Ebstein’s Anomaly: “The One and a Half Ventricle Heart”
Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2018 Ebstein's anomaly remains a relatively ignored disease. Lying in the 'No Man's land' between congenital and valve surgeons, it largely remains inadequately studied. We report our short-term results of treating it as a 'one and a half ventricle heart' and propose that the true tricuspid annulus (TTA) 'Z' score be used as an objective criterion for ...

3D Printing of Conducting Polymer Hydrogels for Electrostimulation‐Assisted Tissue Engineering
Advanced Materials, EarlyView.This review highlights nanosized inherently conducting polymers (ICPs) as promising ink constituents for 3D printing of conducting hydrogel (CH)‐based electrostimulation (ES) devices. ICP‐based ink formulation, 3D printing, and solidification strategies are discussed, along with the application of 3D‐printed ICP‐based CHs as ES platforms for regulating
