Despite improved anticalcification technology, bioprosthetic heart valves still cannot be used in younger patients because of progressive structural valve degeneration. A novel advanced tissue preservation technology was developed that uses stable functional group capping and preservation by glycerolization. Valves incorporating this novel technology can be stored in a dry condition and do not require rinsing before use. The aim of the study was to assess the effects of this new technology in terms of valve function and durability in a chronic sheep model of orthotopic implantation.status: publishe
