A combination of hydrogen bonding and chemical covalent crosslinking to fabricate a novel swim-bladder-derived dry heart valve material yields advantageous mechanical and biological properties
Abstract
The current biological valve products used in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are mainly made of glutaraldehyde (GLUT)-crosslinked porcine and bovine pericardia, which need to be transported and stored in GLUT solution. This leads to prolonged preparation time and the presence of GLUT residue. Therefore, there has been interest in developing TAVR valves using a pre-crimped valve (also known as a dry valve). Herein, a natural,...
