Pericardial substitutes are known to ensure safer resternotomy at reoperation. A synthetic sheet made from expanded-polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) has been most commonly used as a pericardial substitute. The e-PTFE sheet, however, can induce severe inflammatory reaction and diffuse fibrosis. This study was designed to investigate the absorption rate and tissue reaction associated with two absorbable pericardial substitutes: a gelatin sheet and L-lactic acid-epsilon-caprolactone copolymer (L-C copolymer). In addition, e-PTFE sheet and autologous pericardium were used as controls.
