May favor zero-pressure fixation in bioprosthetic design; leaves open effects on durability and clinical outcomes.
Zero-pressure glutaraldehyde fixation of aortic valves preserves leaflet mechanics better than fixation under pressure, more closely mimicking native valve function.
G. W. Christie (1992) studied this question.
