Learning TheUses and Advantages of Bovine Pericardium Tissue
Bovine Pericardial patches are beneficial in many ways than prosthetic patches such as easy handling, superior biocompatibility, less suture line bleeding and reduced infection rates. Bovine pericardium is commonly used during cardiac and vascular surgery. The long-term outcomes of Bovine Pericardium Tissue are documented poorly and require careful interpretation whether the long term results are connected to the material or to the surgery in which it has been used. For instance, it is not clear whether or not restenosis is related directly to the patch or it is inevitable after carotid endarterectomy. The structure There are three layers of bovine pericardium structure · The serosa It is the inner fine layer that consists of mesothelial cells · The fibrosa Wavy bundles of elastin and collagen that are diversely oriented form this thicker layer · The epipericardial connective tissue layer It is the outermost layer, partially incessant with t
