Mechanical complication of heart valve prosthesis - what does this mean

Mechanical complication of heart valve prosthesis occurs when a prosthetic heart valve does not function properly due to wear and tear, improper implantation, or an infection. this can cause the valve to leak, become blocked, or become stuck in an open or closed position, leading to serious health issues.

What happens during the disease - mechanical complication of heart valve prosthesis

Mechanical complications of heart valve prosthesis occur when the prosthesis becomes damaged, leading to valve dysfunction. this can happen due to wear and tear from normal use, or due to a mechanical failure of the prosthesis. this can lead to changes in blood flow, resulting in an increased risk of clot formation, heart failure, or stroke. in some cases, a valve replacement may be necessary to restore normal valve function.
