Platelet thrombosis on components of tissue valve prosthesis explanted from Holstein calves was quantified with In-111-labeled autologous platelets. Twenty-eight calves were implanted with 25 mm bovine pericardial valve prostheses in mitral annulus and killed 1, 14, 30 and 90 days post-implantation. Twenty-four hours before killing 350-450 ..mu..Ci of autologous In-111 platelets were administered intravenously. Components of the explanted valve were imaged with a gamma camera. Mean (+- SD) value of platelet deposition (PlX10/sup 5//mm/sup 2/) on four sections of each leaflet (free edge: FE, central zone: CZ, flexion zone: FZ, attachment zone: AZ) was calculated from platelet count, radioactivity in blood, leaflet sections and area of leaflet sections. With fibrous ingrowth in sewing ring the tissue valve becomes less thrombogenic at 30 days post-implantation; with increase in calcification platelet thrombosis also increases in central zone of leaflet at 30 and 90 days.
