What type of Aortic Valve would you recommend for a SLE Lupus Patient

What type of Aortic Valve would you recommend for a SLE Lupus Patient

I have SLE LUPUS.  I need to have my aortic Valve replaced soon.  I don't want to have a mechanical valve do to the restriction with blood thinner.  My surgeon has recommeded the Pig or Cow Valve.  After seeing my Lupus Specialist.  He is not sure that is the way to go with a lupus patient.  He has seen Lupus patients reject the pig valve quickly. So, we are reseaching the Ross Procedure to see if this is another option.  I have looked on the internet and have not have much luck with my question.  A few things I have found were very old.  Any help or opinions on this matter would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks
