Mechanical Versus Bioprosthetic Aortic Valve Replacement in Patients Aged 50 Years and Younger

ConclusionsThe increased risk of reoperation for bAVR and major bleeding incidents for mAVR was not reflected in midterm and long-term survival differences between the two groups. Our results suggest that bAVR may be an acceptable prosthesis choice for some patients aged 50 years and younger, although the results should be taken with caution.Visual Abstract
