Calcification is the most frequent cause of the clinical failure of bovine pericardium bioprosthetic valves, preventing their widespread application for surgical treatment. The aim of this study was to minimize calcific degeneration in bovine pericardium by using a chelating agent, ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA). Freshly excised bovine pericardium was dissected free from adhering fat tissue and cut into 1-cm(2) pieces that were rinsed in phosphate-buffered saline solution (PBS) and transferred into 4 degrees C PBS containing 1% glutaraldehyde (GA) for initial fixation, then allocated into two groups. Group I received the same treatment in a fresh solution for 5 more days. Group II underwent an additional fixation step in PBS solution (pH 7.4, 37 degrees C) containing 11% EDTA for a period of 48 h (30 ml/g tissue) and was then transferred into freshly prepared PBS + 1% GA solution at 37 degrees C for another 3 days. To investigate the calcification rate, pericardial patches were inserted into the dorsal pouches of 25 male Wistar rats for 21 days. Calcium levels were measured with an atomic absorption spectrophotometer and examined histo-pathologically. The calcium content of EDTA-treated pericardium (Group II), 21 +/- 3.8 microg/mg, was significantly lower than that of Group I, 43.3 +/- 9.2 microg/mg. Assessment of the degree of calcification in the histological sections generally agreed well with the results of the chemical analyses. Calcium deposition in Group I samples were found to be solid mineral depositions, whereas in the Group II pericardial samples, only smaller traces of calcium were found. Calcific degeneration in bovine pericardium can be reduced by using chelates such as EDTA.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008297 Male Males
D010496 Pericardium A conical fibro-serous sac surrounding the HEART and the roots of the great vessels (AORTA; VENAE CAVAE; PULMONARY ARTERY). Pericardium consists of two sacs: the outer fibrous pericardium and the inner serous pericardium. The latter consists of an outer parietal layer facing the fibrous pericardium, and an inner visceral layer (epicardium) resting next to the heart, and a pericardial cavity between these two layers.

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.

D001705 Bioprosthesis Prosthesis, usually heart valve, composed of biological material and whose durability depends upon the stability of the material after pretreatment, rather than regeneration by host cell ingrowth. Durability is achieved 1, mechanically by the interposition of a cloth, usually polytetrafluoroethylene, between the host and the graft, and 2, chemically by stabilization of the tissue by intermolecular linking, usually with glutaraldehyde, after removal of antigenic components, or the use of reconstituted and restructured biopolymers.
