Summary

Since the first successful heart valve replacement procedures were performed in the 1950s, a multitude of different heart valves have been developed and implanted. This review offers a structured overview of the most important mechanical and biological heart valves with special regard to the individual indications of mechanical versus biological heart valve replacement and to possible postoperative complications.

Zusammenfassung

Seit den ersten Herzklappenersatzoperationen in den 50er Jahren wurde eine Vielzahl von Herzklappenprothesen entwickelt und eingesetzt. Die vorliegende Arbeit bietet eine strukturierte Übersicht über die wichtigsten mechanischen und biologischen Herzklappenprothesen, die in nennenswerten Stückzahlen Verwendung fanden. Besonders berücksichtigt werden die relativen Indikationen für einen mechanischen bzw. biologischen Klappenersatz sowie die möglichen postoperativen Komplikationen der jeweiligen Verfahren.
