Hi , surgeons, I wonder which kind of tissue valves(biologic valves) are better? Porcine valves or bovine ones? Which is more durable?
which brands of tissue valves are of best part?

Thanks in advance.
Answers:    A biological valve will final about 7 yrs, readily available, short term near anticoagulants, mechanical valve will last going on for more than 12 yrs readily available, life long with anticoagulants, homograft spigot, taken from a dead person, will last more than 12 yrs, no anticoagulants needed.
Would be up to the surgeon, which type would fit the stipulation. The surgeon would discuss this with the patient. Source(s): heart patient
