Mechanical Valve Replacement for Congenital Heart Disease Complicated by Native Pulmonary Valve Endocarditis: A Case Report and Literature Review

open access: yes, 2018
Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most common risk factors for infective endocarditis. However, it is rare to find a CHD patient complicated by isolated pulmonary valve endocarditis.

Pulmonary heart valve replacement using stabilized acellular xenogeneic scaffolds; effects of seeding with autologous stem cells

open access: yes, 2015
Background: We hypothesized that an ideal heart valve replacement would be acellular valve root scaffolds seeded with autologous stem cells. To test this hypothesis, we prepared porcine acellular pulmonary valves, seeded them with autologous adipose ...

Continuous‐Flow Left Ventricular Assist Devices in Biventricular Configuration: A Systematic Review and Comparative Meta‐Analysis of HeartMate 3 and HeartWare Biventricular Assist Devices

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
HeartWare‐BiVAD was associated with more frequent right ventricular cannulation, whereas HM3‐BiVAD demonstrated a trend toward improved survival despite a more severe preimplant clinical profile, suggesting a potential device‐related advantage of HM3 in biventricular support.

Mock Circulatory Loop With Autoregulated Renal Circulation Based on Perfusion Pressure for Circulatory Support Devices Evaluation

open access: yesArtificial Organs, EarlyView.
Renal autoregulation based on perfusion pressure, defined as the difference between mean arterial pressure and central venous pressure, was successfully implemented in a mock circulatory loop. This provides a platform to assess cardiovascular devices and therapies that may affect both pressures differently, such as ECMO support and intravenous fluid ...
