Before starting with echocardiographic evaluation of a valve prosthesis it is necessary to be aware of the different types of valve prostheses. There is a difference in the kind and in the type and diameter. Thus, each manufacturer has its own characteristics. And there is a difference in whether the prosthesis is biologically or mechanically created.

!Benefits
|Durable
|
*No anticoagulation needed
*Less obstruction of the blood flow
*No Leakage
*Inaudible
*Hemodialysis
*Less risk of infection in the ring or edge flap
*No pannus (tissue ingrowth)
disadvantages
|-
!Anticoagulation needed
|
*Any obstruction of the blood flow
*Leakage (leakage backflow after valve closure, closure backflow flap for closure.
*Audible (ticks).
*Hemodialysis (blood cells break down by colliding with mechanical valve.
*Infection in ring or rim valve (endocarditis).
*Pannus (tissue ingrowth)
|Degeneration is 10-15 years
|-
!NB: For all valve prostheses is indicated in some cases endocarditis prophylaxis.
