Journal ArticleDOI
Tissue heart valves: Current challenges and future research perspectives
TL;DR: Tissue valve mineralization has complex host, implant, and mechanical determinants and degradation mechanisms are largely rationalized on the basis of the changes to natural valves when they are fabricated into a tissue valve, and the subsequent interactions with the physiologic environment that are induced following implantation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Radiofrequency ablation followed by resection of malignant liver tumors.
Charles H. Scudamore,Shung I Lee,Emma J. Patterson,Andrzej K. Buczkowski,Laura V. July,Stephen W. Chung,Anne R Buckley,Stephen G.F Ho,David A. Owen +8 more
TL;DR: The gross pathologic and histochemical changes induced by RFA in benign and malignant human liver tissue are delineated and the tumor necrosis described in early clinical reports is confirmed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pathological considerations in replacement cardiac valves.
TL;DR: The significance, morphology, and pathogenesis of the major complications and other alterations during function of mechanical, bioprosthetic, and allograft valves are reviewed.
Book ChapterDOI
Heart valve regeneration.
TL;DR: Heart valve tissue engineering requires an understanding of relationships of structure to function in normal and pathological valves, and the ability to control cell and tissue responses to injury, physical stimuli and biomaterial surfaces, through chemical, pharmacological, mechanical and potentially genetic manipulations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Application of tissue-engineering principles toward the development of a semilunar heart valve substitute.
Christopher K. Breuer,Bret A. Mettler,Tiffany Anthony,Virna L. Sales,Frederick J. Schoen,John E. Mayer +5 more
TL;DR: This review addresses the need for a tissue-engineered alternative to the current heart valve replacement options and the early clinical applications of cardiovascular tissue engineering.
