Triple Valve Replacement With Bileaflet Mechanical Valves
Japanese Circulation Journal, 2001 A more durable mechanical valve may be a better choice for the tricuspid position than a bioprosthesis when the patient already has mechanical prosthesis in the left side of the heart. Eleven cases of triple valve replacement (total follow-up period, 49.5 patient years), all with mechanical valves, are reviewed to assess optimal valve selection.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Lipid overload suppresses SREBF2‐mediated FNTB expression, leading to defective Lamin A maturation and nuclear envelope instability. This nuclear catastrophe triggers a pro‐fibrotic senescence program in cardiomyocytes. Notably, restoring nuclear integrity via AAV9‐based gene therapy effectively attenuates cardiac remodeling, identifying the ...
