In the fabrication of a bioprosthetic heart valve from bovine pa'cardial tissues, the tissues are subjected to suturing. The stress-strain response of sutured as well as unsutured strips of this tissue were examined. The stress-strain response was o!etermined using a tensile-testing machine. It was
The mechanical behavior of calf pericardium employed in the manufacture of cardiac bioprostheses was assessed according to the region from which it was selected. For this purpose, selected samples of the tissue were sewn with different types of commercially available sutures and subjected to tensile
There is concern that delayed glutaraldehyde treatment of bioprosthetic tissue could potentiate calcification by autolytic generation of mineralization nuclei. This study investigated the effects on mineralization of variable delays between harvest of bovine pericardium and initial glutaraldehyde tr
