Toward Autonomous Self‐Healing in Soft Robotics: A Review and Perspective for Future Research

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
In this article, five different phases (damage detection, cleaning, damage closure, material healing, and healing assessment) are investigated to have an autonomous self‐healing at the system level with the focus on soft robotics. It delves into the importance of each phase, why and where they matter, and reviews relevant technologies that enable ...

Prosthesis–patient mismatch is less frequent and more clinically indolent in patients operated for aortic insufficiency [PDF]

, 2009
ObjectiveTo date, no study has focused on the incidence and effects of prosthesis–patient mismatch in patients requiring aortic valve replacement for aortic insufficiency. We hypothesized that the incidence and implications of prosthesis–patient mismatch

Balloon Fracturing Valve-in-Valve: How to Do It and a Case Report of TAVR in a Rapid Deployment Prosthesis

Journal of Interventional Cardiology, 2022
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) to treat degeneration of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs), called as valve-in-valve (ViV), is becoming a key feature since the number of BHVs requiring intervention is increasing and many patients are at ...
