Glutaraldehyde-crosslinked bovine pericardium is widely used in bioprosthetic heart valve fabrication. In an attempt to set a scientific basis for more reproducible tissue selection, we produced and analyzed topographical maps of glutaraldehyde-treated bovine pericardium. Whole pericardia were divid
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
## Abstract Uniaxial tensile tests were performed on glutaraldehyde fixed bovine pericardial strips prepared from chemically modified pericardial samples. These samples originated from an area which demonstrated anisotropic mechanical properties in the native material and which is suitable for the
Calcification of glutaraldehyde-preserved bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) results in their clinical failure. The mechanism of this pathologic calcification is not well defined. Since serum proteins are known to be taken up in mineralized tissue, we hypothesized that serum proteins derived from sev
