of the different types of valve prostheses. There is a difference in the kind and in the type and diameter. Thus, each manufacturer has its own characteristics. And there is a difference in whether the prosthesis is biologically or mechanically created.

==Postoperative ultrasound==
 
After valve replacement have to be at the time that a patient is stable (hemodynamic and metabolism, "no anemia") to be an output echo is made for capturing of valve parameters. Here it is to calculate with use of the art valve diameter, a valve surface is important so that a size is recorded regardless of the cardiac output. (Fever creates a hyperdynamic circulation so the gradients will increase, not the calculated valve area).
 
Bioprostheses also have their own characteristics that must be recorded postoperatively. Every patient has some hi-profile bioprostheses the struts and the structure of the stabbing valve in the outflow tract. It may be some LV outflow obstruction occur. The main problem with bioprostheses is the degeneration. This can be both progressive obstruction occur as tearing of leaflets which there is a major failure occurs.

==Percutaneous Aortic Valve==
 
Surgical replacement of the aortic valve is an effective treatment modality for patients with degenerative aortic stenosis and calcification. In an aging population, however, there are more and more patients in whom surgery poses a high risk. Due to recent developments, there is a less invasive alternative possible, resulting in a prosthesis (bioprosthesis) of the aorta, through the femoral artery or transapical can be inserted.

Postoperatively is always an echocardiographic examination is necessary to exclude paravalvular leakage. Shortly after placement of a percutaneous valve is almost inevitable that there paravalvular leak is present because the aortic wall where the prosthesis against them is not smooth and round but rough and irregular. A slight paravalvular leakage is still accepted and usually disappears after a few weeks if tissue has grown over the prosthesis. In severe paravalvular leakage is the probability that the prosthesis becomes loose it big so it must be replaced.
