Observations on glutaraldehyde-treated heterologous cardiac valves.
Recent publications on commercial porcine bioprosthetic cardiac valves have stated that the endothelium disappears during the glutaraldehyde processing and that in many cases histological evidence of early tissue deterioration was found. Our experiences have shown that porcine aortic valves can be processed in glutaraldehyde without loss of the integrity of the endothelium and with the developm...
متن کاملAlkaline phosphatase activity of glutaraldehyde-treated bovine pericardium used in bioprosthetic cardiac valves.
Bioprosthetic valves fail frequently because of pathological mineralization, a process that begins in cell remnants of the glutaraldehyde (GLUT) fixed tissue. Other pathological cardiovascular calcification and physiological mineralization in skeletal/dental tissues are both largely initiated in cell-derived membranous structures (often called "matrix vesicles"), and the enzyme alkaline phospha...
متن کاملSystemic absorption of 14C-glutaraldehyde from glutaraldehyde-treated pulpotomy sites.
The purpose of this research was to measure the. systemic absorption and distribution of glutaraldehyde from pulpotomy sites in dogs. Pulpotomies were performed on the incisors and canines of 5 mongrel dogs. A cotton pellet containing 20 ~1 of 2.5% "4C-(1,5) glutaraldehyde with an activity 6.25 x 105 dpm/~l was placed in each pulpotomy site for 5 rain. Whole blood samples, urine, and expired ai...
متن کاملInfluence of fixation conditions on the performance of glutaraldehyde-treated porcine aortic valves: towards a more scientific basis.
To maintain optimum mechanical properties in glutaraldehyde-treated heart-valve tissue the full collagen crimp geometry originally present in the relaxed fresh tissue should be retained. By varying the pressure at which glutaraldehyde fixation is carried out, considerable alterations to this crimp geometry can be achieved. The mechanical stiffness of the preserved tissue is consequently affecte...
متن کاملPCR detection of bacteria on cardiac valves of patients with treated bacterial endocarditis.
We used broad-range PCR amplification and sequencing to detect and identify bacterial DNA in 156 valves of patients treated for infective endocarditis (IE). Bacterial DNA was found more frequently in patients who underwent valve replacement while on antibiotic treatment for IE (60%) than in patients who had completed antibiotic treatment for IE (37%; P = 0.02). We found specific bacterial DNA i...
