Title: Experimental atrioventricular bioprosthetic valve insertion: a simple and successful technique. Author: Gallo I, Frater RW. Journal: Thorac Cardiovasc Surg; 1983 Oct; 31(5):288-90. PubMed ID: 6196862. Abstract: Animal testing has become mandatory for the development of new prosthetic heart valves. It is very expensive. Low mortality and morbidity are essential in controlling costs. A simple technique for atrioventricular valve replacement in dogs and sheep that includes normothermic cardiopulmonary bypass, the maintenance of a beating heart and the avoidance of excision of the natural valve is described. Results have been excellent.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
