Atrioventricular septal defect (AVSD) covers a spectrum of heart anomalies with a common
atrioventricular connection and has an incidence of 4–5.3 per 10.000 live births. About half …

Visualization and quantification of the adverse effects of distorted blood flow are important
emerging fields in cardiology. Abnormal blood flow patterns can be seen in various …

Background—To facilitate the optimal timing of pulmonary valve replacement, we analyzed
preoperative thresholds of right ventricular (RV) volumes above which no decrease or …

Background—Pulmonary regurgitation (PR) late after total correction for tetralogy of Fallot
may lead to progressive right ventricular (RV) dilatation and an increased incidence of …

Objective: Several decellularisation techniques have been developed to produce acellular
matrix scaffolds for the purpose of tissue engineering, mostly comprising (non-) ionic …

OBJECTIVES To evaluate the impact of 3D printed models (3D models) on surgical planning
in complex congenital heart disease (CHD). METHODS A prospective case-crossover study …

Congenital heart disease is the most common birth defect and functionally univentricular
heart defects represent the most severe end of this spectrum. The Fontan circulation …

Aims To analyse the long-term outcomes after pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in
patients with a previous correction for tetralogy of Fallot. Methods and results In a …

Aims The right ventricle (RV) remodels early after pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) in
tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) patients. Previously reported preoperative thresholds to achieve …

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDC) are central players in the innate and adaptive immune
response against viral infections. The molecular mechanism that underlies pDC …
