Pig heart valve replacements are preserved tissue with far fewer rejection issues while pig kidney transplants are live tissue with lots of rejection issues to resolve.

I understand. I watched a program on YouTube once where they were
“Stripping” human hearts of their DNA somehow and preparing them to receive, I don’t remember now, some genetic material (?) to prepare that heart for transplantation into a recipient. The research they are doing today is really fascinating.
