2. Valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_replacement

   Current aortic valve replacement approaches include closed heart surgery, Very invasive cardiac surgery (VICS) and Very invasive, Scapulae-based aortic valve replacement. Catheter replacement of the aortic valve (called trans-aortic valve replacement or implementation [TAVR or TAVI]) is a minimally invasive option for those suffering from ...

3. Tissue engineering of heart valves - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tissue_engineering_of...

   Decellularized tricuspid biological heart valve. Biological scaffolds can be created from human donor tissue or from animals; however, animal tissue is often more popular since it is more widely accessible and more plentiful. [10] Xenograft, from a donor of a different species from the recipient, heart valves can be from either pigs, cows, or ...

4. Ross procedure - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ross_procedure

   Diagram of the human heart. Several adaptations of the Ross procedure have evolved, but the principle is essentially the same; to replace a diseased aortic valve with the person's own pulmonary valve (autograft), and replace the person's own pulmonary valve with a pulmonary valve from a cadaver (homograft) or a stentless xenograft.

5. Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transcatheter_pulmonary...

   Transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR), also known as percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI), is the replacement of the pulmonary valve via catheterization through a vein. It is a significantly less invasive procedure in comparison to open heart surgery and is commonly used to treat conditions such as pulmonary atresia .

   Dr. Davis emphasizes that valve damage is not only caused by poor dietary habits, explaining, “Diet is often talked about in connection to heart disease, but valve damage has different causes.

7. Artificial heart valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_heart_valve

   An artificial heart valve is a one-way valve implanted into a person's heart to replace a heart valve that is not functioning properly (valvular heart disease). Artificial heart valves can be separated into three broad classes: mechanical heart valves, bioprosthetic tissue valves and engineered tissue valves.

8. Decellularization of porcine heart valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decellularization_of...

   Decellularization of porcine heart valves is the removal of cells along with antigenic cellular elements [1] by either physical or chemical decellularization of the tissue. [2] This decellularized valve tissue provides a scaffold with the remaining extracellular matrix (ECM) that can then be used for tissue engineering and valve replacement in ...
