Minimally invasive and transcatheter techniques in high-risk cardiac surgery

TL;DR: For high-risk patients with coronary artery disease, off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery via various surgical access routes can be performed and transcatheter aortic valve replacement and the MitraClip were developed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Endovascular treatment of an anastomotic outflow graft pseudoaneurysm of the descending aorta after implantation of a left ventricular assist device.

TL;DR: Outflow graft obstruction is a dangerous complication that may occur for various reasons after the implantation of the left ventricular assist device (LVAD).
Proceedings ArticleDOI

Inflow Cannula Pressure Sensor for Autonomous Dynamic Ventricular Assist Device Control

TL;DR: In this article , the authors proposed that the inability of current generation VADs to dynamically adapt the pumping power to the real-time perfusion needs of the human body is the cause of adverse effects such as congestion or ventricular wall collapse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Tailoring crystallinity for hemocompatible and durable PEEK cardiovascular implants.

TL;DR: In this paper , the enhancement of PEEK hemocompatibility with polymer crystallinity was explored, and the functional group density of the PEEK samples was determined, showing that higher crystallinity results in increased amount of surface carbonyl functional groups.

Sichere Anwendbarkeit von 3D-Echokardiographie-Angiogrpahie Fusionstechnologie bei komplexen Mitralklappen Interventionen im Hybrid-Operationssaal

TL;DR: Die Standardtherapie zur Behandlung der Mitralklappeninsuffizienz ist die chirurgische Rekonstruktion, anderswo gibt es für Hochrisikopatienten mit dem MitraClip eine katheterbasierte Alternative wie transoesophageale Echokardiographie and Angiographie.
