Bioprosthetic xenopericardium preserved with di- and penta-epoxy compounds: molecular cross-linking mechanisms, surface features and mechanical properties

Background. Heart valve bioprostheses made from glutaraldehyde-treated bovine and porcine pericardia are widely used in open and transcatheter valve surgeries. However, the glutaraldehyde cross-linkage leads to bioprosthetic calcification in many patients. Epoxides are advantageous alternatives to g...
