A process of applying thermal energy using a controlled regimen is described to reduce the size of biological xenograft and allograft heart and vascular tissue, particularly heart valves, which are used for implants by applying a controlled regimen of thermal energy, and the related implant products, apparatuses and systems. In a particular embodiment, a xenograft or allograft heart valve experiences size reduction and fits the size requirements of a recipient into whom the heart valve is being implanted.
