Evolving Bioprosthetic Tissue Calcification Can Be Quantified Using Serial Multislice CT Scanning

Background. We investigated the value of serial multislice CT scanning for in vivo determination of evolving tissue calcification in three separate experimental settings. Materials and Methods. Bioprosthetic valve tissue was implanted in three different conditions: (1) glutaraldehyde-fixed porcine s...
