Journal ArticleDOI

Long-term follow-up of morbidity and mortality after aortic valve replacement with a mechanical valve prosthesis.

TL;DR: Previous bleedings and previous thromboembolism were powerful risk factors for repeated events in patients with a mechanical aortic valve prosthesis and these factors strongly related to valve related morbidity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Prevention of postoperative pericardial adhesions by closure of the pericardium with absorbable polymer patches. An experimental study.

TL;DR: It was concluded that in this animal model poly-hydroxy-butyrate pericardial patches decreased adhesions and preserved coronary anatomy, and demonstrated that pericARDial surgery in the sheep was associated with adhesion formation.
Journal ArticleDOI

A biodegradable patch used as a pericardial substitute after cardiac surgery: 6- and 24-month evaluation with CT.

TL;DR: Computerised tomography indicated a lower incidence of postoperative adhesions between the patch and the cardiac surface in the patch group, compared with the corresponding area in the non-patch group.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enlargement of the Right Ventricular Outflow Tract and the Pulmonary Artery with a New Biodegradable Patch in Transannular Position

TL;DR: It is concluded that absorbable, nonwoven patches of PHB can be used as a scaffold for tissue regeneration in low-pressure systems and had structural and biochemical qualities in common with the native pulmonary artery.
