What is the optimal choice of heart valve prosthesis for aortic valve replacement in patients aged 20 to 50 years?
The optimal choice of heart valve prosthesis for aortic valve replacement in young adults (20-50 years) remains controversial.
In absence of the ‘ideal’ heart valve prosthesis, the debate on the optimal choice of valve substitute in patients requiring aortic valve replacement is ongoing. The controversy is even more alive when it concerns the younger population between 20 and 50 years of age.
