The first successful pig heart valve transplant in a human was performed in 1960. This pioneering procedure involved the use of a pig's aortic valve to replace a damaged human valve. The surgery marked a significant advancement in the field of xenotransplantation, which explores the use of animal organs for human medical needs. Over the years, pig heart valves have become a common choice for valve replacement surgeries.
