Comparing porcine versus bovine mitral valve replacement in terms of structural valve deterioration: a systematic review.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Bioprosthetic mitral valve replacements (MVR) commonly utilize either bovine or porcine valves; however, in terms of structural valve deterioration (SVD), clinical superiority between these valve types remains controversial. The primary objective of this study was to directly compare structural valve deterioration between porcine and bovine bioprosthetic valves used in mitral valve replacement.

Methods

A systematic review was conducted following PRISMA guidelines. Studies directly comparing porcine and bovine bioprosthetic valves in MVR were identified through comprehensive searches of Embase, MEDLINE, and Web of Science databases from inception through March 5, 2025. Eligible studies were cohort studies that directly compared bovine and porcine bioprosthetic valv
