Summary

Comparison of short-term (less than 3 months) and long term (1 and 2 years) cryopreserved heart valve leaflet storage in a liquid nitrogen freezer below -135 deg C demonstrated preservation of fibroblast protein synthesis. In contrast, storage in a mechanical freezer at -80 deg C resulted in a time-dependent loss of fibroblast protein synthesis.
