Objective: To evaluate the immunogenicity of bovine jugular vein conduits (BJVCs) treated with different cross-linking methods.
Methods: The BJVCs were treated with glutaradehyde (GA), dye-mediated photooxidation (DMP) and polyepoxy compound (PC) (n = 10). The tissue homogenates obtained from BJVCs treated with PC, GA, DMP, and fresh BJVCs, were mixed with the complete Freand adjavant to form the emulsive antigen, which were used to immunize rabbits correspondently. The antibody concentrations to BJVCs in those rabbits' serum were measured by counter double immuno diffusion. The immunologic responses to the BJVCs in different groups were measured with Western blotting.
Results: The positive bands appeared when the sera of rabbits were immunized by fresh BJVCs reacted with antigens of fresh BJVCs, but no bands appeared when the sera of rabbits were immunized by fresh BJVCs reacted with those antigens of the BJVCs treated with GA, DMP, and PC in Western blotting.
Conclusion: The immunogenicity of BJVCs treated with PC, DMP, and GA can be reduced significantly and meet the clinical standard.

Current development of bovine jugular vein conduit for right ventricular outflow tract reconstruction.

Right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) reconstruction is a common surgical method to treat congenital cardiac lesions, and bovine jugular vein conduit (BJVC) has become a prevalent candidate of prosthetic material for this procedure since 1999. Although many clinical studies have shown encouraging results on BJVCs, complications such as stenosis, aneurysmal dilatation, valve insufficiency, and infective endocarditis revealed in other clinical outcomes still remain problematic. This review describes the underlying mechanisms causing respective complications, and summarizes the current technological development that may address those causative factors.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of decellularization plus photooxidative crosslinking and ethanol pretreatment on bioprosthetic tissue calcification. Photooxidatively crosslinked acellular (PCA) bovine jugular vein conduits (BJVCs) and their photooxidized controls (n = 5 each) were sterilized in a graded concentration of ethanol solutions for 4 h, and used to reconstruct dog right ventricular outflow tracts. At 1-year implantation, echocardiography showed similar hemodynamic performance, but obvious calcification for the photooxidized BJVC walls.

In this study, valved photooxidatively crosslinked acellular bovine jugular vein conduits (BJVCs) were implanted in young dogs to reconstruct the connections of pulmonary arteries and right ventricles, with acellular conduits used as controls. All acellular conduits had moderate to severe valvular dysfunction and were explanted at 1-month implantation (n = 5). Histological examination showed inflammatory cell infiltration and intimal hyperplasia in the walls, and severe inflammatory cell infiltration and thrombosis in the valves.

Objective: To investigate the effect of decellular treatment on the framework constituents of extracellular matrix and tissue stability in bovine jugular vein conduit (BJVC), and to provide an evidence for tissue engineering of vascular prosthesis.
Methods: Bovine jugular veins were obtained fresh from a local slaughterhouse and were stored in chilled PBS. In the laboratory, any fat and loose connective tissue on the outer surface of the vessel was trimmed.

Objective: To observe the structural and hemodynamic changes after the reconstruction of right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) with valved bovine jugular vein conduit (BJVC) in the canine model by color Doppler echocardiography (UCG).
Methods: BJVC was used in the reconstruction of RVOT of 32 canines. UCG was used to observe the structure of the right ventricle and RVOT.
