Fifteen to thirty percentage of patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) have preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and a discordant AS pattern at Doppler echocardiography, wh...
Valve repair for aortic insufficiency (AI) requires a tailored surgical approach determined by the leaflet and aortic disease. In this study, we used a repair-oriented system for the classif...
Many adults with repaired tetralogy of Fallot will require a pulmonary valve replacement (PVR), but there is no consensus on the best timing. In this study, we aim to evaluate the impact of ...
The aim of this study was to evaluate very long-term results after unrestricted everolimus-eluting bioresorbable scaffolds (BRS) implantation.Previous randomized studies mainly included sele...
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (hoFH) can cause severe atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in early infancy. Diagnosis and initiation of effective lipid-lowering therapy...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a very common tachyarrhythmia with increasing prevalence with age, but uncommon in the pediatric population. Understanding that AF increases comorbidities make th...
Complex-shaped light fields with specially designed intensity, phase, and polarization distributions are highly demanded for various applications including optical tweezers, laser material p...
Patients who have experienced an acute coronary syndrome should be evaluated in the office setting soon after hospital discharge. First follow-up appointments more than 6 weeks after dischar...
Mechanisms of scar-related ventricular tachycardia (VT) are largely based on computational and animal models that portray a 2-dimensional view.The authors sought to delineate the human VT ci...
A clear understanding of the normal anatomy of the glanular urethra is essential for anatomical reconstruction of the male urethra. In hypospadias surgery, tubularization of the neourethra o...
Benign biliary strictures arise mostly from iatrogenic injuries during surgical procedures and various inflammatory causes. Endoscopic placement of multiple plastic stents (MPS) is often reg...
The objective of this study was to investigate and discuss the effect of direct angioplasty therapy on acute middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) patients with good leptomeningeal collate...
The long-term effects of postoperative complications following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are unknown.Medicare-linked records from the Society of Thoracic Surgeons Adult Cardiac ...
Black-white gaps in high-quality hospital use are documented, but the relative contributions of various factors are unclear. The objective of this study was to quantify the contributions of ...
Previous studies indicate that early revascularization appears to reduce mortality among patients with acute MI that is complicated by cardiogenic shock. Approximately 80% of MI patients wit...
Aortic valve calcification leads to the deposition of calcium phosphate minerals in the extracellular matrix of the aortic valve leaflets. The mineral deposits can severely narrow the openin...
In tissue engineering, it is a significant idea to make artificial bile ducts in vitro for repairing and replacing diseased bile ducts. This study printed a tubular composite scaffold using ...
While endoscopic management of benign biliary strictures (BBSs) is the standard of care, long-term treatment remains the issue in refractory cases, especially for anastomotic strictures a...
Analyzing occlusion, complications rate and clinical results in unruptured saccular middle cerebral artery aneurysms comparing clipping to the most advance and newer endovascular techniques...
Remote ischaemic conditioning (RIC) has been shown to prevent platelet activation during ablation for atrial fibrillation. RIC has also been associated with more postoperative transfusion in...
