A preserved human heart valve used for transplantation into the heart. Freeman Hearts was the first to introduce this device to the area.
putting in human tissue - such as a valve or artery
tissue or organ transplanted from a donor of the same species but different genetic makeup; recipient's immune system must be suppressed to prevent rejection of the graft
a human valve which is cryogenically treated after it is donated
an aortic or pulmonic valve that has been removed from a donated human heart, preserved, antibiotic-treated, and frozen under sterile conditions
a tissue transplanted between genetically nonidentical individuals of the same species
a transplant from one animal to another of the same species, such as from man to man
a valve that is transplanted from a deceased person to a recipient
Material (usually human heart valves and arteries) donated from a human to be used during complex reconstructive surgery.
Also know as Allograft; a heart valve replacement using a human donor valve.
Tissue transplantation, or graft, from a donor of the same species as the recipient. Back to glossary index
A graft of tissue - for example a heart valve - taken from one body and put into another of the same species.
Human tissue ...usally cadaver tissue procured shortly after death and preserved with one of several freezing techniques. Since the donor is a different individual than the recipient, rejection can occur. Same meaning as the word "Allograft".
Donor and recipient of transplanted tissue are the same species (i.e., human)
A heart valve replacement using a human donor valve (also known as Allograft).
A graft taken from one human subject and trans-- planted to another.
