To assess the impact of using the left ventricular lead pacing technique in transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedure.

The Perceval Sutureless prosthesis can increase the effective orifice area (EOA) and reduce the chance of prosthesis–patient mismatch (PPM). This report presents three patients with challenging degenerated bio...

Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) offer advantages over mechanical valves but are limited by long-term degeneration and calcification. This study aimed to develop a durable BHV material using decellularized bovine pericardium (BP) and alternative cross-linking strategies. BP was decellularized using a combination of sodium deoxycholate (SDC) and Triton X-100 (TX), which removed cellular components while preserving the extracellular matrix (ECM), as confirmed by histological, DNA quantification,...

The safety and efficacy of prophylactic corticosteroid administration during the perioperative period of cardiac surgery have undergone extensive and comprehensive examination. In this study, we conducted a bi...

In the era of minimally invasive valve surgery (MIVS), automated titanium fasteners such as Cor Knot®, have reduced aortic-cross clamp (AXC) and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) times to improve survival outcomes....

The safety and efficacy of prophylactic corticosteroid administration during the perioperative period of cardiac surgery have undergone extensive and comprehensive examination. In this study, we conducted a bi...

CONCLUSIONS: The experimental model of TAA using a bovine pericardial patch and a sequential clamping technique provided a stable and reliable platform that remains stable and patent for up to 4 weeks. This model can be extremely valuable for assessing new endovascular therapy options in living organisms.

Sepsis-induced myocardial injury (SIMI) leads to high morbidity and mortality. The 5-methylcytosine (m5C) RNA methyltransferase NOL1/NOP2/SUN domain (NSUN)2 is a therapeutic target for many diseases. The purpose ...
