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

   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 ...

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. Hancock Aortic Tissue Valve - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hancock_Aortic_Tissue_Valve

   The Hancock Aortic Tissue Valve is commonly used in patients requiring aortic valve replacement due to conditions such as aortic stenosis or aortic regurgitation. [7] The choice between a mechanical or bioprosthetic valve depends on various factors, including the patient's age, lifestyle, and medical history.

6. 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.

7. These Are the 2 Biggest Signs of Heart Valve Damage ... - AOL

   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.

8. 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 .

9. Aortic valve replacement - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aortic_valve_replacement

   Tissue heart valves are usually made from animal tissue (heterografts) mounted on a metal or polymer support. [14] Bovine (cow) tissue is most commonly used, but some are made from porcine (pig) tissue. [15] The tissue is treated to prevent rejection and calcification (where calcium builds up on the replacement valve and stops it working ...
