Remodeling of ECM patch into functional myocardium in an ovine model: A pilot study
Previous studies have demonstrated that surgical patches comprised of small intestinal submucosa-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) have biological remodeling potential. This pilot study investigated histological, mechanical, and bioelectrical properties of an ECM patch implanted in the ovine right-...

Zusammenfassung: | Previous studies have demonstrated that surgical patches comprised of small intestinal submucosa-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) have biological remodeling potential. This pilot study investigated histological, mechanical, and bioelectrical properties of an ECM patch implanted in the ovine right-ventricular outflow tract (RVOT).
ECM patches (2 × 2 cm
) were implanted in four Western Range sheep (wether males, 37-49 kg, age |
