So you know, a porcine valve replacement is actually taken from the heart of a pig. I know that sounds a little odd…. But, porcine valves have been used in heart valve replacement surgery for over 20 years. That makes pig valves a very safe and very credible alternative for patients requiring valve replacement.
Bioprosthetic valves are usually made from animal tissue (heterograft/xenograft) attached to a metal or polymer support. Bovine (cow) tissue is most commonly used, but some are made from porcine (pig) tissue. The tissue is treated to prevent rejection and calcification.
The Mosaic™ heart valve is one option for patients with aortic or mitral valve disease. The Mosaic heart valve is made from the heart valve of a pig (porcine). A pig's heart valve anatomy is similar to that of a human heart. In order to implant the valve in the heart, the tissue is mounted on a flexible frame.
Porcine heterograft (or xenograft) valves Porcine valves are treated with glutaraldehyde which both sterilises the valve tissue and renders it biologically acceptable to the recipient—for example, the Hancock II Porcine (Medtronic) and the Biocor Porcine (St Jude Medical) prostheses.
The pigs that are used for medical purposes are grown for human consumption. Under sterile conditions, the valves are removed from the pig's body. The excess tissue and myocardium are then removed. The valves are then “sized” so they are appropriately fit when implanted into a human.
Biological valves, also known as bioprosthetic valves, come from cows or pigs in most cases. Doctors use human donor valves only rarely. Typically, biological valves last between 10 and 15 years, so you may require another replacement surgery at some point.
Unlike a pig valve replacement, a cow valve uses the tissue of the cow's heart – not the actual heart valve structure itself. The size of an actual cow valve is too large compared to a human heart valve. A cow valve would not fit in a human heart.
To replace a heart valve, your doctor removes the heart valve and replaces it with a mechanical valve or a valve made from cow, pig or human heart tissue (biological tissue valve). Biological valves often eventually need to be replaced, as they break down over time.
With aortic valve replacement surgery, the faulty valve is removed and replaced with an artificial valve. As with mitral valve replacement surgery, a damaged mitral valve can be replaced with either a mechanical valve or a biological valve.
Dear Heather, The pig valves come from pigs that have been slaughtered for food. Please be assured, that just because the pigs are not raised specifically for this purpose, a wonderful "perk" from the rearing of pigs is that the heart valves can be used to save human lives.
BHVs have been typically made by sewing glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium or porcine aortic valve tissue on a fabric covered polymeric or metal stent.
This is the official approximate match mapping between ICD9 and ICD10, as provided by the General Equivalency mapping crosswalk. This means that while there is no exact mapping between this ICD10 code Z95.2 and a single ICD9 code, V43.3 is an approximate match for comparison and conversion purposes.
Billable codes are sufficient justification for admission to an acute care hospital when used a principal diagnosis. The Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) requires medical coders to indicate whether or not a condition was present at the time of admission, in order to properly assign MS-DRG codes.
