Key result
Decellularised allogenic aortic valves implanted in juvenile sheep demonstrated excellent functional outcomes, preserved structural integrity, and advanced endothelial repopulation at 5 months.
Why the study?
Does implantation of decellularised allogenic aortic valves in the subcoronary position provide good functional performance and structural maturation in juvenile sheep?

Akhyari et al. (2010) studied Aortic valve replacement (n=5). Decellularised allogenic aortic valves (dAoVs) was evaluated on Functional performance and structural maturation. Decellularised allogenic aortic valves implanted in juvenile sheep demonstrated excellent functional outcomes, preserved structural integrity, and advanced endothelial repopulation at 5 months.
