China is one of the countries which have a high incidence of heart valvular disease, but the use of biological valve is limited in China before because the majority of patients are young patients suffering from rheumatic heart disease. The biological valve has a good application prospect in China. On the one hand, the new generation of biological valves have been significantly improved in the aspects of anti-calcification treatment, anti-metabolism, material quality control, valve frame mechanics design, and leaflet sewing technology, and the application effect is improved; on the other hand, surgeons should adapt to the new concept changes, and correctly understand and rationally apply biological valves, master valve repair, atrial fibrillation ablation and other techniques, combined with interventional, minimally invasive techniques, etc., according to the specific conditions of the disease and choose the surgery type to ensure the patients' long-term life quality.
中国是心脏瓣膜病发病率较高的国家之一，但在过去，由于大多数患者是患有风湿性心脏病的年轻患者，生物瓣膜在中国的应用受到限制。生物瓣膜在中国具有良好的应用前景。一方面，新一代生物瓣膜在抗钙化处理、抗代谢、材料质量控制、瓣架力学设计和瓣叶缝制技术等方面有了显著的改进，应用效果得到了提高；另一方面，外科医生应适应新理念的变化，正确理解和合理应用生物瓣膜，掌握瓣膜修复、房颤消融等技术，并结合介入、微创等技术，根据具体病情选择手术类型，以保证患者的长期生活质量。
