Modified Nikaidoh procedure for the correction of complex forms of transposition of the great arteries with ventricular septal defect and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction: mid-term results [PDF]
OBJECTIVES Different surgical techniques for the treatment of complex transposition of the great arteries (TGA) with ventricular septal defect and left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) have been developed, in particular the Rastelli ...

The living aortic valve: From molecules to function. [PDF]
The aortic valve lies in a unique hemodynamic environment, one characterized by a range of stresses (shear stress, bending forces, loading forces and strain) that vary in intensity and direction throughout the cardiac cycle.

Evolving management for critical pulmonary stenosis in neonates and young infants [PDF]
Over the years, management of critical pulmonary stenosis in young infants has evolved from surgical reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract and closed pulmonary valvotomy to transcatheter balloon valvoplasty.
