title: Electron microscopic and x-ray microanalytic evaluation of cardiac valve bioprostheses.
abstract: The importance of the study of the subcellular structure of cardiac valve bioprostheses by means of scanning and transmission electron microscopy and x-ray microanalysis lies in the data it may provide for morphology, physiology, biochemistry, and pathology, as well as in clinical and surgical application.
