https://www.Heart-Valve-Surgery.com – How long do tissue and mechanical heart valves last? Can patients do anything to extend the life of their replacement valve? What role does age play in valve durability?

To answer these important patient questions, we spoke with Dr. Doug Johnston, Chief of Cardiac Surgery at Northwestern Medicine in Chicago, Illinois. In this video, Dr. Johnston explains the latest insights on valve durability, including how modern tissue valves like the Inspiris Resilia are designed to last longer—and when a mechanical valve may be the better choice.

In this video, Dr. Johnston discusses:
- What affects the durability of tissue and mechanical valves
- How age influences valve performance over time
- Typical lifespan of modern pericardial tissue valves
- Maintenance needs of mechanical valves like anticoagulation
- Tips for making the right valve choice based on lifestyle
