A Prospective Early Feasibility Clinical Study of Surgical Implantation of a Polymer Prosthetic Heart Valve

The goal of this clinical trial is to explore the early feasibility, initial safety, and efficacy of surgical implantation of a polymer prosthetic heart valve in patients requiring either mitral valve replacement or aortic valve replacement.

The main question it aims to answer is:

-- What is the rate of valve-related complications, including thromboembolism, valve thrombosis, severe perivalvular leak, severe bleeding, and endocarditis, at 12 months post-operation?

Participants will undergo:

* Surgical implantation of a polymer prosthetic valve (mitral valve replacement for mitral valve group and aortic valve replacement for aortic valve group). * Regular follow-up visits at 30 days, 3-6 months, and 12 months post-operation to evaluate clinical outcomes, including echocardiographic assessment and clinical event monitoring.

Inclusion: Adults requiring surgical replacement of either mitral or aortic valve; Capable of undergoing cardiopulmonary bypass; Able to tolerate anticoagulation therapy; Able to understand study purpose, willing to provide informed consent and comply with follow-up.

Exclusion: History of previous cardiac valve surgery or percutaneous valve replacement, including surgical aortic or mitral valve replacement (excluding Percutaneous Balloon Mitral Valvuloplasty [PBMV], which is permitted); Planned concurrent aortic valve surgery or combined valve procedure (e.g., simultaneous aortic and mitral valve surgery); Stroke or transient ischemic attack within the prior 3 months; Myocardial infarction, unstable coronary syndrome, or coronary revascularization within the prior 3 months; Participation in another interventional clinical trial involving investigational devices or drugs; Requirement for urgent or emergency cardiac surgery; Anticipated need for additional non-valve cardiac surgery within 12 months; Active systemic infection, including pneumonia or infective endocarditis; Severe comorbidities with expected life expectancy <12 months, including Child-Pugh C liver disease, end-stage malignancy, or advanced pulmonary disease; History of substance abuse, chronic alcoholism, or significant psychiatric illness impairing study compliance; Preoperative or intraoperative anatomical unsuitability of the valve apparatus or cardiac structure; Known allergy or hypersensitivity to polyurethane, polyester, or sulfonate-based biomaterials used in the valve prosthesis; Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤35%, indicating severe systolic dysfunction; Severe renal insufficiency, e.g., estimated GFR <30 mL/min/1.73 m² or requirement for chronic dialysis; Coagulopathy or active bleeding disorders, e.g., INR >1.5 without anticoagulation therapy; Hematologic abnormalities: hematocrit <30%, hemoglobin <100 g/L, platelet count <100 × 10⁹/L, or WBC <4 × 10⁹/L or >10 × 10⁹/L; Scheduled coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) during the same admission; Intracardiac thrombus detected on echocardiography or imaging; Anatomical risk factors such as ascending aortic aneurysm (≥50 mm), bicuspid aortic valve with ascending aorta ≥45 mm, or other high-risk features identified on imaging; Withdrawal from the study after valve implantation (such participants are not allowed to re-enroll).
