Objectives
Currently, no consensus exists regarding the most durable prosthesis for pulmonary valve replacement. Bacterial cellulose is a resistant, nonbiodegradable, nonpyrogenic bioimplant with low hemolysis and clotting properties. We hypothesized that bacterial cellulose heart valve prostheses could be an attractive alternative for pulmonary valve replacement.

Tracheostomy is a procedure that creates a direct opening to the airway through an incision in the anterior wall of the trachea. These days it is usually performed percutaneously as it is generally regarded as a safe procedure. We present the case of an unusual complication of aortic arch injury after percutaneous tracheostomy (PT) performed at an outside hospital. Major vascular injury was managed...
There is increasing evidence that genetic variability influences patients' early morbidity after cardiac surgery performed using cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). The use of mortality as an outcome measure in cardiac surgical genetic association studies is rare. We publish the 30-day and 5-year survival analyses with focus on pre-, intra-, postoperative variables, biochemical parameters, and genetic variants...
