2. 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.

   Dr. Bereliani adds that heart valves can get damaged due to infection, which he says can come from illicit IV drug use or a bacterial tooth infection. It’s also possible for the body’s immune ...

4. Heart valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heart_valve

   A heart valve is a biological one-way valve that allows blood to flow in one direction through the chambers of the heart. A mammalian heart usually has four valves. Together, the valves determine the direction of blood flow through the heart. Heart valves are opened or closed by a difference in blood pressure on each side. [1] [2] [3]

   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 ...

7. Artificial heart - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_heart

   An artificial heart is a device that replaces the heart.Artificial hearts are typically used as a bridge to heart transplantation, but ongoing research aims to develop a device that could permanently replace the heart when a transplant—whether from a deceased human or, experimentally, from a genetically engineered pig—is unavailable or not viable.

8. Hancock Aortic Tissue Valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hancock_Aortic_Tissue_Valve

   Prosthetic heart valves, including the Hancock Aortic Tissue Valve, are not without drawbacks. Structural degradation is a risk, potentially necessitating reoperation. [13] [3] Studies have indicated the need for ongoing research and improvement in bioprosthetic valve technology to address such concerns [13]

9. Aortic valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_replacement

   Aortic valve replacement is a cardiac surgery procedure whereby a failing aortic valve is replaced with an artificial heart valve. The aortic valve may need to be replaced because of aortic regurgitation (back flow), or if the valve is narrowed by stenosis .
