Is polytetrafluoroethylene neochordae noninferior to leaflet resection in repair of isolated posterior mitral leaflet prolapse : a multicentre study?
ePTFE neochordae is noninferior to resection repair for posterior mitral leaflet prolapse. Both techniques have comparable early and mid-term postoperative outcomes with low mortality, and a low incidence of reoperation and recurrent mitral regurgitation.
Combined inhibition of Raf and VEGFR2 disrupts oncogenic signaling and efficiently reduces tumor growth and vascularization of HCC. Hence, this strategy could prove valuable for therapy of HCC.
