My inbox is getting lots of excellent patient questions about the durability of next-generation biological heart valve replacements. As you may know… During the past 10 years, biological heart valves, also known as tissue valves, have benefitted from a series of design innovations.

To learn how these medical and technological advances have impacted the durability of biological heart valve replacements, I just interviewed Dr. Ibrahim Sultan, the Surgical Director of the Center for Heart Valve Disease at UPMC in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Many thanks to Dr. Ibrahim Sultan for sharing his clinical insights and research with our patient community. I would also like to thank the entire UPMC team for taking great care of heart valve patients!

Keep on tickin!
