The main focus of drug carrier research today is to identify carriers that are both safe and effective for clinical treatment applications. As treatment strategies advance researchers regularly update drug delivery systems. Traditional drug delivery systems consist of liposomes and polymer micelles together with nanoparticles but despite their inclusion in clinical trials current versions still ...
The field of medicine is constantly evolving, with new procedures and technologies emerging that improve patient outcomes and reduce recovery times. As these innovations advance, the materials that make them possible become increasingly important. One such group of materials, fluoropolymers, is proving to be essential for a variety of cutting-edge medical procedures. Known for their exceptional ...
One significant application is in transcatheter aortic valve replacements (TAVR), a minimally invasive procedure that revolutionizes aortic valve disease treatment. Interventional echocardiography provides real-time visualization, aiding in precise valve placement and ensuring successful outcomes. Beyond TAVR, ...
The safety and efficacy of this novel device in aortic valve (AV) repair in a single referral center are reported. Methods: Twenty patients with trileaflet AV insufficiency with ascending aorta and/or aortic root enlargement were included. ...
Common examples include holes in the walls of the heart and narrowed or leaky valves. In more severe forms of CHDs, blood vessels or heart chambers may be missing, poorly formed and/or in the wrong place. ...
Abstract Objective: In chronic aortic insufficiency (AI), the method and degree of annular downsizing required to achieve durable coaptation in aortic valve repair (AVr) remains poorly defined. This study evaluated the relationship between leaflet size and annular diameter to predict adequate annular sizing in remodeling AVr. Methods: Under regulatory supervision, 74 patients with chronic ...
