Does real-time transthoracic three-dimensional echocardiography provide additional information of left-sided AV valve morphology after AVSD repair?
This study demonstrate that RT-3DE is feasible in daily practice and provides new insight into the dynamic morphology of the left-sided AV valve and LVOT anatomy after AVSD repair.
Regenerative therapy using nanofiber-expanded hematopoietic stem cells with overexpression of VEGF and PDGF has a favorable impact on the improvement of rat myocardial function accompanied by upregulation of tissue connexin 43 and pro-angiogenic molecules after infarction.
