Journal ArticleDOI

Variations in right ventricular outflow tract morphology following repair of congenital heart disease: implications for percutaneous pulmonary valve implantation.

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

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.

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.

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.
