1.1 Current evidence on the safety and efficacy of aortic valve reconstruction with processed bovine pericardium is inadequate in quantity and quality. Therefore, this procedure should only be used in the context of research. Find out what only in research means on the NICE interventional procedures guidance page.

1.2 Further research should address patient selection and report long-term outcomes, particularly the durability of the valve.
