摘要：Valvular heart disease is a pathologic process involving one or more of the four valves (aortic,pulmonary,mitral and tricuspid) of the heart typified by stenosis or regurgitation and leading to patient symptoms.The most common causes are tissue degeneration,rheumatic fever and congenital heart diseases.Aortic valve replacement (AVR) using either mechanical or bioprosthetic (tissue) valves via open-heart surgical AVR (SAVR) is the most widely accepted standard treatment.The choice of which valve type to be used depends on patient age,disease nature and other comorbidities.
