In-Depth Information
modified adipic dihydrazide hyaluronic acid has been proposed to be grafted on to
glutaraldehyde-treated bovine pericardium (Ohri et al., 2004). Calcifications decreased
considerably with this post-treatment compared to the control group at two weeks following a
subcutaneous implantation in mice.
5. Applications of the pericardium as a biomaterial
So far, the pericardium has been mostly used for cardio-vascular applications, i.e. vascular
grafts (Schmidt & Baier, 2000; Chvapil et al., 1970; Matsagas et al., 2006; Menasche et al.,
