Successful thrombolysis on a mechanical tricuspid prosthesis

European Heart Journal, 1989
Recombinant tissue-type plasminogen activator (rt-PA) is presently used for the treatment of different clinical entities, mostly myocardial infarction. Its use for treatment of thrombotic dysfunction of prosthetic cardiac valves is more recent and has been only rarely reported.

Cellular events in the mechanisms of prosthesis loosening

Clinical Materials, 1991
The functional restoration of a joint damaged by trauma or disease is obtained by prosthetic surgery. In particular the implantation of hip prostheses is regarded as routine in orthopedic surgery and thorough research has been developed in this field.

Thrombosis of Mechanical Mitral Valve Prosthesis

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, 2005
Obstruction of mechanical valve prostheses is a rare but potentially lethal complication following valve replacement surgery. Identifying the etiology and differentiation between thrombus, pannus, and vegetation obstructing the valve prosthesis can pose a diagnostic challenge.

Mechanical failure of omniphase penile prosthesis

Urology, 1988
We report a case of mechanical failure due to cable breakage in both cylinders of an OmniPhase penile prosthesis. The failure occurred six weeks after implantation and was manifested by inability to activate the device. X-ray films showed cable fracture at the point of insertion into the activator mechanism bilaterally.

Mechanical Failure with Malleable Penile Prosthesis

Urology, 2007
Mechanical failure with a malleable penile prosthesis is very rare, and no mechanical failure has been reported with the AMS 650 malleable penile prosthesis. A 67-year-old man, using the AMS 650 malleable penile prosthesis without a problem since 1999, presented with right penile deformity and difficulty in sexual intercourse for the preceding 2 months.

A Compliant Mechanism as a Sternum Prosthesis

2020
This paper presents a three-dimensional design of a compliant mechanism as a transmission system for its application in a novel human sternum prosthesis. The proposed compliant mechanism design is able to generate a coordinated movement between ribs during the respiratory process in human beings.

Mechanical failure of a St. Jude Medical prosthesis

The American Journal of Cardiology, 1991
Abstract The St. Jude Medical (SJM) prosthetic cardiac valve is a low-profile, bileaflet mechanical valve with an excellent record of durability and a low overall complication rate.1–3 Mechanical failure is a rare occurrence with this valve.4 We report a case of mechanical failure of a SJM prosthesis due to leaflet fracture with subsequent ...
