摘要
The biological heart prostheses present midterm and long term problems owing to the progressive deterioration and calcification of the tissue. In the attempt to study the latter problem, we have compared the effectiveness of anticalcification treatments in calf pericardium samples implanted into female Wistar rats after undergoing the following procedures: Group 1, control, treatment with glutaraldehyde; group 11, treated with 0.1 M Al3+ for 24 h; and group 111, subjected to lipid removal by chemical treatment with chloroform/methanol for 1 h. Positive results were obtained with both treatments, but the results after 60 days of implantation were more favourable with lipid removal than with Al3+ treatment.
