Abstract

CardioCel ® is bovine pericardium which is subjected to a novel tissue engineering process (ADAPT ® ) to reduce cytotoxicity and retard calcification while maintaining strength and elasticity. We present a case where CardioCel ® showed rapid degeneration and calcification after repair of an aortic valve.
