Journal ArticleDOI
Percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation based on rapid prototyping of right ventricular outflow tract and pulmonary trunk from MR data
Silvia Schievano,Francesco Migliavacca,Louise Coats,Sachin Khambadkone,Mario Carminati,Neil Wilson,John E. Deanfield,Philipp Bonhoeffer,Andrew M. Taylor +8 more
TL;DR: Using 3D RP models resulted in more accurate selection of patients for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation (PPVI) than did using MR images.
Journal ArticleDOI
Variations in right ventricular outflow tract morphology following repair of congenital heart disease: implications for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation.
Silvia Schievano,Louise Coats,Francesco Migliavacca,Wendy Norman,Alessandra Frigiola,John E. Deanfield,Philipp Bonhoeffer,Andrew M. Taylor +7 more
TL;DR: Though only 13% of patients underwent percutaneous implantation, > 50% of outflow tract morphologies may be suitable for this approach, in particular with the development of new devices appropriate for larger outflow.
Journal ArticleDOI
Stainless and shape memory alloy coronary stents: a computational study on the interaction with the vascular wall
Francesco Migliavacca,Lorenza Petrini,Paolo Massarotti,Silvia Schievano,Ferdinando Auricchio,Gabriele Dubini +5 more
TL;DR: Compared with the self-expandable stent, the former induces fewer stresses and lower damage to the vessel, but, on the other hand, its lower stiffness induces a lower capability to restore vasal lumen and to contrast arterial elastic recoil.
Journal ArticleDOI
First-in-man implantation of a novel percutaneous valve: a new approach to medical device development.
Silvia Schievano,Andrew M. Taylor,Claudio Capelli,Louise Coats,Fiona Walker,Philipp Lurz,Johannes Nordmeyer,Susan Wright,Sachin Khambadkone,Victor Tsang,Mario Carminati,Philipp Bonhoeffer +11 more
TL;DR: Safe, effective percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation is possible in a patient with a dilated, native pulmonary trunk, and may be safer and more relevant, potentially reducing the number of animal experiments necessary for testing new medical devices.
Journal ArticleDOI
Improvement in left ventricular filling properties after relief of right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduit obstruction: contribution of septal motion and interventricular mechanical delay.
Philipp Lurz,Rajesh Puranik,Johannes Nordmeyer,Vivek Muthurangu,Michael S. Hansen,Silvia Schievano,Jan Marek,Philipp Bonhoeffer,Andrew M. Taylor +8 more
TL;DR: Relief of RV to PA conduit obstruction significantly improves early LV filling properties, attributed to more favourable septal motion and reduction in interventricular mechanical delay.
