Carotid Endarterectomy with Bovine Pericardium Patch Angioplasty: Mid-Term Results

2011 ASA/ACCF/AHA/AANN/AANS/ACR/ASNR/CNS/SAIP/SCAI/SIR/SNIS/SVM/SVS Guideline on the Management of Patients With Extracranial Carotid and Vertebral Artery Disease: Executive summary

“…45,171 Restenosis after CEA has been reported in 5% to 10% of cases when assessed by postoperative ultrasonography but consistently in fewer than 5% of cases when patching was used in recent series. 63,176,[276][277][278][279][280][281] Hemodynamically significant recurrent stenosis rates of 5% to 7% have been reported in multicenter trials. 62,176,276,[282][283][284][285][286][287][288][289][290][291][292][293][294][295][296][297][298][299] Data comparing restenosis after CEA and CAS must be interpreted cautiously because of selection bias and stent-generated artifacts in ultrasound velocity measurements.…”

Pericardial Processing: Challenges, Outcomes and Future Prospects

“…vascular grafts (Schmidt & Baier, 2000;Chvapil et al, 1970;Matsagas et al, 2006; Moon & West;, and heart valves (Ishihara et al, 1981;Schoen & Levy, 1999;Flanagan & Pandit, 2003;Vesely, 2005). Pericardial bioprostheses have also been described for the treatment of acquired cardiac pathologies, including postinfarction septal defects , reconstruction of mitral valve annulus (David et al, 1995a(David et al, , 1995b or outflow obstruction (Sommers & David, 1997).…”

Bovine pericardial patch repair in infected fields

“…19,20,23,24 Certainly, the patch material has proven durable in a number of arterial applications, most commonly as a patch material for carotid endarterectomy. [13][14][15][16][17][18]21,22 We have used BPP for all of our elective carotid and femoral endartectomies over the past decade.…”

“…[3][4][5]12 Bovine pericardial patches (BPP) are frequently used for arterial closure, and numerous publications detail acceptable long-term patency and durability when used as patch material for carotid endarterectomy. [13][14][15][16][17][18]21,22 The same material has also been used with some success during reconstruction of infected bronchial stumps and occasionally for intracardiac infection. However, data regarding the effectiveness of BPP in infected fields are limited to isolated case reports and no long-term data are available.…”
