NEW YORK—Calling the breakthrough a significant step forward in xenotransplantation, New York University doctors confirmed Monday they had successfully transplanted a pig foreskin onto a circumcised human. “This successful operation proves that pig penises are a viable, long-term solution for circumcised patients in desperate need of working foreskin,” lead surgeon Robert Langford said of the procedure […]
You can’t do a xenotransplantation of living tissue, its immunogenic. The implanted heart valves are dead.
Using dead pig skin as a graft is just a worse version of a fish scale graft with way increased risk of infection. Even if it was possible (I don’t know if it is) it would just be a worse version of an existing procedure
Oh interesting, I didn’t know the valve was dead

Preferably more of a fore-scales situation
Please don’t give the scalies any more ideas
