Valve Replacement
Heart valve surgery is a procedure used to repair or replace diseased heart valves.

Tissue valves (also called biologic or bioprosthetic valves) are made of human or animal tissue. Some valves may have some artificial parts to help give the valve support and to aid placement. There are three types of tissue valves: pig tissue (porcine), cow tissue (bovine), and human (allografts or homografts).
The porcine stented valve was the first generation of porcine tissue valves. They have been available for more than 30 years. The valves are made from natural porcine aortic valves, but may be used for aortic or mitral valve replacement. They are trimmed and then fixed in buffered..
