Recellularization of a novel off-the-shelf valve following xenogenic implantation into the right ventricular outflow tract.

Current research on valvular heart repair has focused on tissue-engineered heart valves (TEHV) because of its potential to grow similarly to native heart valves. Decellularized xenografts are a promising solution; however, host recellularization remains challenging. In this study, decellularized por...
