Over time, a bicuspid aortic valve degenerates and calcifies causing a disorder known as aortic stenosis. Those who have aortic stenosis, usually found in middle age, often have bicuspid aortic valve disease too. To prevent serious problems such as stroke, or even premature death, the aortic valve needs to be replaced.
Who is at risk of Aortic Stenosis? Aortic stenosis mainly affects older people, and onset starts at around 60, but is more likely to develop in the 70s or the 80s. Children with congenital heart defects can develop aortic stenosis when only two cusps grow, instead of the normal three. This is a bicuspid aortic valve.

Aortic Valve Disease (AVD) is the most common Valvular Heart Disease (VHD), affecting millions of people worldwide. Severe AVD is treated in most cases with prosthetic aortic valve replacement, which involves the substitution of the native aortic valve with a prosthetic one.
Artificial heart valves are often known as mechanical heart valves and made from metallic alloys or plastic materials. In bioprosthetic heart valves, the valve tissue is typically from an animal species and mounted on a frame, known as a bioprosthesis.

Prosthetic heart valves are designed to replicate the function of native valves by maintaining unidirectional blood flow and can be separated into two broad categories, mechanical and bioprosthetic (also called tissue) valves, each with different advantages and disadvantages.
The diseased valve may be repaired using a ring to support the damaged valve, or the entire valve may be removed and replaced by an artificial valve. Artificial valves may be made of carbon coated plastic or tissue (made from animal valves or human valves taken from donors).
The three main types of artificial heart valves are mechanical, biological (bioprosthetic/tissue), and tissue-engineered valves.
Bioprosthetic valves are generally made of either bovine pericardium or porcine aortic valves, but may also be produced from equine or porcine pericardium. The advantage of these bioprosthetic valves is that they do not require life-long anticoagulation.
There are two major types of prostheses used for valve replacements: mechanical valves and tissue valves. One type of prosthesis may be a better option for your father, so which valve is right requires some thought. Mechanical valves are most commonly used when replacing the aortic and mitral valves.
The aortic valve is a valve in the heart of humans and most other animals, located between the left ventricle and the aorta. It is one of the four valves of the heart and one of the two semilunar valves, the other being the pulmonary valve....Aortic valveLatinvalva aortaeMeSHD001021TA98A12.1.04.012TA239936 more rows
In conclusion, the bovine valve is superior in its complication and haemodynamic profiles. Both bovine and porcine valves have comparable results with regard to the mortality, postoperative functional status and valve durability.
Mechanical valves may last a lifetime, but they come with an increased risk of blood clots, necessitating the long-term use of blood thinners. Biologic valves made from pig or cow tissue typically don't cause clotting, but they wear out sooner, often requiring patients to undergo another surgery.
