In Vitro Durability - Pivot bearing with Diamond Like Carbon for Ventricular Assist Devices [PDF]

arXiv, 2015
Institute Dante Pazzanese of Cardiology (IDPC) develops Ventricular Assist Devices (VAD) that can stabilize the hemodynamics of patients with severe heart failure before, during and/or after the medical practice; can be temporary or permanent. The ADV's centrifugal basically consist of a rotor suspended for system pivoting bearing; the PIVOT is the ...

Incorporating Clinical Examination Skills Into a Preclinical Anatomy Course: A Method for Facilitating Engagement and Interest

Clinical Anatomy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Anatomy instruction is enhanced when students are engaged and interested in course material, and the relevance of the subject matter to their academic success and professional careers is emphasized. We developed a learning activity for a pre‐clinical anatomy course using the clinical skills of inspection and palpation of a cadaver donor to ...

Aortic Root Anatomy and Impact on New‐Onset Left Bundle Branch Block After Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Angulation of virtual basal ring (VBR), also known as aortic annulus, in relation to sino‐tubular junction (STJ) may lead to greater exposure of implanted stent to the conduction system, consequently increasing the risk of left bundle branch block (LBBB).

Prospective Analysis of the Feasibility of the PASCAL System for Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (OneForAll‐Registry)

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Mitral valve transcatheter edge‐to‐edge repair (M‐TEER) is increasingly applied in patients with high surgical risk. We aimed to evaluate whether the PASCAL system can be applied in an all‐comers cohort irrespective of the underlying anatomy and whether technical features influence therapeutic success.
