2. 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 ...

3. 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.

4. 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 ...

5. Decellularized homograft - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decellularized_homograft

   The lack of durable heart valve prostheses for young patients has driven forward research in tissue engineering approaches for valve replacement. Current tissue-engineering concepts are based on either artificial polymeric or biological scaffolds, derived from donated human tissue or animals (xenogenic).

6. Hancock Aortic Tissue Valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hancock_Aortic_Tissue_Valve

   The Hancock Aortic Tissue Valve is a prosthetic heart valve used in cardiac surgery to replace a damaged or diseased aortic valve. [1] It is a bioprosthetic valve, meaning it is constructed using biological tissues, specifically porcine (pig) valve tissue. [ 2 ]
