Pig hearts are similar to human hearts in both their size, structure and function. Due to this (and their plentiful nature) pig hearts are often used for medical research purposes and academic study.
There are a variety of different methods to accomplish a heart valve replacement, ranging from a pig valve to prosthetic valve replacement. The cost for the prosthetic valve replacement surgery, as of 2011, was $78,000.

The first successful pig heart valve transplant in a human was performed in 1960. This pioneering procedure involved the use of a pig's aortic valve to replace a damaged human valve. The surgery marked a significant advancement in the field of xenotransplantation, which explores the use of animal organs for human medical needs. Over the years, pig heart valves have become a common choice for valve replacement surgeries.
