Journal ArticleDOI
Mitral Annular Evaluation With CT in the Context of Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement
Philipp Blanke,Danny Dvir,Anson Cheung,Robert A. Levine,Christopher R. Thompson,John G. Webb,Jonathon Leipsic +6 more
TL;DR: This work has shown that the nonplanar, saddle-shaped, 3-dimensional structure of the mitral annulus has been well established with the advent of transcatheter mitral valve replacement.
Journal ArticleDOI
Anatomy of the mitral valve apparatus: role of 2D and 3D echocardiography.
TL;DR: This review details the normal anatomy, histology, and function of the main mitral valve apparatus components: mitral annulus, mitral valves leaflets, chordae tendineae, and papillary muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Restricted diastolic opening of the mitral leaflets in patients with left ventricular dysfunction: evidence for increased valve tethering.
Yutaka Otsuji,Dan Gilon,Leng Jiang,Shengqiu He,Marcia Leavitt,Marc J. Roy,Mary Jane Birmingham,Robert A. Levine +7 more
TL;DR: Patients with LV dysfunction and systolic IMLC also have restricted diastolic leaflet excursion that is independent of inflow volume, coincides with the tethering line connecting the annulus and papillary muscle and reflects limitation of anterior motion relative to the posteriorly placed papillary muscles.
Journal ArticleDOI
Malaria diagnosis by direct observation of centrifuged samples of blood.
Andrew Spielman,Joseph B. Perrone,Awash Teklehaimanot,Fekade Balcha,Stephen C. Wardlaw,Robert A. Levine +5 more
TL;DR: D diagnosis by direct centrifugation appears to be at least 8 times as sensitive as conventional microscopy when applied to serially diluted samples of malaria-infected blood.
Patent
Method for the detection, identification, enumeration and confirmation of circulating cancer cells and/or hemotologic progenitor cells in whole blood
TL;DR: In this paper, a method for analyzing blood enables one to isolate, detect, enumerate and confirm under magnification the presence or absence of target cancer cells and/or hematologic progenitor cells which are known to circulate in blood.
