… of surgical and transcatheter cardiac valve replacements. This study develops a new surgical
bioprosthesis, using porcine pericardial leaflets. Porcine pericardium was obtained from …

… that bovine pericardium has superior intrinsic biological properties for prosthetic valve
manufacture… it will in some applications be superior to the porcine aortic valve. Key Words: Bovine …

… Bovine pericardium (BP) has been identified as a choice biomaterial for the development
of surgical bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) and transcatheter aortic valves (TAV). …

… The primary outcome of interest in this analysis was bioprosthetic valve dysfunction. This
was defined as any clinically relevant valvular stenosis or insufficiency documented by …

… pericardial and porcine bioprostheses in terms of patient survival, valve survival, and valve-…
Thus, in the aortic position, pericardial valves compare with porcine valves up to 6 years, …

… Through the end of 2010, we had implanted 506 porcine and 2449 pericardial aortic valves
and 181 porcine and 163 pericardial mitral valves. The corresponding total and maximum …

… valve leaflet pericardial … porcine pericardial tissue would produce more consistent mechanical
properties, as areas with aligned collagen fibers are not consistently present in porcine …

… In the current study, the impact of various treatment conditions on uniaxial loading was
assessed in porcine pericardium and was contrasted to both native pericardium and native …

… The durability of bioprosthetic heart valve (BHV) devices, commonly made of bovine (BP)
and porcine (PP) pericardium tissue, is partly limited by device calcification and tissue …

… Surgical bioprosthetic heart valves (… pericardial tissue can be effectively used to manufacture
functional replacements and clearly provide the novel indication that porcine pericardium …
