- Heart Surgery - Aortic Valve Surgery - Aortic Valve Replacement - Mechanical Replacement
Mechanical Valve Replacement Mechanical heart valves for aortic valve replacement are made up of durable components that do not react with the body's immune system. Mechanical valves are designed to last for a long period of time, and rarely require re-operation. The major drawback to mechanical heart valves is that patients must remain on blood thinners (coumadin is the name of one medication) for the rest of their lives. Blood thinners prevent clots from forming on the heart valve, but they increase the risk of stroke and other problems.If you have specific questions regarding aortic valve replacement surgery, please contact (949) 650-3350 to schedule a consult with one of the physicians. |
