New York, NY -- (SBWire) -- 12/22/2021 --Pediatric patients in need of a valve replacement have historically had few options. There are two solutions that have traditionally been put forward - a purely mechanical valve, which comes with an increased risk of blood clots, and a valve that has been made from animal tissues (a bioprosthetic valve). The major issue that most children have faced with both of these options is outgrowing them. Even the bioprosthetic valve will stop growing once it has been treated to ensure that it is not rejected by the child's immune system. Finding a material that can evolve and grow as a heart valve inside a young patient has been a mission for more than 20 years. Now, a new type of artificial heart valve has been developed that, when transplanted into lambs, actually grew inside the animal. This presents the potential of a valve that can grow with the patient and potentially be populated by their own cells.
