Effect of cryopreservation on the degree of safety of histological structure of alloperikardium
It is possible to use a donor pericardium as a plastic material during cardiac surgery. In order to maximize the preservation of the native structure of allopericardium for a long time cryopreservation method can be used. This technology eliminates the use of aggressive chemical agents as glutaraldehyde, which promotes excessive calcification of biological tissues in the long term.
