Retention of an Autologous Endothelial Layer on a Bioprosthetic Valve for the Treatment of Chronic Deep Venous Insufficiency

Endothelial monolayers seeded on SIS were retained under loading and delivery, in vitro flow, and ex vivo flow. EOCs are a promising cell source for autologous endothelialization of bioprosthetic valves for the treatment of CDVI.
