Prevention of pulmonary embolism and deep vein thrombosis with low dose aspirin: Pulmonary Embolism Prevention (PEP) trial

Jeremy L. O'Brien, +327 more
- 15 Apr 2000 - 
TL;DR: In this article, a meta-analysis of their results indicated reductions in the risks of deep-vein thrombosis and of pulmonary embolism in various high-risk groups.

Heart valve prosthesis

TL;DR: In this article, a prosthetic valve with three post and three scallops is presented, which is tri-symmetric with an axis of symmetry defined by the axis of blood flow through the valve.
Journal ArticleDOI

Twenty year comparison of a Bjork-Shiley mechanical heart valve with porcine bioprostheses

TL;DR: Survival with an intact valve is better among patients with the Bjork-Shiley spherical tilting disc prosthesis than with a porcine prosthesis but there is an attendant increased risk of bleeding.
Journal ArticleDOI

Respiratory dysfunction after uncomplicated cardiopulmonary bypass

TL;DR: Serial measurements of arterial oxygen tension, alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient, and percentage pulmonary shunt fraction measured by a noninvasive technique were made in 129 patients undergoing isolated coronary artery operations and 30 patients undergoing general surgical procedures to quantify its current incidence and severity after uncomplicated cardiopulmonary bypass.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyurethane: material for the next generation of heart valve prostheses?

TL;DR: In the absence of valve-related death and morbidity, and retention of good haemodynamic function, thePU valve was superior to the bioprosthesis; lower HITS and aggregate counts in the PU valve imply lower thrombogenicity compared with the mechanical valve.
