Hemocompatibility of Bioprosthetic valve in bovine pericardium is based on fibrin formation and its endothelization

ConclusionHealthy BV implanted with C-TAH enabled us to study, for the first time, non-degenerated implanted valve in human. Biomaterial passivation by an organized fibrin deposit and formation of EC monolayer on top achieve an optimal hemocompatibility without any modification of pericardial tissue.
