MG53 Protein Protects Aortic Valve Interstitial Cells From Membrane Injury and Fibrocalcific Remodeling

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background The aortic valve of the heart experiences constant mechanical stress under physiological conditions. Maladaptive valve injury responses contribute to the development of valvular heart disease. Here, we test the hypothesis that MG53 (mitsugumin

Vorticity‐Facilitated Platelet Aggregation: a High Expansion‐Ratio Stenotic Microfluidic Platform Unravels the Role of Complex Flow Dynamics in Arterial Thrombosis

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
This study reveals how vorticity—a swirling flow pattern—enhances platelet aggregation and thrombus formation in high‐shear conditions. Using a custom microfluidic model, it is shows that vorticity promotes vWF–GPIbα interactions and calcium signaling, providing new insights into thrombosis mechanobiology and informing safer blood‐contacting medical ...

Outcome of aortic valve repair in children with congenital aortic valve insufficiency [PDF]

The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 2004
Surgical aortic valvotomy has a long history of providing excellent palliation for aortic stenosis in infancy and childhood. The fate of aortic valve repairs for dominant aortic regurgitation in this same age group is considerably less clear.From 1990 to 2000, a total of 21 patients underwent aortic valve repair for aortic regurgitation at our ...
