DOI: 10.1002/ccd.30544
Abstract: Ever since the introduction and surgical success of Starr–Edwards prostheses for valve replacement in the 1960s, prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) has plagued us. In the early 1970s, reports proliferated describing PVE and its complications, and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00268-021-06145-w
Abstract: The objective of this study was to describe the detailed technique and clinical outcomes of portal vein embolization via the round ligament (RL-PVE) prior to major hepatectomy. Between January 2010 and March 2020, a total… read more here.

DOI: 10.1080/00015458.2022.2056680
Abstract: INTRODUCTION Cholangiocellular carcinoma (CCA) has a poor prognosis and the goldstandard even in locally advanced cases remains radical surgical resection. This approach however is limited by the future liver remnant volume (FLRV) after extensive parenchymal… read more here.

DOI: 10.1088/1361-6420/ab356d
Abstract: In quantitative Magnetic Resonance Imaging, traditional methods suffer from the so-called Partial Volume Effect (PVE) due to spatial resolution limitations. As a consequence of PVE, the parameters of the voxels containing more than one tissue… read more here.

Resectability of bilobar liver tumours after simultaneous portal and hepatic vein embolization versus portal vein embolization alone: meta-analysis
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "BJS Open"
DOI: 10.1093/bjsopen/zrac141
Abstract: Abstract Background Many patients with bi-lobar liver tumours are not eligible for liver resection due to an insufficient future liver remnant (FLR). To reduce the risk of posthepatectomy liver failure and the primary cause of… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/cvr/cvac055
Abstract: Prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) remains a serious condition with a high mortality rate. Precise identification of the PVE-associated pathogen/s and their virulence is essential for successful therapy, and patient survival. The commonly described PVE-associated pathogens… read more here.

The valve uptake index: improving assessment of prosthetic valve endocarditis and updating [18F]FDG PET/CT(A) imaging criteria
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "European Heart Journal Cardiovascular Imaging"
DOI: 10.1093/ehjci/jeab279
Abstract: Abstract Aims Diagnosis of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) by positron emission computed tomography angiography (PET/CTA) is based on visual and quantitative morpho-metabolic features. However, the fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake pattern can be sometimes visually unclear and… read more here.

DOI: 10.1093/ofid/ofac583
Abstract: Abstract Background Based primarily on in vitro and animal models, with little data directly addressing patient outcomes, current guidelines recommend treating staphylococcal prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) with antibiotic combinations including gentamicin and rifampin. Here, we… read more here.
