Q

What are the key differences between and when would you use a mechanical valve and when a biological valve?

A

Mechanical valves last longer and require lifelong anticoagulation, so are used on younger patients and on those already on anticoagulants (e.g. AF)

Biological valves are less durable and only require aspirin not warfarin. They are used in older patients and women of child bearing age.
