Case Report of Absent Pulmonary Valve with Intact Interventricular Septum

Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular Imaging
Absent pulmonary valve syndrome is a rare cardiac malformation, usually associated with tetralogy of Fallot. Its presence with intact interventricular septum is even less common with case reports or very small series in the literature. We describe a case

Comparative evaluation of single‐artery cannulation with passive venous drainage versus traditional dual‐cannula ex vivo lung perfusion in a rat model

Animal Models and Experimental Medicine, EarlyView.
This study compared a simplified rat ex vivo lung perfusion model with single‐artery inflow and passive vein drainage to the traditional dual‐catheter closed‐loop system. Abstract Background Ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP) has emerged as a critical technique for lung preservation and evaluation prior to transplantation.

Severe pulmonary hypertension in weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass following double Ozaki procedure: a case report

JA Clinical Reports
Background Ozaki surgery, which reconstructs cardiac valves using autologous pericardium, is commonly performed for aortic valve replacement and offers benefits such as avoiding anticoagulation and reducing valve degeneration. However, its application to

Surfactant‐Enhanced Electrospun Nanofiber Filters for Efficient Viral and Bacterial Inactivation

Journal of Applied Polymer Science, EarlyView.
In this work, electrospun polyacrylonitrile (PAN) nanofibrous filters functionalized with surfactants (CTAB, CPC, and SDS) were developed for air filtration applications. The PAN nanofiber mats enable efficient particulate matter capture while simultaneously providing antimicrobial and antiviral activity against bacteria (E. coli and S.

Predictors of successful pulmonary valve-sparing repair in pediatric humanitarian patients with Tetralogy of Fallot

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery
Introduction The optimal surgical approach for right ventricular outflow tract obstruction in Tetralogy of Fallot aims to preserve the native pulmonary valve annulus, as this is associated with better long-term outcomes.

Molecular stratification of antiphospholipid syndrome through integrative analysis of the whole‐blood RNA transcriptome

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a thrombo‐inflammatory disorder characterized by clinical and mechanistic heterogeneity that complicates early diagnosis and hinders targeted treatment. We aimed to identify distinct molecular endotypes among antiphospholipid antibody (aPL)‐positive patients using whole‐blood transcriptomics.

Pulmonary valve infective endocarditis caused by Mycobacterium abscessus

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2023
Infective endocarditis caused by Mycobacterium abscessus is an uncommon event that, when it does occur, usually requires surgical valve replacement. The pulmonary valve is the least common heart valve involved in infective endocarditis. We present a rare

Long‐Term Outcomes of Reduced Intensity Conditioning Hematopoietic Stem Cell Transplantation for Systemic Sclerosis Patients with Impaired Cardiac Function

Arthritis &Rheumatology, Accepted Article.
Objective High intensity conditioning autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (AHSCT) is standard of care for patients with advanced SSc. The role of reduced intensity conditioning (RIC) prior to AHSCT in this population remains unclear. We conducted this study to determine the long‐term outcomes of RIC AHSCT in SSc patients with cardiac ...

A Meta‐Analysis and Simplified Nomenclature for Diagonal Coronary Artery and Ramus Intermedius Across Adult and Pediatric Hearts

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anatomical descriptions of left‐sided oblique coronary branches remain inconsistent, hindering imaging interpretation and surgical planning. To quantify the prevalence, branching patterns and morphometry of the ramus intermedius (RI) and diagonal branches, and propose a unified nomenclature.

Superiority of the Rockwood Clinical Frailty Scale for Assessing Long‐Term Outcome in Patients Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Frailty is associated with poorer short‐term outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and national guidelines recommend an assessment of frailty as part of the decision‐making process. However, multiple frailty indices are currently used in clinical practice, and it is unclear which has the best discrimination ...
