The legend for Figure 1 is incorrect. The correct legend can be viewed here.
Figure 1. Macroscopic appearance of TRICOL allogeneic aortic valve before and after implantation.
Allogeneic substitutes demonstrated similar gross morpho-anatomic structure to native valves without signs of leaflet fenestration, rupture or degeneration both after decellularization (A–B) and explant at 15 months (C–D).
