William Harvey of Folkestone, in Kent, discovered the homograft rejection, leading to organ transplantation using azathioprine.
12.
Many homograft valves are sterilized with ethylene oxide or irradiation methods recognized to have deleterious effects on valve performance.
13.
The results of the pulmonary autograft procedure are likely to be superior with the use of fresh homograft valves.
14.
"' Decellularized homografts "'are donated human heart valves which have been modified via tissue engineering.
15.
The implant is a homograft, which is made from either the aorta or pulmonary artery of a child who has died.
16.
A pulmonary homograft ( pulmonary valve taken from a cadaver ) is then used to replace the patient's own pulmonary valve.
17.
Homografts ( aortic or pulmonary ) should be the replacement of choice; no other valve performed as well in the pulmonary position.
18.
The assistance is for those children who need to undergo open heart homograft surgery which costs between RM25, 000 and RM30, 000.
19.
Taking the earlier research of R . D . Owen into consideration, they concluded that actively acquired tolerance of homografts could be artificially reproduced.
20.
He worked at the Harefield Hospital, UK, under Sir Magdi Yacoub involving himself with adult cardiac surgery including heart and lung transplant and aortic homografts.
