Hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine surface‐engineered bioprosthetic heart valves with anti‐calcification, anti‐infection, and durability

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The challenges of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) with respect to calcification, infection, and poor durability are tackled by surface engineering of hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine (HBPL), providing a translational solution to improve long‐term valve performance.

Clinical Anatomy of the Left and Right Atrial Appendages in Humans: Comparative and Developmental Perspective

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.

Percutaneous Transaxillary Access for Large‐Bore Cardiovascular Interventions: Evidence, Technique, and Complication Management

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Percutaneous transaxillary access is an established alternative to transfemoral large‐bore arterial access for transcatheter structural heart interventions and mechanical circulatory support (MCS). Although useful for overcoming hostile iliofemoral anatomy and providing prolonged support and patient mobilization in case of MCS, the axillary ...

Calcified Plaque Detachment: Alternative Calcified Plaque Modification After Coronary Intravascular Lithotripsy

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Calcified plaque (CP) detachment (CD) and calcium fracture (CF) can occur following coronary intravascular lithotripsy (IVL). The extent to which CF alone facilitates stent expansion during CP modification with IVL remains unclear. Aims This study aimed to investigate the clinical implications of IVL‐induced CD.

Hospital‐Level Variations in Outcomes and Readmissions Among Patients With STEMI and Cardiogenic Shock Receiving Mechanical Circulatory Support: Insights From a National Cohort

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The utilization of mechanical circulatory support (MCS) in patients presenting with ST‐elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) complicated by cardiogenic shock (CS) has increased substantially in recent years. However, it remains unclear whether the spectrum of MCS devices available and the type of hospital in which patients are ...
