Abstract

A new antithrombogenic right ventricular (RV)-pulmonary artery (PA) valved conduit made from bovine jugular vein, crosslinked with glycerol polyglycidyl ether polyepoxy compound (PC), was developed. Results indicate that the valved conduit provided adequate antithrombogenicity by temporary slow heparin release, followed by endothelialization of the graft in a low pressure system a year after implantation. The valved conduit maintained its venous characteristics and provided satisfactory hemodynamics in the early post operative period.
