This is mainly due to better preservation of left ventricular (LV) function, greater remodeling of the left ventricle, resistance to endocarditis, avoidance of long-term anticoagulation (mechanical valves) or reoperation (bioprosthetic valves), fewer valve-related complications (mechanical and bioprosthesis), and improved survival.1–5
