European clinical study for the application of regenerative heart valves (ESPOIR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Acquired and congenital heart disease can necessitate heart valve replacement. However, current heart valve substitutes are not considered ideal as they need anticoagulation, bearing the risk of bleeding when manufactured from non-organic material, or they degenerate when they derive from animals or human tissue donators (homografts) thereby leading to frequent reoperation especially in the young ...
