Degenerative mitral valve regurgitation: best practice revolution [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Degenerative mitral valve disease often leads to leaflet prolapse due to chordal elongation or rupture, and resulting in mitral valve regurgitation. Guideline referral for surgical intervention centres primarily on symptoms and ventricular dysfunction ...

Genotype–Phenotype Correlation in TTC7A‐Associated Gastrointestinal Defects and Immunodeficiency Syndrome 1

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Gastrointestinal defects and immunodeficiency syndrome 1 (GIDID1) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder caused by biallelic variants in TTC7A. GIDID1 is characterized by a broad clinical spectrum ranging from very early‐onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEOIBD) to multiple intestinal atresia (MIA) with or without immunological manifestations.

Changes in hemodynamics of pulmonary artery using Flowire in a canine model of acute pulmonary thromboembolism

open access: yesAnimal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study investigated changes in pulmonary artery hemodynamics using a Flowire catheter and evaluated the accuracy of Doppler echocardiography in dogs with acute pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE). Ten healthy beagles were anesthetized, and acute pulmonary hypertension (PH) was induced by injecting 300‐μm dextran microspheres.

Noradrenergic and cholinergic innervation of the normal human heart and changes associated with cardiomyopathy

open access: yesThe Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Abstract Autonomic nerves are crucial in cardiac function and pathology. However, data on the distribution of cholinergic and noradrenergic nerves in normal and pathologic human hearts is lacking. Nonfailing donor hearts were pressure‐perfusion fixed, imaged, and dissected. Left ventricular cardiomyopathy samples were also obtained.

What does it mean? Translating anatomical language to engage public audiences

open access: yesAnatomical Sciences Education, EarlyView.
Abstract The language of anatomy, with its roots in Ancient Greek and Roman languages, is complex and unfamiliar to many. Its complexity creates a significant barrier to public knowledge and understanding of anatomy—many members of the public find themselves asking “what does it mean?”, and this can manifest as poor health literacy and outcomes.

Perventricular Device Closure of Native Congenital Muscular Ventricular Septal Defects in Small Infants   $\hspace{0.17em}$ ≤ 5 kg: Single‐Center Study of the Risk Factors for Failure of the Intervention and Non‐Optimal Outcome

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Perventricular device closure of muscular VSD in small infants is a less invasive option than surgical closure under cardiopulmonary bypass and offers better outcomes than palliative pulmonary artery banding. However, the specific risk factors that could affect procedural success and optimal outcomes have not been ...

Early results after mitral valvuloplasty for pure mitral regurgitation [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In this study we present the results of 105 consecutive patients with pure mitral regurgitation who underwent surgical treatment. In all patients mitral regurgitation was associated with mitral valve prolapse: 54 patients underwent mitral valvuloplasty ...
