    OMG!
    Fail!

    When used as a bioprosthetic heart valve, bovine pericardium has been reported to
    show mechanical disruption of leaflets and mineralization resulting in early failure
    in some cases.

    Glutaraldehyde-treated bovine pericardium may undergo accelerated calcific
    infiltration in patients with high calcium metabolic activity (e.g., children). This
    may not be a concern where the patch is exposed to systolic pressures.

    Obviously I hope this won't happen to Cardiocel.
