Saddle shape of the mitral annulus reduces systolic strains on the P2 segment of the posterior mitral leaflet.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: The three-dimensional saddle shape of the mitral annulus is well characterized in animals and humans, but the impact of annular nonplanarity on valve function or mechanics is poorly understood. In this study, we investigated the impact ... Read more...


A comparison of mechanical properties of materials used in aortic arch reconstruction.

30 Oct 2009 BACKGROUND: Differences in the mechanical properties of aortic tissues and replacement materials can have unwanted hemodynamic effects leading to graft failure. The aim of this experimental study was to compare the mechanical properties of different ... Read more...


Three-dimensional patellar motion at the natural knee during passive flexion/extension. An in vitro study.

30 Oct 2009 Patellar maltracking may result in many patellofemoral joint (PFJ) disorders in the natural and replaced knee. The literature providing quantitative reference for normal PFJ kinematics according to which patellar maltracking could be identified is ... Read more...
