Effect of glutaraldehyde based cross-linking on the viscoelasticity of mitral valve basal chordae tendineae

BACKGROUND: Mitral valve failure can require repair or replacement. Replacement bioprosthetic valves are treated with glutaraldehyde prior to implantation. The aim of this study was to determine the changes in mechanical properties following glutaraldehyde fixation of mitral valve chordae. METHODS:...
