Abstract
Cryopreserved-decellularized-glycerolized valves retained normal valve function, with absent leaflet and minimal wall calcifications 1 year postoperatively, as opposed to classically cryopreserved allografts. These results might be predictive of the prolonged durability and functionality of a cryopreserved-decellularized-glycerolized allograft valve.
