Mechanical Metamaterials for Bioengineering: In Vitro, Wearable, and Implantable Applications
Mechanical metamaterials with engineered architectures exhibit properties that differ from and greatly surpass those of their constituent bulk materials. This review summarizes the applications of mechanical metamaterials in bioengineering, focusing on advances in the last 5 years.

ABSTRACT The use of the snare catheter (SC) technique has been described in the field of interventional cardiology, in particular in the retrieval of a lost device, for example, a dislodged coronary stent, broken coronary wire, and so forth. In the transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure, some cases have been observed where the anatomy ...

ABSTRACT Background Data supporting the use of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) for bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) is limited compared to tricuspid aortic valve (TAV) anatomy, as the BAV anatomy poses unique challenges to prosthesis expansion and symmetric deployment. Aims We aim to compare the acute recoil and asymmetry of the SAPIEN‐3 valve

ABSTRACT Background The long‐term valve durability of supra‐annular self‐expanding valves (SEV) and intra‐annular balloon‐expandable valves (BEV) in patients with small aortic annuli remains unexplored. Aims This study aimed to determine the long‐term bioprosthetic valve durability with SEV versus BEV in patients with small aortic annuli.

BACKGROUND: Since some degrees of functional mitral regurgitation (MR) may be seen in patients who are candidate for undergoing isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR), determining the effectiveness of AVR surgery on MR rate improvement can be effective ...

Introduction: Replacement of the aortic valve in patients with a small aortic annulus is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. A prosthesis-patient mismatch is one of the main problems associated with failed valves in this patient population.

ABSTRACT Background Hypoattenuated leaflet thickening (HALT) after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) detected on multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) is considered leaflet thrombosis. However, its impact on long‐term clinical outcomes remains unclear. This study aimed to investigate the impact of early HALT detection after TAVI on long‐

Prevalence of Aspirin Resistance in Patients with Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve Replacement
ABSTRACT Background Congenital heart disease (CHD) patients with pulmonary valve failure may undergo transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR). Aspirin is often prescribed as long‐term therapy after TPVR to prevent thromboembolic events (TE). Aims We aimed to examine the prevalence of aspirin resistance within the CHD TPVR population.

ABSTRACT Abiotrophia defectiva, a nutritionally variant streptococcus, represents a rare yet serious cause of infective endocarditis (IE), accounting for 1%–2% of the total IE cases. It affects native valves in 10% of patients, and it is implicated in catastrophic complications.
