Abstract: Objective To evaluate a new type of treatment that reduces calcification of glutaraldehydetreated bovine jugular venous conduit (BJVC). Methods Fresh bovine jugular veins were treated with glutaraldehyde, followed by Triton X-100 and epoxy chloropropane (EC+Tr group). We compared the group’s appearance, histology, shrinkage temperature, tensile strength, and elongation at break with those of a fresh group, and with a group treated with glutaraldehyde only (GA group). We then implanted the EC+Tr and GA group BJVCs subcutaneously into the backs of SD rats and left them for eight weeks (n=8). The morphologic properties and inflammatory response of the test specimens were evaluated by HE staining. The tissue calcium content was determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometer. Results The shrinkage temperature, tensile strength, and elongation at break of the EC+Tr group were significantly higher than those of the fresh group (86.15±0.92 ℃ vs. 69.94±0.92 ℃,t=35.239, P=0.000; 5.31±0.14 mPa vs.3.15±0.95 mPa,t=6.362, P=0.000; 265.11%±27.80% vs. 16521%±25.06%,t=7.550, P=0.000) and of the GA group (86.15±0.92 ℃ vs. 82.73±1.28 ℃, t=6.137, P=0.000; 5.31±0.14 mPa vs. 4.52±0.56 mPa,t=3.871, P=0.002; 265.11%±27.80% vs.237.85%±17.41%,t=2.351,P=0.034). The tissue structure of the subcutaneously implanted EC+Tr veins remained intact;degradation was slight and they contained few inflammatory cells. The calcium content of the EC+Tr group was lower than that of the GA group (51.22±2.69 μg/mg vs. 73.24±3.82 μg/mg, t=11.545，P=0.000). Conclusion Treatment with Triton X-100 and epoxy chloropropane modification with glutaraldehydetreated bovine jugular venous conduit was an effective way to prepare BJVC that avoided calcification.
