In Vitro Calcification of Bioprosthetic Heart Valves: Method Validation by Comparative Heart Valve Calcification Testing
We developed and validated a novel and unique test method for in vitro calcification assessment. The quantitative calcification tendencies of the two test groups are comparable with the results of an in vivo study in sheep. The structural findings are in line with published in vivo observations. The histomorphological localization appears as known for porcine prostheses.
