Abstract:
This manuscript presents a published record of the use and efficacy of the extracellular matrix CorMatrix and why it may be superior to other materials used for aortic root enlargement. The potential benefits of an extracellular matrix are the natural ingrowth and development of native arterial cells and structure.

01:29The Extracellular Matrix
In order to maintain tissue organization, many animal cells are surrounded by structural molecules that make up the extracellular matrix (ECM). Together, the molecules in the ECM maintain the structural integrity of tissue as well as the remarkable specific properties of certain tissues.
Composition of the Extracellular Matrix
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is commonly composed of ground substance, a gel-like fluid, fibrous components, and many structurally and functionally diverse...
