With the development of diagnostic techniques, the incidence of bioprosthetic heart valve thrombo-sis (BHVT) is found to be seriously underestimated. Developing bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) that have good hemocompatibility without sacrificing other properties such as hydrodynamics and durabil-ity will be an effective strategy to alleviate BHVT. In this study, we developed a PEGylation method by co-crosslinking and subsequent radical polymerization. 2-amino-4-pentenoic acid was used to introduce carbon-carbon double bonds for glutaraldehyde crosslinked pericardia. Then poly (ethylene glycol) di-acrylate (PEGDA) was immobilized on pericardia by radical polymerization. A comprehensive evaluation of the modified pericardia was performed including structural characterization, hemocompatibility, cyto-compatibility, mechanical properties, component stability, hydrodynamic performance and durability of the BHVs. The modified pericardia significantly reduced platelet adhesion by more than 75% compared with traditional glutaraldehyde crosslinked pericardia. Cell viability in the modified pericardia group was nearly 5-fold higher than that in glutaraldehyde crosslinked pericardia. The hydrodynamic performance met the requirements of ISO 5840-3 under physiological aortic valve conditions and its durability was proved after 200 million cycles of accelerated fatigue test. In conclusion, PEGDA modified pericardia ex-hibited improved antithrombogenicity and cytocompatibility properties compared with glutaraldehyde crosslinked pericardia.
