Durability of porcine and pericardial prostheses in tricuspid valve replacement.

Conference JTCVS Open · October 2024 OBJECTIVE: Biologic valves dominate tricuspid valve replacement, yet data on different valve types are lacking. We compare the survival and durability of porcine and pericardial tricuspid prostheses. METHODS: A retrospective review of consecutive patients ... Full text Link to item Cite

Infarct exclusion repair of postmyocardial infarction ventricular septal rupture with a hybrid patch and septal occluder device compared with patch only.

Conference JTCVS Tech · December 2023 OBJECTIVE: We developed a hybrid technique for repairing post-myocardial infarction (MI) ventricular septal defect (VSD) that combines infarct exclusion with patch and a nitinol-mesh septal occluder device (SOD) to provide a scaffold to support the damaged ...

Active contour based on the elliptical Fourier series, applied to matrix-array ultrasound of the heart

Conference Proceedings of SPIE the International Society for Optical Engineering · December 1, 1997 We describe an active contour based on the elliptical Fourier series, and its application to matrix-array ultrasound. Matrix-array ultrasound is a new medical imaging modality that scans a 3D-volume electronically without physically moving the transducer, ... Full text Cite

Preserved right ventricular systolic performance in right ventricular failure due to chronic pulmonary stenosis in the conscious dog

Conference FASEB Journal · December 1, 1996 Adaptations of right ventricular (RV) systolic performance to chronic pulmonary stenosis (PS) in clinical RV failure are poorly understood. Therefore, 7 dogs underwent chronic implantation of pneumatic pulmonary artery occluders, and epicardial dimension t ... Cite

In vivo indices of myocardial performance in cardic gene therapy

Conference FASEB Journal · December 1, 1996 Demonstrating the efficacy of Cardiac Gene Therapy (CGT) remains hindered by the inability to measure changes in in vivo cardiac function in small animals. Post-implantation of transfected biopsy-derived skeletal muscle cells into the left ventricle (LV) o ... Cite

Simultaneous computation of right and left ventricular systolic function

Conference Proceedings Computers in Cardiology Cic 1992 · January 1, 1992 Computer software for the IBM PC was developed to assess the contractile properties of the right and left ventricles simultaneously. Four indices of systolic function were computed from pressure and volume data. These four indices consist of the slopes and ... Full text Cite

Estimation of endocardial geometry and myocardial conductivity from catheter impedance measurements

Conference Proceedings of the Annual Conference on Engineering in Medicine and Biology · December 1, 1991 An impedance catheter volume measurement system was modeled in spherical and spheroidal configurations to see if geometric and conductivity parameters could be estimated from measured potentials. Good results were obtained in both noise free and noise adde ... Cite

DIRECT MEASUREMENT OF HIGH-PRESSURE GAS DENSITY WITH AN ION-CHAMBER DENSITOMETER.

Conference American Society of Mechanical Engineers Paper · January 1, 1974 The dependence of ion-chamber current on the density of the filling gas has been investigated, experimentally and analytically, to explore the use of an ion chamber as a high-pressure gas densitometer. A flat-plate ion chamber with a self-contained beta-pa ... Cite
