Material transport in the left ventricle with aortic valve regurgitation
, 2018 This experimental in vitro work investigates material transport properties in a model left ventricle in the case of aortic regurgitation, a valvular disease characterized by a leaking aortic valve and consequently double-jet filling within the elastic ...

Capillary‐Driven 3D Open Fluidic Networks for Versatile Continuous Flow Manipulation
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.The capillary‐driven 3D open fluidic networks (OFNs), composed of connected polyhedral frames, enable precise, programmable, and versatile manipulation of unary, binary, and multiple continuous flows in both spatial and temporal dimensions. OFNs represent a significant leap beyond conventional microfluidics, unlocking new possibilities for selective ...

A chronological history of heart valve prostheses to offer perspectives of their limitations
Frontiers in Bioengineering and BiotechnologyProsthetic heart valves (PHV) have been studied for around 70 years. They are the best alternative to save the life of patients with cardiac valve diseases. However, current PHVs may still cause significant disadvantages to patients.

Three-dimensional echocardiography in valve disease
Heart International, 2009 This review covers the role of three-dimensional (3D) echocardiography in the diagnosis of heart valve disease. Several factors have contributed to the evolution of this technique, which is currently a simple and routine method: rapid evolution in probe ...

Advanced Materials Interfaces, EarlyView.This study investigates the impact of nanostructured surface modification on corrosion resistance, HUVEC functions, and platelet interactions of 316L SS for cardiovascular stents. Nanostructured surfaces enhanced HUVEC proliferation, migration, and angiogenesis‐related gene expression while reducing platelet adhesion and hemolysis.

Thermodilution vs estimated Fick cardiac output measurement in an elderly cohort of patients: A single-centre experience [PDF]
, 2019 AIMS: Patients referred to the cath-lab are an increasingly elderly population. Thermodilution (TD, gold standard) and the estimated Fick method (eFM) are interchangeably used in the clinical routine to measure cardiac output (CO).
