Repair of the abdominal wall with acellular bovine pericardial membranes - Part II - Histological and morphometric analyses [PDF]
Introduction: Histological analysis is the main tool for evaluating acellular bioprostheses, mostly on an experimental basis. The objective is to histologically analyze the acellular matrix of bovine pericardium in abdominal wall repairs implanted in ...

Early calcific degeneration of the St. Jude Medical Epic aortic bioprosthesis
This report highlights the need for close surveillance of bioprosthetic valves. Unaccountable degeneration of bioprosthetic valves can develop early after implantation and usually requires replacing the failed valve with a mechanical prosthesis.

Long-term survival following aortic valve replacement : the influence of age, prosthesis-patient mismatch and indexed effective orifice area [PDF]
Background: Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) has been linked to reduced long-term survival after aortic valve replacement. We studied the influence of age, PPM and indexed effective orifice area (iEOA) in this setting. Methods Patients (n=586) subjected

IntroductionCalcification is a main cause of bioprosthetic heart valves failure. It may be promoted by the inflammation developed in the glutaraldehyde (GA)-fixed cusps of the bioprosthesis. We tested the hypothesis that antagonizing the C-X-C chemokines

Long-Term outcomes and durability of the mitroflow aortic bioprosthesis [PDF]
[Abstract] Background. This study aims to determine the incidence and causes of structural valve deterioration (SVD) among all models of Mitroflow bioprostheses (A12/LX/DL), as well as to define their long-term clinical and hemodynamic performance ...

Replacement of pulmonary artery trunk in sheep using tubular valved heterograft in non-aldehydic preservation [PDF]
INTRODUCTION: The cardiac bioprostheses are related to thromboembolic events, infectious and degenerative diseases. Wear is mainly attributed to the denaturation of collagen. Glutaraldehyde, the predominant method of preservation of bioprostheses, favors

Abdominal wall repair with acellular bovine pericardial membranes - Part I - Clinical and radiological findings [PDF]
Introduction: Reducing recurrence rates significantly, the use of biomaterials as “reinforcement meshes” in the repair of different abdominal wall defects has become an almost mandatory routine for the success of these repairs.
