There are 4 valves in heart, on left mitral and aortic valve while on right tricuspid and pulmonary valve.</p> <p><strong>What are different artificial valve options for such disease ?</strong></p> <p>Based on the type of artificial heart valve, we have mainly two options:- mechanical and tissue valve.</p> <p>Mechanical valves are generally used for younger patients requiring <a href="https://www.abheartcare.com/valve-replacement/">heart valve surgery</a>. These valves require life long blood thinning medications like acitrom or warfarin but they have advantages of low failure rate and very low chances of reoperation. </p> <p>Tissue valves are preferred for older age group patients or females expecting pregnancy in the near future. These valves are made from bovine or porcine pericardium and don’t require blood thinning medications after 3 months of surgery. Only disadvantage here is the limited life of these valves and need for reoperation after a certain number of years. </p> <p><a href="https://www.abheartcare.com/blog/heart-specialist-in-chandigarh/">Heart Specialist in Chandigarh</a></p>
