The immune response against human-leucocyte-antigens on donor-cells may be an important factor contributing to the degeneration of allograft-valves. We have previously reported that the use of the decellularized allograft SynerGraft (CryoLife) reduces the immunologic response of the allograft-recipient. In this study we compare the echocardiographic and computed tomography angiographic (CTA) findings of SynerGrafts with conventional cryopreserved allografts.
