A "standard" artificial heart valve must meet all the factors: easy to install, durable, not coagulate on the valve, not cause hemolysis, have hemodynamic efficiency... Because of the above strict factors Therefore, after congenital heart surgery, patients still need to be examined regularly and take medication as prescribed by the doctor.
