Recent Advances in Variable‐Stiffness Robotic Systems Enabled by Phase‐Change Materials
Phase‐change materials (PCMs), such as shape memory alloys, hydrogels, shape memory polymers, liquid crystal elastomers, and low‐melting‐point alloys, are driving advancements in stiffness‐tunable robotic systems across a wide range of applications. This review highlights recent progress in PCM‐enabled robotics, focusing on their underlying mechanisms,

Long-term survival following aortic valve replacement : the influence of age, prosthesis-patient mismatch and indexed effective orifice area [PDF]
Background: Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) has been linked to reduced long-term survival after aortic valve replacement. We studied the influence of age, PPM and indexed effective orifice area (iEOA) in this setting. Methods Patients (n=586) subjected

Heart valve replacement with the Sorin tilting-disc prosthesis
From 1978 to 1988, 697 patients with a mean age of 48 +/- 11 years (range 5 to 75 years) received a Sorin tilting-disc prosthesis; 358 had had aortic valve replacement, 247 mitral valve replacement, and 92 mitral and aortic valve replacement. Operative mortality rates were 7.8%, 11.3%, and 10.8%, respectively, in the three groups.
