BACKGROUND: The reconstruction of heart valves provides substantial benefits, particularly in the pediatric population. We present our experience using decellularized extracellular matrix (dECM, CorMatrix® ) for aortic valve procedures.
METHODS: We retrospectively reviewed the case histories of 6 patients (aged from 2 months - 14 years) who underwent surgery for severe aortic valve stenosis (n = 4) or regurgitation (n = 2). Aortic valve repair was performed on all patients using dECM as a leaflet replacement or leaflet extension. Follow-ups were performed using echocardiography. Reoperation was necessary in 4 cases, and the dECM was explanted and examined histologically and immunohistochemically.
RESULTS: The early post-operative period was uneventful, and the scaffold fulfilled the mechanical requirements. Significant valve insufficiency developed in 5 patients during the post-operative period (119-441 days postoperatively). In all specimens, only a migration of inflammatory cells was identified, which induced structural and functional changes caused by the chronic inflammatory response.
CONCLUSIONS: Our results suggest a mixed immunological response of remodeling and inflammation following the implantation. The expected process of seeding/migration and remodeling of the bioscaffold into the typical 3-layered architecture were not observed in our explanted specimens.
