Key result
Differential pressure gradient perfusion decellularization of porcine aortic roots yielded fully acellular constructs with preserved structural integrity and excellent valve functionality.
A novel differential pressure gradient perfusion system effectively decellularizes porcine aortic roots while preserving structural integrity and valve functionality, advancing tissue-engineered heart valve development.

Hypothesis-generating for tissue-engineered valves; leaves open clinical translation pending in vivo validation.
Sierad et al. (2015) studied this question. Differential pressure gradient perfusion decellularization vs. Immersion decellularization was evaluated on Decellularization completeness, tissue integrity, and valve functionality. Differential pressure gradient perfusion decellularization of porcine aortic roots yielded fully acellular constructs with preserved structural integrity and excellent valve functionality.
