Engineering a New Polymeric Heart Valve Using 3D Printing-TRISKELION
Conclusions: The development of a heart valve with a central structure proves to be a promising concept. It offers another principle to address the problem of longevity in currently used heart valves. Using 3D printing to develop new prototypes provides a fast, effective, and accurate way to deepen understanding of its physical properties and requirements. This opens the door for translating and combining results into modern prototypes using highly biocompatible polymers, internal structures, and advanced valve layouts.PMID:36422234 | PMC:PMC9696920 | DOI:10.3390/medicina58111695

Myocardial infarction and factor VIII elevation in a 36-year-old man
We report a 36-year-old man who had a myocardial infarction despite lacking traditional cardiac risk factors. He developed end-stage heart failure and renal insufficiency necessitating a HeartMate II left ventricular assist device (LVAD). While on the transplant list, he experienced two episodes of LVAD thrombosis 6 months apart, prompting device exchange and escalation of anticoagulation therapy. He eventually underwent a successful heart-kidney transplant before suffering an extensive left lower extremity deep vein thrombosis 6 weeks later. A thrombophilia workup revealed elevated factor VIII activity of 319% (normal ran...
