Histopathological follow-up after bailout stenting for early postoperative stenosis of a central aorto-pulmonary shunt
No full textWe treated a neonate with pulmonary atresia and a ventricular septal defect complicated by straddling of the atrioventricular valves by constructing a central aorto-pulmonary shunt. The postoperative course was complicated by obstruction of the shunt, which was treated by implantation of a coronary stent. Six months after the stenting, a Glenn anastomosis was created and the stented shunt removed. Analysis showed that the shunt was completely covered by a vascularized neointima. The stent had not produced injury to the shunt, with struts of the stent covered nicely by neoendothelium, with sparse inflammation surrounding the artificial implants

Moral Good, the Beatific Vision, and God’s Kingdom Writings by Germain Grisez and Peter Ryan, S.J.. Edited by Peter J. Weigel
No full textFor close to half a century, the work of Germain Grisez has been highly influential, and his writings continue to receive considerable attention from philosophers and theologians of diverse viewpoints. His co-author for this work is the professor and noted moral theologian Fr. Peter Ryan, S.J., currently the executive director of the Secretariat of Doctrine and Canonical Affairs of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB). These two eminent scholars explore fundamental questions about Christian eschatology, moral theory, the purpose of human life, and the promise of human fulfilment. The authors examine Christian teaching on the final destiny of persons, investigating the meaning of God's kingdom, the hope of the beatific vision, and the centrality of moral goodness and divine grace in one's final end. This work is an ideal source for students, scholars, ministers and lay persons interested in basic questions of Christian theology, the philosophy of religion, ethical theory, and Catholic doctrin

Interventional Atrial Septal Defect Closure Using a Totally Bioresorbable Occluder Matrix Development and Preclinical Evaluation of the BioSTAR Device
No full textObjectivesWe sought to test the hypothesis that interventional atrial septal defect (ASD) closure can be performed safely and effectively using a bioresorbable occluder matrix.BackgroundThe ideal septal occluder scaffold should promote the healthiest and most complete healing response while eventually facilitating the full resorption of the material and leaving “native” tissue behind, thus minimizing the potential for future complications from chronic foreign body and maintaining the possibility for later unobstructed transseptal access to the left atrium.MethodsThe STARFlex occluders (NMT Medical Inc., Boston, Massachusetts) were modified by substituting the conventional polyester fabric for a bioengineered, acellular type-I collagen matrix derived from porcine submucosa with a heparin-coated surface (BioSTAR occluder, NMT Medical Inc.). Comparative transcatheter closure of ASDs was performed in young sheep (n = 36). Gross pathology and histopathology were obtained after follow-up periods ranging from 7 days to 2 years.ResultsThe STARFlex (control) devices were encapsulated time-dependently by ingrown fibrous tissue. Histology showed a mild but chronically persisting foreign body reaction. By contrast, BioSTAR devices exhibited a mild-to-moderate transient cellular immune response. Heparin coating of the BioSTAR surface improved the biocompatibility of the device by reducing surface thrombogencity. A remodeling process of the collagen scaffold, starting after 30 days in vivo, resulted in the full replacement of the matrix by host tissue after 2 years of follow-up.ConclusionsThe BioSTAR device is the first septal occluder with a totally bioresorbable matrix that is fully replaced by host tissue during the healing process. The promising results of this study support testing of the BioSTAR device in clinical trials
