Pulmonary valve annulus growth

no changein pigs1

1 study
  1. Vitrified partial heart transplantation has no effect on pulmonary valve annulus growth in pigs (Difference in slopes = -0.005 [-0.010, 0.000] cm/day, p = 0.065).

    “The vitrified PHT cohort showed steady valvular growth (Slope = 0.003 [-0.000, 0.006] cm/day, p = 0.095), matching fresh PHT (Difference in slopes = -0.005 [-0.010, 0.000] cm/day, p = 0.065)”

Pulmonary valve gradient growth

no changein pigs1

1 study
  1. Vitrified partial heart transplantation has no effect on pulmonary valve gradient growth in pigs (Difference in slopes = 0.225 [-0.070, 0.521] mmHg/day, p = 0.166).

    “There is no statistically significant difference in the post-operative growth of gradient for vitrified cohort (Slope = 0.262 [0.113, 0.411] mmHg/day, p < 0.001) compared to fresh PHT cohort”
