Abstract:
CardioCel® is bovine pericardium which is subjected to a novel tissue engineering process (ADAPT®) to reduce cytotoxicity and retard calcification while maintaining strength and elasticity. We present a case where CardioCel® showed rapid degeneration and calcification after repair of an aortic valve.
