Bioprosthetic vs. mechanical prostheses in patients aged 50–70 years undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery: outcomes analysis from propensity score matching
Patients aged 50-70 years who underwent mechanical valve SAVR had lower risk of all-cause mortality and MACE compared with those who received a bioprosthesis, despite higher bleeding risk. Randomized comparisons are necessary to confirm these findings.
