Evolving Bioprosthetic Tissue Calcification Can Be Quantified Using Serial Multislice CT Scanning
Figure 3
(a) shows a representative example of the CT scan obtained in the patch model at 4 months. Calcification of the patches in both venous position (upper arrow) and arterial position (lower arrow) is visible. (b) and (c) show the evolution of mean HU and mean calcium volume over time, in both the venous and arterial samples.
