Pathology of the formalin-treated heterograft porcine aortic valve in the mitral position.
was performed on two of the failed heterograft valves and three control pig valves. Failure of the heterograft was due to stretching and deformation of the cusps with resultant valvular incompetence. Stretching of the cusp was a result of reduction in the amount of its collagen content. The elastic tissue appeared little altered. A microscopic layer of fibrin thrombus was present on the surface...
متن کاملPhonocardiographic manifestations of heterograft valve dysfunction in the mitral area.
Phonocardiographic and pathological features of mitral porcine aortic heterograft valve failure are described in 1o patients with rheumatic valvular disease. Six had isolated mitralporcine aortic heterograft valve; 3 also had one in the aortic area; one had this in both mitral and tricuspid areas with an aortic ball valve prosthesis. Allpatients had systolic murmurs at the apex indicative of mi...
متن کاملBiaxial mechanical properties of the natural and glutaraldehyde treated aortic valve cusp--Part I: Experimental results.
To date, there are no constitutive models for either the natural or bioprosthetic aortic valve (AV), in part due to experimental complications related to the AV's small size and heterogeneous fibrous structure. In this study, we developed specialized biaxial testing techniques for the AV cusp, including a method to determine the local structure-strain relationship to assess the effects of bound...
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 کاملHeterograft aortic valve replacement: initial follow-up studies.
Twenty-three patients have had calf or pig heterograft aortic valve replacements. Eight of these patients have required Starr-Edwards mitral ball-valve prostheses for associated mitral valve disease. There have been two hospital deaths and one late death. The 20 surviving patients have shown symptomatic improvement. Clinical evidence of incompetence is present in one patient. Pre-operative and ...
