Different types of valve art

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.

Mechanical prosthetic valves
Advantages and disadvantages of mechanical and bioprosthetic
Mechanical Biological
Advantages Durable
  • No anticoagulation needed
  • Less obstruction of the blood flow
  • No Leakage
  • Inaudible
  • Hemodialysis
  • Less risk of infection in the ring or edge flap
  • No pannus (tissue ingrowth)
Disadvantages
  • Anticoagulation needed
  • Any obstruction of the blood flow
  • Leakage (leakage backflow after valve closure, closure backflow flap for closure.
  • Audible (ticks).
  • Hemodialysis (blood cells break down by colliding with mechanical valve.
  • Infection in ring or rim valve (endocarditis).
  • Pannus (tissue ingrowth)
Degeneration is 10-15 years
NB: For all valve prostheses is indicated in some cases endocarditis prophylaxis.[1]
