Improved Fixation Method for Bioprosthetic Heart Valves
Bioprosthetic Heart Valves can replace defective or diseased heart valves, but a majority of these valves fail within a few years due to calcification and degeneration. Currently used methods of fixation, such as glutaraldehyde crosslinking, are not adequate to fix all extracellular matrix components, especially glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) present in...
