Everting Suture Technique for Aortic Valve Replacement
Objective To determine whether the use of everting, pledgeted mattress suture (EPMS) technique for aortic valve replacement is advantageous compared to other commonly used techniques. Methods From January 2002 to January 2022, 709 isolated aortic valve replacements were performed using the EPMS technique, and 3749 replacements were completed using ...

On-pump versus off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting with left internal mammary artery for left anterior descending artery stenosis: a retrospective study over 15 years [PDF]
Backrounds The on-pump surgery might induce a higher number of postoperative complications because of the extra-corporal circulation (ECC) that is not a physiological process.

The physiology of thoracic duct pressure and flow: A review of the literature
Abstract The thoracic duct (TD) is the largest vessel of the lymphatic system, transporting interstitial fluid, macromolecules, and immune cells into the venous circulation via the lymphovenous junction. Respiratory and circulatory forces have been proposed as key drivers of TD lymph propulsion; however, the literature reports inconsistent findings ...

Multi-scale interaction of flow and the artery wall [PDF]
We discuss, from the perspective of basic science, the physical and biological processes which underlie atherosclerotic (plaque) initiation at the vascular endothelium, identifying their widely separated spatial and temporal scales which participate.

Ischemic Colitis Caused by Intra-Aortic Balloon Pump Counterpulsation
Intra-aortic balloon pump counterpulsation (IABP) has been shown to prolong life in critically ill cardiac patients. However, complications including distal emboli, balloon rupture, bleeding, limb loss, and bowel ischemia continue to be associated with ...
