Long-term clinical outcomes in patients between the age of 50–70 years receiving biological versus mechanical aortic valve prostheses
Patients aged between 50 and 70 years with a mechanical aortic prosthesis had better long-term survival compared to those with a biological prosthesis. Our study underscores the need for a critical re-evaluation of prosthesis selection strategies in this age group.
