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 ...
In honor of World Heart Day on September 29, we're diving into the world of cardiovascular diagnostics. Echocardiography, one of the most widely used screening and diagnostic modalities in healthcare, has seen a resurgence thanks to advances and groundbreaking innovations within the last few years. Join us as we explore the top trends shaping these diagnostic methods. 1. ...
Abstract Background and aim of the study: HAART 300 is an internal geometric annuloplasty ring. 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. Subannular implantation was performed to correct annular ...
An estimated 2.4 million American children and adults are currently living with congenital heart defects (CHDs). Learn more about different types of CHDs, causes and treatment options. Learning that your child has a CHD can be a scary and overwhelming experience, but it’s important to know that you’re not alone. Nearly 40,000 infants in the U.S. are born each year with CHDs, and ...
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 ...
