Case Report: Simultaneous covered stenting for aortic coarctation and significant PDA in low and very low birth weight preterm infants: technical insights from two cases

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundTo the best of our knowledge, no study to date has reported the use of covered stents in preterm and low weight (LW) preterm babies for the combined treatment of aortic coarctation (CoA) and persistent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in these ...

Integrated ‘Shield‐Spear’ Biological Patch for Fibrosis‐Free Bladder Reconstruction

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Fibrosis‐free bladder reconstruction remains challenging. This study pioneers an integrated “shield‐spear” patch: The outer anionic hydrogel layer captures GATA6+ macrophages to suppress collagen overexpression, while the inner S100 aptamer‐engineered EVs target Schwann cells to downregulate the TGFβ/Smad pathway—inhibiting fibrosis with enhanced wound

Radiation-free CMR diagnostic heart catheterization in children

Journal of Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance, 2017
Background Children with heart disease may require repeated X-Ray cardiac catheterization procedures, are more radiosensitive, and more likely to survive to experience oncologic risks of medical radiation.

Activation of Spinal Astrocyte α2A Adrenoceptors Protects Against Sepsis‐Induced Heart Injury Through Inhibition of GABAergic Neuronal Necroptosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
The study in this paper found that activating the α2A receptors of astrocytes in the thoracic spinal cord can reduce the release of inflammatory factors, thereby decreasing the necroptosis of GABAergic neurons and consequently alleviating myocardial injury caused by sepsis.

Viral‐Directed Augmentation of Kupffer Cell Cross‐Presentation Provokes Antitumor Immunity Against Liver Metastasis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Targeting Kupffer cells (KC) with a single intravenous infusion of the oncolytic virus VSV‐M51R rather than VSV‐WT induces effective tumor regression in various types of liver metastatic cancers in mice. VSV‐M51R promotes KC proliferation and enhances their antigen cross‐presentation capacity without compromising viability, leading to the induction of ...

Does a nurse-led interventional program improve clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation? A meta-analysis

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background Being the most common type of arrhythmia, atrial fibrillation (AF) is progressively increasing with an annual rate of 5 million new cases. Recent guidelines highlight the importance of using collaborative multidisciplinary teams in order to ...

An Aptamer‐Based EXACT Anticoagulant as a Sustainable, Animal‐Free Alternative to Unfractionated Heparin

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
By simply conjugating thrombin's active‐site inhibitor, dabigatran, with an exosite inhibitor, aptamer HD1, the resulting EXosite‐ACTive site (EXACT) inhibitors show two orders of magnitude higher potency and selectivity via synergistic binding, while maintaining the aptamer's antidote‐reversible trait, yielding a potential substitute for the animal ...

Impact of on-site cardiac catheterization on resource utilization and fatal and non-fatal outcomes after acute myocardial infarction

BMC Health Services Research, 2006
Background Patterns of care for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) strongly depend on the availability of on-site cardiac catheterization facilities. Although the management found at hospitals without on-site catheterization does not lead to increased ...
