Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.Bio‐based and (semi‐)synthetic zwitterion‐modified novel materials and fully synthetic next‐generation alternatives show the importance of material design for different biomedical applications. The zwitterionic character affects the physiochemical behavior of the material and deepens the understanding of chemical interaction mechanisms within the ...

The Heart of a Horse: 3‐D Echocardiographic Analysis of the Equine Aortic Valve [PDF]
, 2019 Aortic regurgitation (AR) can be a normal function of aging or a disease in younger horses. Symptoms range from no outward signs to decreased performance to sudden cardiac arrest.

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 ...

Aneurysm formation of pericardial patch in Manouguian procedure
Journal of the Saudi Heart Association, 2018 Pericardial patch has been used to repair cardiac defects; however, its strength as an aortoplasty patch to tolerate systemic pressure is a matter of debate. We report an aneurysmal dilatation of pericardial patch in aortoplasty.

Hemodynamic and thrombogenic analysis of a trileaflet polymeric valve using a fluid-structure interaction approach [PDF]
, 2015 Surgical valve replacement in patients with severe calcific aortic valve disease using either bioprosthetic or mechanical heart valves is still limited by structural valve deterioration for the former and thrombosis risk mandating anticoagulant therapy ...
