Abstract

Porcine small intestinal submucosa extracellular matrix (SIS-ECM) is a relatively novel tissue substitute used in cardiovascular applications. We investigated the long term biological reaction and remodeling of SIS-ECM substitute in a 53 years-old woman who underwent heart transplant after multiple reoperation after repair for complete atrioventricular septal defect.

Keywords: Porcine Small Intestinal Submucosa Extracellular Matrix (SIS-ECM); Quality; Valve
