Alteration of inflammatory response by shock wave therapy leads to reduced calcification of decellularized aortic xenografts in mice

Home > Cardiology > Alteration of inflammatory response by shock wave therapy leads to reduced calcification of decellularized aortic xenografts in mice

Tissue-engineered xenografts represent a promising treatment option in heart valve disease. However, inflammatory response leading to graft failure and incomplete in vitro repopulation with recipient cells remain challenging. Shock waves (SWs) were shown to modulate inflammation and to enhance re-epithelialization. We therefore aimed to investigate whether SWs could serve as a feasible adjunct to tissue engineering.
