Summary

Heart valve transplantation in clinical use at present is accomplished through cryopreservation by a programmable controlled rate freezer with Me2SO as medium to avoid cryoinjury. These cryopreserved heart valves seem to retain good cell viability as viable grafts. A great interest in immunogenecity and durability of cryopreserved heart valve has been aroused. Some reports have recently suggested immunomodulation by cryopreservation. It remains to be seen if the authors can investigate the possibility of immunomodulation by cryopreservation.
