United States Tissue Heart Valves Market Report 2017-2018

DUBLIN, Dec. 14, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

The "US Market Report for Tissue Heart Valves 2018 - MedCore" report has been added to Research and Markets' offering.

The vast majority of commercially available tissue valves are xenograft valves derived from animals. Usually, the valves are porcine, meaning from a pig, or bovine, meaning from a cow. The porcine heart is most similar to the human heart and therefore represents the best anatomical fit for replacement.

The tissue of the pericardial sac is particularly well suited for a valve leaflet due to its extremely durable physical properties. Before implantation, the tissue undergoes multiple chemical treatments to make it suitable for replacement in the human heart. The tissue is sterilized so that the biological markers are removed, thereby eliminating a response from the host's immune system.

The primary advantage of tissue over mechanical valves is that tissue valves are much more biocompatible and thus a patient who receives a tissue valve does not require life-long anti-coagulation therapy. However, a disadvantage of tissue valves is that they are not as durable and typically last between 15 and 20 years before requiring replacement. Nevertheless, advances in polymer coatings have made tissue valves more durable than ever before. Furthermore, several aortic tissue valve replacement devices under development that are currently undergoing clinical trials in the U.S. or awaiting FDA approval may be implanted percutaneously.
