Abstract

Aortic valve replacement is a procedure unique in its ability to resolve significant and worsening aortic valve disease of any aetiology. The valve substitute can be a mechanical valve (usually a bileaflet valve), bioprosthesis (stented, stentless, sutureless, or transcathetral), allograft, or autograft. Specific advantages and drawbacks of respective type of the valve substitute are discussed in detail. The in-hospital mortality of aortic valve replacement ranges between 2 and 3%. Potential valve-related complications comprise thromboembolic and bleeding events, valve thrombosis, degeneration of bioprostheses, paravalvar leak, and patient–prosthesis mismatch.
