Advances in the Role of Adipose Tissue in Promoting Injury Repair and Resist Infection
ABSTRACT Background In recent years, adipose tissue (AT) transplantation has increasingly been noticed by many people in the field of tissue repair and regeneration. Accumulating evidence demonstrates that AT exerts dual functions in promoting tissue repair and conferring anti‐infective properties, with distinct biological effects attributed to its ...

Esophageal Injury Risk Factors in Patients With Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Catheter Ablation
Low BMI and reduced LVEF were independently associated with esophageal injury following catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation. All lesions were located near the left pulmonary vein and showed complete healing on follow‐up endoscopy. ABSTRACT Background and Aims Esophageal injury (EI) is a potentially serious complication of catheter ablation (CA ...

Lean and Obese Coronary Perivascular Adipose Tissue Impairs Vasodilation via Differential Inhibition of Vascular Smooth Muscle K+ Channels [PDF]
OBJECTIVE: The effects of coronary perivascular adipose tissue (PVAT) on vasomotor tone are influenced by an obese phenotype and are distinct from other adipose tissue depots. The purpose of this investigation was to examine the effects of lean and obese

Development of a Flexible Parallel Wire Robot for Epicardial Interventions
ABSTRACT Background HeartPrinter is a flexible parallel wire robot that adheres to the beating heart with vacuum suction at three bases. An injector head actuated by cables delivers gene therapy injections within the bounds of the bases. To deploy onto the epicardium, an introducer mechanism is required.
