Aortic valve replacement with preserved aortic valve homografts

open access: yesThe Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1974
A total of 229 patients underwent aortic valve replacement with a preserved aortic valve homograft during a 7½ year period. The operative mortality rate was 4.8 per cent. Statistical analysis of follow-up data indicated that, for patients who survived the first 30 days after surgery, the 4 year survival rate was 94 per cent and the 7 year survival was ...

A heart in a heart: a case report of spontaneous flail of bicuspid aortic valve

open access: yesJournal of Medical Case Reports, 2021
Background Aortic regurgitation is attributed to congenital and acquired abnormalities of the aortic valve or aortic valve supporting structures. The most common cause of aortic regurgitation is atherosclerotic degeneration of the valve, especially in ...

Bicuspid aortic valve associated with aortic thrombotic occlusion

open access: yesThe Egyptian Journal of Internal Medicine, 2016
The bicuspid aortic valve is associated with disorders of the aortic wall, including coarctation of the aorta and aortic dissection. The histologic abnormality underlying aortic complications in bicuspid aortic valve is cystic medial necrosis.

3D (Bio) Printing Combined Fiber Fabrication Methods for Tissue Engineering Applications: Possibilities and Limitations

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Biofabrication aims at providing innovative technologies and tools for the fabrication of tissue‐like constructs for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine applications. By integrating multiple biofabrication technologies, such as 3D (bio) printing with fiber fabrication methods, it would be more realistic to reconstruct native tissue's ...

Structural Motifs in Soft Fibrous Tissues: Revealing Structure‐Mechanics Relationships in Deformation and Tear Resistance for Biomimetic Material Design

open access: yesAdvanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This review explores how soft fibrous tissues achieve their remarkable mechanical behavior through recurring structural motifs across multiple length scales. It highlights key advances in mimicking these features using fiber‐reinforced hydrogels and hierarchical composites, offering insights into mechanical compatibility, flaw tolerance, and tear ...

Osteoprotegerin inhibits aortic valve calcification and preserves valve function in hypercholesterolemic mice. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2013
There are no rigorously confirmed effective medical therapies for calcific aortic stenosis. Hypercholesterolemic Ldlr (-/-) Apob (100/100) mice develop calcific aortic stenosis and valvular cardiomyopathy in old age.
