    The four valves in the heart - the mitral, tricuspid, pulmonary, and aortic valves - each have flaps that open and close once per heartbeat to ensure blood flows in the correct direction through the heart. Biological valves are typically made from procine aortic valves and help reduce the risk of clotting but have a limited lifespan before needing replacement, depending on the age of the patient. Mechanical valves consist of a durable artificial structure made of materials like titanium and pyrolytic carbon with circular discs that open and close to regulate blood flow.
