Abstract Background: Autologous pericardium is widely used as a plastic material in intracardiac structures, in the pulmonary artery, and in aortic valve leaflets. For aortic valve reconstruction (AVRec) using the Ozaki procedure, it has produced excellent clinical results within a 10-year period. In-body tissue architecture (iBTA), which is based on the phenomenon of tissue encapsulation of foreign materials, can be used to prepare autologous prosthetic tissues. In this preliminary study, we examined whether biosheets can be used as valve leaflet material for glutaraldehyde-free AVRec by subchronic implantation experiments in goats and evaluated its performance compared with glutaraldehyde-treated autologous pericardium for AVRec. Methods: Biosheets were prepared by embedding molds for two months into the dorsal subcutaneous spaces of goats. Allogenic biosheets (n=4) cut into the shape of the valve were then implanted to the aortic valve annulus of four goats for three months without glutaraldehyde treatment. Autologous pericardium (n=4) was used as a control. Valve function was observed using echocardiography. Results: All goats survived the three-month study period. In biosheets, the leaflet surfaces were very smooth and, on histology, partially covered with a thin neointima (including endothelial cells). Biosheets were more thoroughly assimilated into the aortic root compared with autologous pericardium.Conclusions: For the first time, biosheets could be used for large animal AVRec without glutaraldehyde fixation. In this limited preliminary study, it was found that biosheets had superior engraftment and regeneration performance as an aortic valve leaflet material compared with autologous pericardium.

Introduction: The first choice of vascular access for hemodialysis is an autogenous arteriovenous fistula, because prosthetic arteriovenous grafts have a high probability of failure. In this study, Biotubes, in-body tissue architecture–induced autologous collagenous tubes, were evaluated for their potential use as vascular access grafts. Three animal implantation models were developed using beagle dogs, and the in vivo performance of Biotubes was observed after implantation in the acute phase as a pilot study. Methods: Biotubes (internal diameter ca. 4.0 mm, length ca. 5.0 cm, and wall thickness ca. 0.7 mm) were prepared through subcutaneous embedding of specially designed molds in beagle dogs for 8 weeks. The Biotubes were then implanted between the common carotid artery and the jugular vein of beagles via three methods, including side-to-side (in) -end-to-end (out) as type 1 (n = 4), side-to-side (both) as type 2 (n = 4), and side-to-end (in) -end-to-side (out) as type 3 (n = 1 using a composite Biotube). Results: Although two cases in type 1 and 2 resulted in Biotube deformation, all cases were patent for 4 weeks and maintained a continuous turbulent flow. At 4 weeks after implantation, percutaneous puncture could be performed repeatedly without aneurysm formation or hemorrhage. Conclusion: Within a short implantation period, with limited animal numbers, this proof-of-concept study showed that Biotubes may have a high potential for use in vascular access.
