Modification of Valve Replacements to Reduce Calcification
This invention is a modification of a replacement heart valve used for treating heart valve disease. The valve is modified with enzymes that generate adenosine, a known regulator of calcification. These tissue based heart valves will allow for the localized reduction of calcification, which will lead to a longer life span of the heart valve.
