Technique of aortic valve replacement

open access: yesThe Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1976
A technique of prosthetic aortic valve insertion which uses through-and-through mattress sutures tied outside the aorta is described. This technique is particularly useful whenever the valve annulus is friable following removal of the calcium of a heavily calcified aortic ...

Miniaturized Devices for On‐the‐Spot Generation of Small‐Diameter Vascular Grafts

open access: yesAdvanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
An intracorporeal extrusion device is developed for on‐the‐spot generation of vascular grafts with tunable diameters spanning from 1 to 6 mm. The device uses biomimetic polymers and light, to promptly obtaining biocompatible and high‐burst pressure‐resistant grafts.

Aortic Valve Replacement

open access: yesThe Journal of ExtraCorporeal Technology, 1990
Indications for aortic valve replacement can be summarized into two disease processes, moderate to severe aortic stenosis (with or without symptoms) and moderate to severe aortic insufficiency. Fortunately, standards of care differ with each physician and so indications for aortic valve replacement are not clearly defined. To understand how the surgeon

Uncover Hidden Physical Information of Soft Matter by Observing Large Deformation

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Detecting internal abnormalities in soft matter remains challenging due to its heterogeneous nature. This study introduces a method that infers hidden physical properties by matching observed deformation with simulation through parallel Bayesian optimization.

Inhibiting the Histone Demethylase Kdm4a Restrains Cardiac Fibrosis After Myocardial Infarction by Promoting Autophagy in Premature Senescent Fibroblasts

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Kdm4a downregulation restrains excessive cardiac interstitial fibrosis and remodeling by depressing the premature senescence of fibroblasts in the advanced stage after MI but does not affect early ventricular rupture. It verified that Kdm4a downregulation promotes autophagy in premature senescent fibroblasts by increasing the H3K9m3 modification of the
