| Research Abstract |
We have developed the autologous tissue heart valves (Biovalves) constructed by the simple, safe and economical in vivo tissue engineering without any use of specially clean facilities nor complicated procedures. A specially designed mold embedded in the subcutaneous space of rabbits, beagle dogs and goats were covered by autologous tissues for 4 weeks. After removal of the mold, tri-leaflet valvular shaped autologous tissues were formed. They were also built in the tube grafts for implantation to circulation systems. In the flow circuit, smooth valvular movements of the Biovalves (5 mm in diameter) constructed in the rabbits were observed. Their flow volume pattern was very close to that of native rabbit aortic valves. Biovalves (10-15 mm in diameter) were successfully implanted to the pulmonary valves in the allogeneic beagle model as a pilot experiment. Recently, they were composed to metallic stents for catheter intervention. In vivo tissue engineered “Biovalves” could be idealistic autologous heart valve prostheses with potentiality replacing the short-coming Homografts.
