Brief Summary
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.

Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- 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
You may not qualify if:
- 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).
- Requirement for urgent or emergency cardiac surgery.
- Planned concurrent aortic valve surgery or combined valve procedure (e.g., simultaneous aortic and mitral valve surgery).
- Scheduled coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) during the same admission.
- Anticipated need for additional non-valve cardiac surgery within 12 months.
- Active systemic infection, including pneumonia or infective endocarditis.
- Intracardiac thrombus detected on echocardiography or imaging.
- Stroke or transient ischemic attack within the prior 3 months.
- Myocardial infarction, unstable coronary syndrome, or coronary revascularization within the prior 3 months.
- Severe comorbidities with expected life expectancy \<12 months, including Child-Pugh C liver disease, end-stage malignancy, or advanced pulmonary disease.
- Participation in another interventional clinical trial involving investigational devices or drugs.
- 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.
- 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.
- +5 more criteria
