PLASTICS OF DEFECTS OF THE DURA MATER OF THE ENDOPROSTHESIS "CARDIOPLANT": AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY
An experimental study on the possible closure of defects of the dura mater prosthesis of biological origin. In experiment on 3 pigs was made plastic of dura with xenopericardial plate «Cardioplant» using. Results of experiment on animals evaluated after 90th day. On microscopic examination of the implantation xenopericardial plate marked efficient processes of biodegradation and biointegration. There were no adhesions of the implant to the surface of the brain. Planned to continue the experiment to study tissue reaction in the later stages after implantation and determine the suitability of xenopericardial plate «Cardioplant» in clinical practice.
