Comparing outcomes using low‐dose apixaban and anti‐Xa monitoring and vitamin K antagonists in patients with renal replacement therapy

open access: yesBritish Journal of Clinical Pharmacology, EarlyView.
Background Guidelines recommend oral anticoagulation for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation and secondary prevention of venous thromboembolism. Outside the United States, apixaban is unlicensed for use in patients with end‐stage renal disease (ESRD) receiving renal replacement therapy (RRT).

Outcomes of Minimally Invasive Valve Surgery Versus Standard Sternotomy in Obese Patients Undergoing Isolated Valve Surgery

open access: yes, 2011
We hypothesize that composite in-hospital surgical complications are lower in obese patients who undergo minimally invasive valve surgery for aortic and (or) mitral valve disease, when compared with the standard median sternotomy approach.

Compliant hydrogel cuff coating with real‐time pressure monitoring and antibiofilm capabilities for ventilator‐associated pneumonia prophylaxis

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
A soft‐compliant hydrogel cuff coating combines real‐time pressure monitoring with intrinsic antibacterial activity for prophylaxis of ventilator‐associated pneumonia. A flexible pressure‐sensing patch is embedded in the coating to enable wireless dynamic monitoring of endotracheal cuff pressure through Bluetooth.

Familial occurrence of mitral regurgitation in patients with mitral valve prolapse undergoing mitral valve surgery

open access: yes, 2019
Background: Initial studies have suggested the familial clustering of mitral valve prolapse, but most of them were either community based among unselected individuals or applied non-specific diagnostic criteria.

Hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine surface‐engineered bioprosthetic heart valves with anti‐calcification, anti‐infection, and durability

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
The challenges of bioprosthetic heart valves (BHV) with respect to calcification, infection, and poor durability are tackled by surface engineering of hyperbranched poly‐L‐lysine (HBPL), providing a translational solution to improve long‐term valve performance.

SURGICAL TREATMENT INDICATIONS IN ACQUIRED MITRAL VALVULAR DISEASES

open access: yesEurasian Journal of Medicine, 2019
Surgery of mitral valve is performed as closed or open mitral commissurotomy, mitral valve repair surgery and mitral valve replacement. The purpose of mitral valve surgery is to relieve the symptoms unresponsive to medical therapy, to improve the quality

Anti-Coagulation During Pregnancy in Women with Mechanical Heart Valves: A Prospective Study [PDF]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Fertility and Sterility, 2011
Background Pregnancy is associated with a hypercoagulable state, therefore the optimal anticoagulants for potential use in pregnant women with prosthetic heart valves are controversial.

Clinical Anatomy of the Left and Right Atrial Appendages in Humans: Comparative and Developmental Perspective

open access: yesClinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Human atrial chambers derive from distinct embryonic anlagens, the original embryonic atria gradually transforming into the so‐called auricles, or atrial appendages. This study quantifies macroscopic variations in pectinate muscle architecture in human atrial appendages and evaluates their visualization using clinical imaging modalities.
