In this study, we examined separately calcification of cusps (C) and associated aortic wall (AW) of 38 (13 aortic and 25 mitral) porcine bioprosthetic heart valves explanted from 37 patients (ages 25-80 years, mean 59) for structural dysfunction, following 54-210 months (mean 125 months aortic, 119

The effectiveness of ethanol pretreatment on preventing calcification of glutaraldehyde-fixed porcine aortic bioprosthetic heart valve (BPHV) cusps was previously demonstrated, and the mechanism of action of ethanol was attributed in part to both lipid removal and a specific collagen conformational
Calcification of bioprosthetic heart valves fabricated from glutaraldehyde pretreated bovine pericardium or porcine aortic valves (PAV) is a frequent cause of the failure of these devices. Of all strategies considered thus far, only detergent preincubations using compounds such as sodium dodecyl sul
