Minimally invasive direct access heart valve surgery [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
We review our experience with minimally invasive direct access (MIDA) heart valve surgery in 518 patients. Two hundred fifty-two patients underwent MIDA aortic valve replacement (AVR) or repair and 266 underwent MIDA mitral valve repair or replacement ...

A Novel Parameter Estimation Method for Pneumatic Soft Hand Control Applying Logarithmic Decrement for Pseudo‐Rigid Body Modeling

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, Volume 7, Issue 3, March 2025.
In this research, a paradigm of parameter estimation method for pneumatic soft hand control is proposed. The method includes the following: 1) sampling harmonic damping waves, 2) applying pseudo‐rigid body modeling and the logarithmic decrement method, and 3) deriving position and force control.

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

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.

Iatrogenic aortic valve injury following mitral valve surgery: A systematic review [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Research
Iatrogenic aortic regurgitation after mitral valve surgery is the consequence of either direct stitching-related perforation or indirect distortion of aortomitral fibrous continuity by the mitral ring/prosthesis.

Microfluidic Valve‐Integrated Garment for Smooth Sequential Gradient Mechanotherapy

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
We present a soft wearable sleeve that delivers smooth, gap‐free compression using overlapping air‐filled actuators and tiny microfluidic valves. The system reduces bulk, lowers power needs, and uses a smartphone‐sized control box. It can provide sequential gradient compression, gradient pressure holding, and fast deflation, supporting more portable ...

Small‐Scale Magnetic Peristaltic Soft Robot With Mobility and Transport Capabilities

open access: yesAdvanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This study introduces a miniature, untethered soft magnetic microrobot with peristaltic capabilities for both locomotion and cargo transport. Eight helically magnetized elastomeric strips deform under rotating fields (10–80 mT, 1–5 Hz), enabling movement across rods and lumina at up to 4.1 body lengths min‐¹.

Mitral valve surgery in children

open access: yesThe Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery, 1989
Between October 1968 and May 1985, 113 symptomatic pediatric patients (15 years or younger) had operation for rheumatic mitral stenosis or regurgitation. All were in functional classes III and IV of the New York Heart Association classification. The ages ranged from 5 to 15 years. There were 59 female and 50 male children.
