Identification of Autologous Tissue Sources and Optimization of a Treatment Method for Intraoperative Manufacturing of Heart Valve Constructs

open access: yesArtificial Organs, Volume 50, Issue 9, Page 1237-1253, September 2026.
The use of autologous connective tissue, such as pericardium or peritoneum, combined with controlled tissue treatment, has the potential to result in a more durable heart valve prosthesis than current commercial prostheses. ABSTRACT Introduction Valvular heart disease remains a leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Current biological and mechanical

Accuracy of data routinely collected by Australian hospitals for identifying infective endocarditis, causative organisms and clinical outcomes: a diagnostic accuracy study

open access: yesInternal Medicine Journal, Volume 56, Issue 9, Page 1544-1552, September 2026.
Abstract Background Infective endocarditis (IE) is a life‐threatening condition, and the surveillance of the incidence is important for monitoring disease trends. Administrative data routinely collected by hospitals offer a feasible and inexpensive method for surveillance of patients with IE, yet the accuracy of coding of IE, causative organisms and ...

Early Bleeding Risk After DOAC Initiation With Concomitant Amiodarone in Older Adults With Atrial Fibrillation

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, Volume 37, Issue 9, Page 2119-2121, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Background Amiodarone is frequently co‐prescribed with direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) in atrial fibrillation (AF), but its impact on early bleeding risk after DOAC initiation in older adults remains uncertain. We evaluated short‐term safety outcomes associated with concomitant amiodarone use at the time of DOAC initiation.

Segmental Snare Traction Technique for Helix‐Fixed Leadless Pacemaker Implantation Across a Repaired Tricuspid Annulus

open access: yesPacing and Clinical Electrophysiology, Volume 49, Issue 9, Page 1332-1334, September 2026.
ABSTRACT Helix‐fixed leadless pacemaker delivery can be challenging after tricuspid annuloplasty with a rigid ring. An 80‐year‐old woman with prior mitral valve repair, tricuspid annuloplasty (26‐mm MC ring), and Maze III surgery presented with syncope due to atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular response. Standard maneuvers failed to advance the

Six-and-half years' experience with the St. Jude BioImplant porcine prosthesis

open access: yes, 1997
In this study, we reviewed our experience in heart valve replacement with the St. Jude BioImplant heart valve, which is a low-profile, low-pressure glutaraldehyde-fixed porcine prosthesis mounted on a flexible Delrin ...
