title: [The effect of glutaraldehyde preparations on the properties of biological heart valve prostheses].
abstract: Changes in hydrodynamic properties of biological valve prostheses (37 aortic allotransplants, 40 pericardial allotransplants) induced by glutaraldehyde treatment were studied in vitro. With the exception of sufficiency, the majority of hydrodynamic characteristics exhibited significant deterioration after glutaraldehyde treatment when compared to the data in untreated valves. The value of the dynamic test of valve prostheses is pointed out.
