About Tissue Heart Valves

Heart valves are prosthetic cardiovascular medical devices that are used to replace a defective heart valve. These valves can be biological (tissue) or mechanical. Manufacturers develop tissue heart valves from various sources such as bovine, porcine, and human tissues. Devices developed using human tissues are known as allografts or homografts. The implantation of these devices does not require the lifelong use of blood-thinner medications compared to mechanical tissue heart valves. They also ensure unidirectional flow of the blood across heart chambers. The medical facilities worldwide perform about 300,000 heart valve replacement procedures each year.

Technavio’s analysts forecast the global tissue heart valves market to grow at a CAGR of 3.81% during the period 2016-2020.
