Sentence examples for functional leaflets from inspiring English sources

Tissue engineered heart valves have been proposed to resolve these issues by implanting a scaffold that is replaced by endogenous growth, leaving autologous, functional leaflets that would putatively eliminate the need for anticoagulation and avoid calcification.

Maturation of the valve is a multistep process involving activation, proliferation, EnMT of the endocardial ECs and, finally, maturation of the cellularized cushions into functional valve leaflets by E13.5.

In the present study, we sought to determine if these phenomena were reproducible at the organ level in a functional tri-leaflet valve.

Leaflet functional test results showed that the valve leaflets in the fabricated stented valve coapted properly and the regurgitation leakage being within acceptable limits.

The results show that patterns of language use differ across two text types, and that the observed differences are linked with the situational and functional characteristics of patient information leaflets and summaries of product characteristics.

To demonstrate the clinical potential, we simulate the functional adaptation of a heart valve leaflet in ischemic cardiomyopathy.

My colleagues and I hypothesized that modifying the shape of the annular prosthesis to account for the specific anatomy of functional mitral regurgitation could challenge extreme leaflet tethering.

This aspect is interesting as gangliosides are not evenly distributed in cell membranes, but only in the outer leaflet, where they p]articipate in rafts, functional microdomains enriched in special lipids including cholesterol.

One of the models was then coated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) with leaflets sutured and put to: (i) leaflet functional tests to check for proper coaptation of the leaflet and regurgitation leakages on a phantom model and (ii) anchorage test where the stented valve was deployed in an explanted pig heart.

Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is the inability of mitral leaflets to coapt due to a combination of functional and geometrical factors.

Heterogeneities in structure and stress within heart valve leaflets are of significant concern to their functional physiology, as they affect how the tissue constituents remodel in response to pathological and non-pathological (e.g. exercise, pregnancy) alterations in cardiac function.
