Previous studies have demonstrated that surgical patches comprised of small intestinal submucosa-derived extracellular matrix (ECM) have biological remodeling potential. This pilot study investigated histological, mechanical, and bioelectrical properties of an ECM patch implanted in the ovine right-ventricular outflow tract (RVOT).ECM patches (2 × 2 cmIn vivo analysis showed that ECM patch tissue was contractile by M-mode and two-dimensional echocardiographic evaluation. In vivo electrical mapping, and optical mapping confirmed that ECM conducted an organized electrical signal. Mechanical testing of native and ECM patched RVOT tissue showed an elastic modulus of the implanted patch comparable to native tissue stiffness.At 5 and 8 months, the ECM had undergone extracellular matrix remodeling and neovascularization without calcification. The ECM was populated with locally aligned muscle cells positive for sarcomeric alpha-actinin, CD45, and troponin I and T. In sheep, the ECM patch appears to have the potential of remodeling to resemble native, functional ventricular tissue as evidenced by histological, mechanical, and electrical properties. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
