Hypothesis-generating for reduced toxicity in pericardial bioimplants; leaves open in vivo durability and clinical translation.
Does a combination of titanium coating and chemical detoxification improve endothelialization and reduce toxicity in glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium?
Titanium coating combined with chemical detoxification significantly reduces toxicity and enables complete endothelialization of glutaraldehyde-fixed bovine pericardium in vitro, potentially improving bioimplant durability.
Guldner et al. (2009) studied this question.
