A, Decellularized porcine heart valve impregnated with biodegradable poly(hydroxy)butyrate to reduce xenoreactivity and improve hemocompatibility and mechanical performance for a limited time. B, Note that polymer impregnation process preserves porosity of decellularized ECM scaffold, so that repopulation with host cells is not disturbed.
