Abstract:
Inoculation of cells derived from the aorta of Wistar rats on devitalized porcine aortic walls 2-4-fold reduced their calcinosis after subcutaneous implantation to Wistar rats. Inoculation of Wistar rat bone marrow mesenchymal cells selected by adhesion activity did not reduce tissue calcinosis. The results indicate good prospects of repopulation of devitalized heart valve and vessel transplants by recipient vascular cells for reducing transplant calcinosis and improvement of their biocompatibility.
