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

An Ultrathin and Lightweight Soft Inflatable Actuator for Natural Tactile Sensory Feedback
A lightweight, ultrathin soft actuator mimics natural touch by delivering strong, multimodal haptic feedback through pressure and vibration. Tested on both able‐bodied individuals and amputees, it achieves high sensory precision in a compact form. Its simplicity, power, and adaptability hint at transformative applications in prosthetics, immersive ...

Triple Björk-Shiley valve: More than 30 years of asymptomatic functioning: To the memory of late academic Prof. Isidor Papo and the 45th anniversary of the first valve implantation in Yugoslavia [PDF]
Introduction. The Björk-Shiley Delrin (BSD) tilting disc heart valve was first clinically used in 1969. A triple BSD valve replacement has not been quite common, because of high postoperative risk and complications, but there have been several cases with

Remote Ischemic Preconditioning Neither Improves Survival nor Reduces Myocardial or Kidney Injury in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Peri-interventional myocardial injury occurs frequently during transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). We assessed the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) on myocardial injury, acute kidney injury (AKIN) and 6-month ...

Abstract New data on the equine aortic valve obtained using advanced techniques is especially important given the greater availability of animal models for translational research. Here we characterized the morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve from 60 healthy hearts collected at equine abattoirs.

Long‐Term Durability of Transcatheter Aortic Valves in Patients With Bicuspid Aortic Stenosis
ABSTRACT Background Data concerning the long‐term durability of transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs) in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are lacking. Aims The study aims to report data on long‐term valve durability following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in bicuspid AS.
