What is Cardiovascular Allograft Tissue Banking?
In cooperation with the Ministry of Health, ONKIM safely collects donated organs and tissues throughout the country, processes and stores them in its laboratories in accordance with the legislation and world standards, and makes them available to our doctors when needed. Processed human tissues are customized into a variety of sizes, shapes and volumes to meet the different needs of patients.
Cadaveric tissue banking provides an important resource for patients awaiting organ and tissue transplantation by ensuring the safe collection, storage and distribution of tissues. It also provides the supply of tissues used in medical research, thus contributing to the development of new treatments and medical methods.
What Are the Clinical Uses of Cardiovascular Allograft Tissue?
- Cardiovascular allograft tissues are used in various clinical applications and are typically preferred in the following areas:
- Heart Valves
- Vascular Grafts
- Pericardial Tissues
- Coronary Artery Diseases
- Vascular Reconstruction
Cardiovascular Allograft Tissue Collection and Procurement Process
1. Donor Selection: Suitable donors are chosen based on medical history and physical health criteria.
2. Family Consent: Official approval for donation is obtained from the donor’s family.
3. Tissue Extraction: The donated tissues are surgically removed by specialized teams.
4. Transport: The extracted tissues are transported to the laboratory under special transport conditions.
5. Processing and Storage: In the laboratory, tissues undergo biological, chemical, and microbiological testing and are stored under appropriate conditions.
Cardiovascular Allograft Tissue Banking
Collected and processed cardiovascular allograft tissues are stored in specialized banks. The banking process includes quality control and testing phases, storage conditions, inventory management, and distribution stages. These processes are carried out in high-tech laboratories and according to specific quality control procedures. By enhancing the effectiveness and reliability of tissue banking, this system ensures that patients can timely access the tissues and organs they need.
