| Core Tip |
There is no definitive evidence that bovine pericardium protheses (BPP) are inferior to porcine xenografts (PX) in terms of durability. Among Muslims, there is little information on the presence of porcine derivatives in bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs). Muslim patients may prefer BPP rather than PX, except for Darurah and Istihalah conditions. Unfortunately, the quality of biological material in BHVs is only known by bio-manufacturers. To comply with the 2025 European Society of Cardiology/European Association for Cardio-Thoracic Surgery guidelines for the management of valvular heart disease, we believe that the heart team could benefit from the advice of qualified Islamic religious leaders in delivering to Muslim patients a comprehensive scenario of BHV utilization. |
