IN PROSTHETIC HEART
VALVE PATIENTS

THE
REPLACEMENT
Ideal valve
Good hemodynamic
Quiet
Require no anticoagulation
Last for life time
Cheap
Easy to implant
Desired valves
Mechanical valves - preferred in young patients
who have a life expectancy of more than 10 to 15 years
who require long-term anticoagulant therapy for other
reasons (e.g., atrial fibrillation)
Bioprosthetic valves
preferred in patients who are elderly
have a life expectancy of less than 10 to 15 years
who cannot take long-term anticoagulant therapy
A bileaflet-tilting-disk or homograft prosthesis is most
suitable for a patient with a small valvular annulus in
whom a prosthesis with the largest possible effective
orifice area is desired.
THE MEDICATION
Antithrombotic
An antithrombotic agent is a drug that
reduces the formation of blood clots
(thrombi).
Anticoagulants: prevent clot formation
and extension
Antiplatelet drugs: interfere with platelet
activity
Thrombolytic agents: dissolve existing
thrombi

Do procedure at:
normal INR range;
use no alternative or
use LD, AdjD or FD
