The Hancock Aortic Tissue Valve is a prosthetic heart valve used in cardiac surgery to replace a damaged or diseased aortic valve.[1] It is a bioprosthetic valve, meaning it is constructed using biological tissues, specifically porcine (pig) valve tissue.[2] This valve is widely utilized in the field of cardiovascular surgery to restore proper blood flow through the heart.[3]
