We have used a glycerol-treated human dura mater valve as a valve substitute of the blood pumps for more than 3 years. In comparative studies, it was shown that the dura mater valve is more durable than the glutaraldehyde-treated bovine aortic valves, and thought to be a very attractive valve material. Fabrication methods both for rigid and flexible stents were introduced.
