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.

Staphylococcus aureus endocarditis: distinct mechanisms of bacterial adhesion to damaged and inflamed heart valves.

open access: yesEuropean Heart Journal, 2019
AIMS The pathogenesis of endocarditis is not well understood resulting in unsuccessful attempts at prevention. Clinical observations suggest that Staphylococcus aureus infects either damaged or inflamed heart valves.

Dynamic Views of Structure and Function during Heart Morphogenesis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Congenital heart defects remain the most common birth defect in humans, occurring in over 1% of live births. The high prevalence of cardiac malformations can be partially attributed to limited knowledge regarding the embryonic roots of the disease.

Evaluation of pliable bioresorbable, elastomeric aortic valve prostheses in sheep during 12 months post implantation

open access: yesCommunications Biology, 2023
Pliable microfibrous, bioresorbable elastomeric heart valve prostheses are investigated in search of sustainable heart valve replacement. These cell-free implants recruit cells and trigger tissue formation on the valves in situ. Our aim is to investigate
