Journal ArticleDOI
Assessment of inflammatory response to transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation compared to transapical and surgical procedures: a pilot study.
Barbara E. Stähli,Jürg Grünenfelder,Stephan Jacobs,Volkmar Falk,Ulf Landmesser,Manfred Wischnewsky,Thomas F. Lüscher,Roberto Corti,Willibald Maier,Lukas Altwegg +9 more
TL;DR: Higher hs-CRP levels and leukocyte counts following AVR and apical TAVI suggest less inflammation following femoral procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mitral valve surgical procedures in the elderly.
Joerg Seeburger,Volkmar Falk,Jens Garbade,Thilo Noack,Philipp Kiefer,Marcel Vollroth,Friedrich Wilhelm Mohr,Martin Misfeld +7 more
TL;DR: MV operations in the elderly can be performed with a low early mortality and promising long-term survival, however, it is demonstrated that comorbidities are to be attributed as the real burden for successful treatment of elderly patients undergoing MV procedures.
Journal ArticleDOI
Early Clinical Results After Stentless Mitral Valve Implantation and Comparison With Conventional Valve Repair or Replacement
Thomas Walther,Claudia Walther,Volkmar Falk,Anno Diegeler,R. Krakor,Johannes Schneider,Rüdiger Autschbach,Friedrich W. Mohr +7 more
TL;DR: One year after clinical implantation, the QMV appears to function well and has no additional risks compared with MVR or MVP, and echocardiography reveals an excellent valve performance that resembles native mitral valve morphology and hemodynamic function.
Journal ArticleDOI
Impact of Off-Pump Coronary Bypass Grafting on the Prevalence of Adverse Perioperative Outcome in Women Undergoing Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting Surgery
Jan Bucerius,Jan Gummert,Thomas Walther,Michael A. Borger,Nicolas Doll,Volkmar Falk,Friedrich W. Mohr +6 more
TL;DR: OPCAB in female patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery is safe and seems to be beneficial with regard to perioperative outcome as compared with conventional on-pump CABG, which may be an effective method of lowering morbidity and mortality in these relatively high-risk patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Decellularized amniotic membrane attenuates postinfarct left ventricular remodeling.
Rajika Roy,Tobias Haase,Nan Ma,Andreas Matthaeus Bader,Matthias Becker,Martina Seifert,Yeong-Hoon Choi,Volkmar Falk,Christof Stamm +8 more
TL;DR: Decellularized AM supports postinfarct ventricular dynamics independent of the actual regeneration processes, and is seen as a cell-free approach to support the infarcted heart.
