Morphological and morphometric aspects of the equine aortic valve: New insights for comparative studies in mammals

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
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.

Transcatheter aortic valve implantation in failed bioprosthetic surgical valves. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
IMPORTANCE: Owing to a considerable shift toward bioprosthesis implantation rather than mechanical valves, it is expected that patients will increasingly present with degenerated bioprostheses in the next few years.

Macrophage‐targeted cerium‐tannic acid metal‐polyphenol framework nanoenzyme promotes in situ heart valves regeneration through adaptive immunomodulation

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
A novel nanoenzyme based on cerium ions‐tannic acid metal‐polyphenol framework (FCT) has been developed and loaded onto DHVs for targeting M1 macrophages to reduce their ROS level and reprogram macrophage phenotype, thereby eliminating inflammation, promoting endothelialization and adaptive matrix remodeling of scaffolds, offering a promising strategy ...

Purinergic ecto-enzymes in human and ovine aortic valves: indicators of bacterial nanocellulose scaffold cellularization

open access: yesArtificial Cells, Nanomedicine, and Biotechnology
Purinergic signalling pathways play a vital role in the biological functions of the aortic valve (AV) through nucleotide and adenosine-dependent receptor effects.

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]

open access: yes, 2010
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

Incidence and Predictors of Hypoattenuated Thickening and Device‐Related Thrombus at Three Months Postprocedural CT Assessment Following Left Atrial Appendage Occlusion With Amplatzer Devices—A Single‐Center Cohort

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) has become a valuable alternative to long‐term anticoagulation for stroke prevention in patients with non‐valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), especially in those at high bleeding risk. Hypoattenuated thickening (HAT) and device‐related thrombus (DRT) remain notable postprocedural concerns ...

Commissural Misalignment Following Valve‐in‐Valve Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Data on commissural misalignment (CMA) during valve‐in‐valve transcatheter aortic valve implantation (ViV‐TAVI) for valve failure after surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) is scarce. Aims To study the impact of CMA on clinical and hemodynamic outcomes following ViV‐TAVI for failed SAVR.
