Invasive and noninvasive cardiovascular monitoring options for cardiac surgery.

Mitochondrial transplantation has been shown to preserve myocardial function and viability in adult porcine hearts donated after circulatory death (DCD) . Herein, we investigate the efficacy of mitochondrial transplantation for the preservation of myocardial function and viability in neonatal and pediatric porcine DCD heart donation.

Mitochondrial transplantation preserves myocardial function and viability in pediatric and neonatal pig hearts donated after circulatory death.

Very high-risk, ductal-dependent or complex two-ventricle patients with associated comorbidities often require pulmonary blood flow restriction as bridge to a more definitive procedure, but current surgical options may not be well-tolerated. An evolving alternative utilizes a fenestrated Micro Vascular Plug (MVP) as a transcatheter, internal pulmonary artery band. In this study, we report a case series and an in-vitro evaluation of the MVP to elicit understanding of the challenges faced with device implantation.

Transcatheter Pulmonary Artery Banding in High-Risk Neonates: In-Vitro Study Provoked by Initial Clinical Experience.

Thick-patch pulmonary homograft, autologous pericardium, and CardioCel Neo are common patch materials for aortic arch reconstruction. Insufficient data exists on sutured patch strength and limits of use. We evaluated failure strength of these materials to develop a failure prediction model for clinical guidance.
