Trial‐Based Hemolysis Modeling to Investigate Operating Modes of Continuous‐Flow LVADs
This work presents a methodology for determining online‐capable hemolysis models for continuous‐flow LVADs, derived from in vitro trials. The models are based on fitting a modified power law and applying the Lagrangian approach. They assist clinicians in selecting treatment strategies that minimize hemolysis, as demonstrated with the Sputnik1 LVAD ...

In Vitro Calcification Evaluation of Polycarbonate Urethane—Impact of Production Processes
The study shows that hot pressing induces chemical changes in PCU, promoting calcification, while solution‐cast patches remain unaffected. ABSTRACT Background Heart valve diseases remain a leading cause of death in industrialized nations. Polycarbonate urethane (PCU) is a promising material for heart valve prostheses due to its biocompatibility and low

Structural evolution of mechanical heart valves (review)
Prosthetic heart valves are widely used biomedical devices. The need for these prostheses is increasing due to the increasing life expectancy of the general population and the consequent incidence of age-related degenerative valvular defects.

Outcomes for Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia in Three Decades: A Report From a UK Surgical Centre
ABSTRACT Aims Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is associated with lung hypoplasia, pulmonary hypertension and high mortality. Three decades experience from a UK centre is reported. Methods Medical records of CDH newborns between February 1990 and November 2021 and attending a multidisciplinary clinic were examined. Survival and health outcomes are
