The Endocardium and Heart Valves

open access: yesCold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2020
Endocardial cells are specialized endothelial cells that, during embryogenesis, form a lining on the inside of the developing heart, which is maintained throughout life. Endocardial cells are an essential source for several lineages of the cardiovascular system including coronary endothelium, endocardial cushion mesenchyme, cardiomyocytes, mural cells,

Design and Fabrication of Three-Dimensional Scaffolds for Tissue Engineering of Human Heart Valves [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
We developed a new fabrication technique for 3-dimensional scaffolds for tissue engineering of human heart valve tissue. A human aortic homograft was scanned with an X-ray computer tomograph.

Management of Intracranial Hemorrhage in the Setting of Mechanical Heart Valve Replacement Therapy

open access: yesApplied Mechanics, 2023
The management of an intracranial hemorrhage in patients receiving anticoagulant therapy presents a significant challenge for medical professionals. Anticoagulant treatment is intended to prevent blood clotting, but it can worsen active brain bleeds ...

Multimodality imaging in the diagnostic approach to a patient with carcinoid heart disease involving four heart valves

open access: yesClinical Case Reports, 2022
Carcinoid heart disease is a rare condition that occurs in less than half of patients with carcinoid syndrome. The disease mainly affects right‐sided heart valves; however, in 5%–10%, it can also involve left‐sided valves.

Prevalence and Evolution of Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging Lesions in Patients With Artificial Heart Valves. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Background In patients with mechanical heart valves, cerebral susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) lesions on magnetic resonance imaging, postulated to be caused by degenerative metallic abrasion, are frequently referred to as valve abrasion. It remains

Prosthetic Heart Valve [PDF]

open access: yesCirculation, 2011
A 55-year-old invasive/clinical cardiologist worked full time, exercised regularly, and was asymptomatic. Two weeks previously, he had new onset of angina on exertion. Echocardiography/Doppler and cardiac catheterization confirmed the clinical assessment of severe aortic stenosis with a valve area of 0.5 cm2/m2.

Clinical performance of decellularized heart valves versus standard tissue conduits: a systematic review and meta-analysis

open access: yesJournal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background Valve replacement surgery is the definitive management strategy for patients with severe valvular disease. However, valvular conduits currently in clinical use are associated with significant limitations.
