Entry term(s) bioprótesis de heteroinjertos
bioprótesis de xenoinjerto
bioprótesis de xenoinjerto porcino
injertos estabilizados con glutaraldehído
Scope note: Prótesis, por lo general válvulas cardíacas, compuestas de materiales biológicos y cuya durabilidad depende de la estabilidad del material después del pretratamiento, más que de la regeneración por crecimiento de las células del huésped. La durabilidad se consigue: 1) mecánicamente, por la interposición de una tela, generalmente de politetrafluoroetileno entre el huésped y el injerto, y 2) químicamente, por estabilización del tejido por unión intermolecular, generalmente con glutaraldehído, después de la eliminación de componentes antigénicos o el empleo de biopolímeros reconstituidos y reestructurados.

Scope note: Prosthesis, usually heart valve, composed of biological material and whose durability depends upon the stability of the material after pretreatment, rather than regeneration by host cell ingrowth. Durability is achieved 1, mechanically by the interposition of a cloth, usually polytetrafluoroethylene, between the host and the graft, and 2, chemically by stabilization of the tissue by intermolecular linking, usually with glutaraldehyde, after removal of antigenic components, or the use of reconstituted and restructured biopolymers.
Annotation: coordinate IM with specific prosthetic term (IM) as BIOPROSTHESIS + HEART VALVE PROSTHESIS; do not specify source of biological material unless especially discussed & do not coordinate with TRANSPLANTATION, HETEROLOGOUS
