Percutaneous Aortic Valve Replacement


$29.95


Aortic valve stenosis (AS) is a heart disease caused by the incomplete opening of the aortic valve in the heart. Under some circumstances, the aortic valve becomes narrower than normal, impeding the flow of blood. This is known as aortic valve stenosis, or aortic stenosis. While discussing traditional therapies for this condition, this talk will focus on valve replacement through a new, less invas…

 A pulsatile bioreactor for conditioning tissue engineered heart valves.


A pulsatile bioreactor for conditioning tissue engineered heart valves.


$49.99


Tissue engineered constructs with autologous adult stem cells capable of self-repair and growth are highly desired replacements for diseased heart valves. However, the current approaches have inadequate mechanical properties to withstand in vivo implantation. Therefore, our group hypothesized that an in vitro environment of physiological intra-cardiac pressures and flow will stimulate stem cells to differentiate and remodel valvular scaffold constructs before implantation.;The group developed a pneumatic-driven conditioning system (Aim I) consisting of a three-chambered heart valve bioreactor, a pressurized compliance tank, a reservoir tank, one-way valves, pressure-retaining valves, and pressure transducers. The system can be sterilized using conventional autoclaving and ethylene oxide gas. The most novel feature is its ability to accommodate all clinically relevant sizes of stented or stentless biological, mechanical, or tissue engineered substitutes. A tissue derived heart valve substitute was used to test the bioreactor’s functional capabilities (Aim II) at 60 beats per minute. The tests resulted in excellent opening and closing of the valve, pulsatile flows reaching 1400 mL per minute, and aortic pressures reaching 100 mmHg. The bioreactor then tested tissue engineered heart valves (Aim III) made from decellularized and lightly cross-linked tissues. Two stentless porcine aortic heart valves were conditioned in the bioreactor for 21 days. The first was seeded with adipose-derived stem cells (valve 1) and the second with aortic endothelial cells (valve 2). The third valve was made of valve-shaped fibrous sheets encasing a spongy collagen scaffold. It was seeded with human bone marrow-derived stem cells (valve 3) and conditioned in the bioreactor for 8 days. After progressive adaptation, valves were tested at 60 beats per minute and 10 mL per stroke. Each experiment also included a static control.;The bioreactor created proper closing and opening of the heart

Active infective endocarditis is one of the most serious diseases of the heart. Infection often causes periannular abscess, and may also spread to affect the mitral valve structures. This complication carries a high mortality rate and valve replacement followed by intensive care and antibiotic treatment may be the only option to save patientsa (TM) lives. Severe hemodynamic depression caused by bacterial shock, is today no longer a counter-indication, and the second major risk factor, that of postoperative reinfection, has been greatly reduced by using homografts and new valve prostheses that are resistant to bacterial infection. Timely operation, before complex destruction of cardiac structures occurs, achieves a much higher rate of survival. This assessment of the results of surgical treatment of active infective endocarditis was performed at the German Heart Institute Berlin. It focuses on preoperative investigation and proposes a new classification of this endocarditic disease.

Adam’s Heart: An Inspiring Story about One Man’s Fight Against Heart Disease


$10.95


In the inspirational autobiography Adam”s Heart, author Adam Robinson shares his life-changing ordeal with heart disease.At the age of twenty-four, author Adam Robinson went in for a routine physical and was told that he had a heart condition. After deciding that it was better to put off the surgery to allow for advances in technology, Adam didn”t think much about his condition until he suffered from a heart attack at age twenty-nine. Days later he had open-heart surgery to replace his aortic valve. Adam recovered quickly and his heart was repaired-but not his mind. For many years Adam was on disability income, depressed and obese, and was in a tremendous amount of pain. But he finally made the conscious decision to get physically fit. He is now learning how to control the old habits that were harming his body, such as eating lots of fast food, drinking too much soda, and too many trips to the popular all-you-can-eat buffet lines.Even though he sometimes struggles to maintain his fitness regimen, Adam is strong in mind, body, and sprit. He has vowed to continue the fight to keep healthy, not only for himself, but also for the ones that he loves.
