Selective Use of Pericardial Window and Drainage as Sole Treatment for Hemopericardium from Penetrating Chest Trauma [PDF]
, 2018 Background Penetrating cardiac injuries (PCIs) are highly lethal, and a sternotomy is considered mandatory for suspected PCI. Recent literature suggests pericardial window (PCW) may be sufficient for superficial cardiac injuries to drain hemopericardium

An optimized perfusate for enhanced rat ex vivo lung perfusion and lung transplant models
Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.We explored a low‐cost and efficient perfusate composition for use in rat ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) and lung transplant models. This perfusate demonstrates better biocompatibility, likely due to a reduction in immune responses associated with high doses of xenogenic proteins, resulting in less lung injury posttransplantation.

Fatigue testing median sternotomy closures [PDF]
European Journal of Cardio-Thoracic Surgery, 2001 Sternal dehiscence is commonly due to wire cutting through bone. With a biological model, we measured the rate of cutting through bone, of standard steel wire closure, peristernal steel wire, figure-of-eight closure, polyester and sternal bands sternotomy closure techniques.Polyester, figure-of-eight, peristernal and sternal band closures were tested ...

Steerable Delivery Sheath for Optimized LAA Closure: First Experience and Procedural Outcomes
Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Background The new Amplatzer Steerable Delivery Sheath is a delivery system designed to improve ease‐of‐use and procedural results of left atrial appendage closure (LAAC). We aimed to compare procedural results after switching our LAAC program at a tertiary care center with the Amulet device to the Steerable Delivery Sheath, with a control ...

Implantation of a poly-L-lactide GCSF-functionalized scaffold in a model of chronic myocardial infarction [PDF]
, 2017 A previously developed poly-l-lactide scaffold releasing granulocyte colony-stimulating factor (PLLA/GCSF) was tested in a rabbit chronic model of myocardial infarction (MI) as a ventricular patch.

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.ABSTRACT We describe a novel variation of hybrid TPVR using a tricuspid annuloplasty ring which can be considered for patients with very large RVOT, short pulmonary artery, and limited vascular access and to avoid the risk of cardiopulmonary bypass. The utilization of Carpentier‐Edwards Physio Tricuspid annuloplasty ring can reduce the size of the RVOT
