Figure 3:

(A) Aortic flow measurements of porcine control pulmonary autografts without reinforcement, as well as porcine and human pulmonary autografts using the inclusion technique with and without anti-commissural plications. The aortic flow profiles were overall similar among the five groups. Porcine control pulmonary autografts without reinforcement demonstrated increased flow reversal during diastole, suggesting increased valve regurgitation. (B) Pressure measurements of porcine control pulmonary autografts without reinforcement, as well as porcine and human pulmonary autografts using the inclusion technique with and without anti-commissural plications. The pressure tracings were overall similar among the five groups. Shaded regions represent standard deviation. ACP = anti-commissural plication.
