DOI: 10.1097/mat.0000000000000510
Abstract: Currently, clinicians are seeking new, minimally invasive treatment options for functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR). Challenging tricuspid complexity requires the evaluation of the treatment techniques in adequate and realistic preclinical scenario. The purpose of this article… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/joa.13611
Abstract: Following a myocardial infarction (MI), the prognosis of patients is highly dependent upon the re-establishment of perfusion not only in the occluded coronary artery, but also within the coronary microcirculation. However, our fundamental understanding of… read more here.
