The choice of surgical aortic valve replacement type and mid-term outcomes in 50 to 65-year-olds: results of the AUTHEARTVISIT study
Among patients aged 50 to 65 years undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement, mechanical valves were associated with improved long-term survival, fewer major adverse events, and a lower need for repeat surgery. These findings suggest a need to re-evaluate the increasing use of biological valves in this age group.
