Long-term complications of valve replacement include valve failure, myocardial failure, thromboembolism, and endocarditis, with risks varying by prosthesis type and implantation site.
What are the long-term complications associated with heart valve replacement?
Long-term complications of valve replacement include valve failure, myocardial failure, thromboembolism, and endocarditis, with risks varying by prosthesis type and implantation site.
C M Oakley (1982) conducted a review in Heart valve replacement. Heart valve replacement was evaluated on Long-term complications (valve failure, myocardial failure, thromboembolism, prosthetic endocarditis). Heart valve replacement carries long-term risks of valve failure, myocardial failure, thromboembolism, and endocarditis, with mechanical and tissue valves presenting different complication profiles.
