What is the sustainability of Mechanical Heart Valve? I was inserted two mechanical heart valves (mitral and aortic) in 2004 are St. Jude Medical
I want to know what is normal durability of these valves?
If it is mechanical, it can last 20-30 years, but if it is organic (valves made from pork), then they must be replaced more often.
mechanical heart valves lasts 20-30 years.
