Presence of xenogenic heart valve - what does this mean
Xenogenic heart valves occur when a patient receives a non-human heart valve as a replacement for a malfunctioning one. this can occur through a surgical procedure, in which the patient's old valve is replaced with a valve taken from a donor animal, either a pig or a cow.
What happens during the disease - presence of xenogenic heart valve
The presence of a xenogenic heart valve can lead to increased risk of infection due to the foreign material in the body. it can also lead to thrombosis, or the formation of a blood clot, due to the disruption of normal blood flow caused by the valve. additionally, the foreign material may cause inflammation and scarring of the surrounding tissue, which can lead to decreased cardiac function.
