The main reason for discarding tissue was macroscopic morphology followed by microbiological results, for both valves and arteries. Altogether, 4360 tissues were distributed for transplantation: 2032 (47%) vascular segments, 1545 (35%) pulmonary valves and 781 (18%) aortic valves. The most common indication for aortic valve surgery was the treatment of endocarditis, while for pulmonary valves, it was congenital malformation reconstruction. Vascular segments were mainly used for reconstruction after ischemia. During this period, a number of changes were made with the goal of enhancing tissue quality, safety and efficacy. These improvements were achieved through the use of a new antibiotic cocktail, increasing of donor age criteria and changing the microbiological control strategy.</p>","PeriodicalId":9723,"journal":{"name":"Cell and Tissue Banking","volume":" ","pages":"11-26"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2024-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9970124/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10861453","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The primary objective of this study was to investigate the differences between fresh, frozen, and vitrified porcine lateral menisci examining compressive mechanical properties in the axial direction. Unconfined compressive stress-relaxation testing was conducted to quantify the mechanical properties of fresh, frozen and vitrified porcine lateral menisci. The compressive mechanical properties investigated were peak and equilibrium stress, secant, instantaneous and equilibrium modulus, percent stress-relaxation, and relaxation time constants from three-term Prony series. Frozen menisci exhibited inferior compressive mechanical properties in comparison with fresh menisci (significant differences in peak and equilibrium stress, and secant, instantaneous and equilibrium modulus) and vitrified menisci (significant differences in peak stress, and secant and instantaneous modulus). Interestingly, fresh and vitrified menisci exhibited comparable compressive mechanical properties (stress, modulus and relaxation parameters). These findings are significant because (1) vitrification was successful in maintaining mechanical properties at values similar to fresh menisci, (2) compressive mechanical properties of fresh menisci were characterized providing a baseline for future research, and (3) freezing affected mechanical properties confirming that freezing should be used with caution in future investigations of meniscal mechanical properties.
