Journal Article

Biomaterial-associated calcification: pathology, mechanisms, and strategies for prevention.

TL;DR: Research objectives in biomaterial-associated calcification include development of animal models, determination of initial crystal nucleation events and sites, elucidation of the relative roles of host, implant, and mechanical determinants, and development of approaches for the inhibition of mineralization.
Journal Article

Characterization of tissue morphology, angiogenesis, and temperature in the adaptive response of muscle tissue to chronic heating.

TL;DR: These findings more completely characterize the perfusion component of the current mathematical model for heat transfer in tissue and will help to establish guidelines for the functional heat loss that an implantable, heat-producing device may allow.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural and left ventricular histologic changes after implantable LVAD insertion

TL;DR: It is concluded that implantable LVAD support is associated with immediate changes in ventricular structure, which do not indicate "recovery" of left ventricular function, but merely changes in loading conditions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Left ventricular echocardiographic and histologic changes: Impact of chronic unloading by an implantable ventricular assist device

TL;DR: Left ventricular unloading with the implantable assist device induces an immediate increase in wall thickness, consistent with the reduction in chamber size, thereby decreasing wall stress.
Journal Article

Chronic nonpulsatile blood flow in an alive, awake animal 34-day survival.

TL;DR: The following case report documents the effects of chronic nonpulsatile blood flow in an alive, awake animal maintained with fibrillating ventricles for a period of 34 days.
