Effect of decellularization on the structural and mechanical properties of porcine valvular matrices.

Tissue engineered valves have the potential of being an ideal valve substitute for transplants, as research shows that mechanical valves carry the risk of thromboembolism. Unlike mechanical heart valves, tissue engineered valves possess excellent hemodynamics qualities, and shares the same biomec...
