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?

General Physician in Karachi - Dr. Naveen Manzoor

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 requires 3 months of warfarinisation.
