Asking For Someone else, Father, Male, 51 Years old, Gujranwala
my father has leaky valve, doctor has advised him to get valve changed. kindly tell which material of valve is more durable, metal or plastic?
it is not metal or plastic
choice depends upon patients age
for young patients metallic valves are recommended but tgat requires lifelong warfarinisation
if patient is old age,bioprosthetic valves are recommended.That requires 3 months of warfarinisation.
it is not ur choice chosen as per age of the patient
