Biomimetic-modified bioprosthetic heart valves with Cysteine-Alanine-Glycine peptide for anti-thrombotic, endothelialization and anti-calcification
In recent years, bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) prepared by cross-linking porcine or bovine pericardium with glutaraldehyde (Glut) have received widespread attention due to their excellent hemocompatibility and hydrodynamic properties. However, the failure of BHVs induced by thrombosis and difficulty in endothelialization still exists in clinical practice. Improving the biocompatibility and endothelialization potential of BHVs is conducive to promoting their anti-thrombosis properties and...

The Utility of Invengenx® Bovine Patch for Right Ventricular Outflow Tract (RVOT) Reconstruction and Augmentation in the Surgical Management of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF): A Contemporary Study and Review of the Literature
Background and objective Complex congenital heart diseases (CHDs), such as the tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), often warrant reconstruction and augmentation of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT). This procedure requires the use of both synthetic and natural materials. However, finding the ideal material for tissue implants can be challenging. Biological materials often face issues such as tissue degeneration, calcium deposition, antigenicity, rejection, shrinkage, and fibrosis. These issues...
Surviving the nonsurvivable combination of a mycotic aneurysm progressing into a concomitant aorto-bronchial- and aorto-esophageal fistula, a case report
Aortic mycotic aneurysms are a rare but life-threatening condition and may be associated with aorto-bronchial- and aorto-esophageal fistulas. Although both very rare, they carry a high mortality and require (u...
