    摘要: A process for preparing pliable soft tissue specimen which are resistant to cracking and devoid of viable cells includes the steps of treating native soft tissue obtained from a donor by a gradually increasing gradient of aliphatic alcohol or other suitable water miscible polar organic solvent until the last alcohol (or other solvent) solution has at least 25% by volume of the organic liquid. Thereafter, the tissue specimen is treated with a solution containing glycerol or low molecular weight (

    摘要: An anatomically designed atrioventricular valve is made of biologically compatible synthetic membrane or biological membrane of autologous, homologous or heterologous origin. A single piece of the selected membrane material is trimmed so as to form two unequal sheaths similar to the normal anterior and posterior mammalian mitral valve leaflets with a wide upper base to be sutured to the host's mitral annulus. These two leaflets are prolonged and tapered into two thin bands to be connected to the papillary muscles serving as replacements for the natural marginal chordae tendinae of the normal mitral valve. The two lateral sides of the membrane are joined to form a truncated cone with a wider upper circular base and a narrow extremity formed by the thin chordal bands. A set of sutures are placed between selected points at the base of the cone and the two thin prolongations serving as replacements for the strut or stay basal chords of the natural mitral valve. Thus, the mitral valve prosthesis is anatomical because it is stentless, bicuspid and supported by marginal and basal chordae. Obturators and sizers in the configuration of rods of varying diameter, to measure the host's valve annulus diameter and select the appropriate size of the prosthesis are used during implantation of the prosthesis. A rod shaped holder maintains the prosthesis during implantation, and a curved bodied measuring instrument is used to determine the precise location where the chordae tendinae of the prosthesis are to be sutured to the papillary muscles of a recipient mammal.

    摘要: A pair of templates form a mold for substantially flat biological membranes to shape the membrane into a configuration that, after trimming of excess tissue, is adapted for forming a replacement aortic, pulmonary, tricuspid or mitral heart valve. Each template has three members joined to another laterally, with each member configured to form, together with its mating member, the mold for one leaflet or cusp of the replacement heart valve. The negative template has concave surfaces for each member and the positive template has convex surfaces which mate with the concave surfaces of the first template. Each of the templates is made of thin, shell like material and has beveled edges. The biological membrane is placed between the mating convex and concave surfaces of the two templates assembled to one another to form the membrane into the configuration of the three leaflets of the replacement heart valve.

    摘要: The invention relates to a bioprosthetic heart valve having leaflets affixed to a substantially absorpable stent. The leaflets can be derived from a biological membrane which is affixed to the absorbable stent. The leaflets can also be derived from a sigmoid valve of human or animal origin, the sigmoid valve being placed inside the absorbable stent and affixed thereto. Methods of treatment using the bioprosthetic heart valve and methods of making the valve are also provided.

    摘要: An aqueous solution containing a water miscible organic solvent, polyethylene glycol and heparine, is used to modify the tissue reactivity of an autologous tissue freshly obtained from a host mammal and to render the tissue temporarily more rigid than in its native state, and better suited for shaping, molding, handling and cutting prior to implantation into the host patient. The implant is highly resistant or immune to thickening, contraction and reduced fibrin deposition after it is implanted and exposed to the bloodstream of the host.

    摘要: In annuloplastic surgery, the holder which supports the annuloplasty ring during the suturing of the ring to a heart valve annulus is released from its handle, and reattached for subsequent removal, without rotary or axially compressive stress on the holder. This is accomplished by inserting laterally movable locking tabs from the handle into the holder. The locking tabs are the ends of a Y-shaped clip which translates the axial movement of a locking button on the handle into a transverse holder-engaging movement.
