Abstract

For years the use of membranes and other prosthesis for the repair of the congenital cardiac defects have been studied widely, trying to offer the best tissue to the children. The aim is to give durability, resistance, easy-to-use membranes. Beside some cardiac procedures in neonates or infants may need a reoperation and the surgeon looks for good tissues. In this study we present the use of decellularized porcine extracellular matrix scaffold for the repair of some congenital heart procedures. In the Hospital Regional de Alta Especialdad de León, we use this matrix in 17 patients during one year (2018). We are looking for a wide experience in the region we are showing our preliminary results.
