A stentless heterograft should be selected one size larger than the size of the left ventricular outflow tract.
With heterografts, the intense cellular infiltration and rapid breakdown of structures was noted.
A fibrin clot may also be used to hold the substantially non-immunogenic articular cartilage heterograft in place.
Fortunately, the risk of a re-operation for a heterograft, particularly a first re-operation, has been extremely low in experienced hands so we're not reluctant to do that.
These results suggest that decellularized heterografts may have some regenerative capacity and thus potentially greater durability than conventional cryopreserved homografts.
