Performance changes of venous valves following tissue treatment with novel in vitro system.

Conclusions The developed in vitro model was shown to be an effective method for measuring the performance of venous valves. The observed decrease in geometric orifice area following glutaraldehyde treatment indicates a decrease in flow through the valve, demonstrating the consequences of traditional tissue treatment methods.
