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. Valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Valve_replacement

   Valve replacement surgery is the replacement of one or more of the heart valves with either an artificial heart valve or a bioprosthesis (homograft from human tissue or xenograft e.g. from pig). It is an alternative to valve repair .

4. 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.

5. 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 ...

6. 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 .
