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.
