bp v mech
class 1 recommendation(s) for mitral valve choice
- shared decision-making (1)
- bp if warfarin contraindicated (1)
“For patients who require heart valve replacement, the choice of prosthetic valve should be based on a shared decision-making process that accounts for the patient’s values and preferences and includes discussion of the indications for and risks of anticoagulant therapy and the potential need for and risks associated with valve reintervention.”
“For patients of any age requiring valve replacement for whom anticoagulant therapy is contraindicated, cannot be managed appropriately, or is not desired, a bioprosthetic valve is recommended.”

(2)
- shared decision-making (1)
- bp if warfarin contraindicated (1)
“For patients who require heart valve replacement, the choice of prosthetic valve should be based on a shared decision-making process that accounts for the patient’s values and preferences and includes discussion of the indications for and risks of anticoagulant therapy and the potential need for and risks associated with valve reintervention.”
“For patients of any age requiring valve replacement for whom anticoagulant therapy is contraindicated, cannot be managed appropriately, or is not desired, a bioprosthetic valve is recommended.”
bp v mech
age-based recommendation(s) for mitral valve choice
- <65yo = mech (2a)
- ≥65yo = bp (2a)
assuming no contraindication to warfarin
“For patients <65 years of age who have an indication for MVR, do not have a contraindication to anticoagulation, and are unable to undergo MVRx, it is reasonable to choose a mechanical prosthesis over a bioprosthetic valve.”
“For patients ≥65 years of age who require MVR and are unable to undergo MVRx, it is reasonable to choose a bioprosthesis over a mechanical valve.”

“For patients who require heart valve replacement, the choice of prosthetic valve should be based on a shared decision-making process that accounts for the patient’s values and preferences and includes discussion of the indications for and risks of anticoagulant therapy and the potential need for and risks associated with valve reintervention.”
“For patients of any age requiring valve replacement for whom anticoagulant therapy is contraindicated, cannot be managed appropriately, or is not desired, a bioprosthetic valve is recommended.”
