Nonresectional repair of the barlow mitral valve: importance of dynamic annular evaluation.

29 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The most extensive form of myxomatous degeneration of the mitral valve causing severe mitral regurgitation is "Barlow disease." Surgical repair of this condition has been considered difficult because of the extent and magnitude of ... Read more...

A randomized, controlled, prospective trial to evaluate the haemostatic effect of Lyostypt versus Surgicel in arterial bypass anastomosis: "COBBANA" trial.

27 Sep 2009 BACKGROUND: The development of suture hole bleeding at peripheral arterial bypass anastomoses using PTFE graft prostheses is a common problem in peripheral vascular surgery. Traditionally the problem is managed by compression with surgical swabs and ... Read more...

Instructional PowerPoint presentations for cutaneous wound healing and tissue response to sutures.

13 Sep 2009 Wound healing is an intricate process involving the interaction of cells and molecules, resulting in a complex series of events that change the morphology and characteristics of the wounded area. Interactive animations are useful for illustrating ... Read more...
