Different calcification modes in decellularized heart valves: A Von Kossa stain showed comparison between SPV Glu-fixed heart valves (upper image), porcine matrix (middle) and decellularized Kangroo matrix showing lowest calcification in the SPV samples for calcium in explant [75], B Von Kossa staining of (B-1) trypsin, (B-2) osmotic, (B-3) trypsin-osmotic, and (B-4) detergent-osmotic treated matrices seven days after implantation. Calcific deposits are only present in trypsin matrices (B-1), as indicated by black staining [49], C Pre-implantation histologic for model 700 SynerGrafte heart valves showed multiple calcific deposits within the matrix [81]
