Alkaline 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 کاملComparative hydrodynamic evaluation of bioprosthetic heart valves.
BACKGROUND AND AIM OF STUDY Pressure gradients across cardiac valve prostheses have been identified as one of the most important performance measures in valve replacement surgery. Specifically in aortic valves, these gradients influence reduction of left ventricular hypertrophy and are postulated to influence long-term survival. The correct choice of replacement valve is hampered by a lack of u...
متن کاملBalloon dilatation of porcine bioprosthetic valves in the pulmonary position.
Balloon dilatation (BD) of bioprosthetic valves was investigated in vivo and in vitro. Four children with stenotic bioprosthetic porcine valves in the pulmonary position underwent BD of the valve 10 to 24 months after its insertion. Average valve gradient was reduced from 47.5 to 27 mm Hg. Obstruction at the conduit-branch pulmonary artery connection became apparent after dilatation of the valv...
متن کاملIn vitro comparative assessment of decellularized bovine pericardial patches and commercial bioprosthetic heart valves.
Notwithstanding their wide exploitation, biological prosthetic heart valves are characterized by limited durability (10-15 years). The treatment of biological tissues with chemical crosslinking agents such as glutaraldehyde accounts for the enhanced risk of structural deterioration associated with the early failure of bioprosthetic valves. To overcome the shortcomings of the currently available...
