DOI: 10.1071/mf16046
Abstract: The preserved stomach contents from the manta ray, collected in 1935, that provided the basis for the 2009 taxonomic resurrection of the species Manta alfredi, were examined. The majority of the material comprised calanoid copepods… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ehjci/ehaa946.2588
Abstract: Vascular complications increase morbidity and mortality in transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). A collagen plug-based closure device - MANTA® was recently introduced as an alternative to the suture-mediated ProGlide® vascular closure device (VCD). Data regarding… read more here.
