Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Xin-Long Ruan"
- Xin-Long Ruan's research primarily focuses on the evaluation and comparison of different types of prosthetic valves for cardiac procedures, specifically addressing the complexities involved in tricuspid valve replacement.
- In the 2016 meta-analysis titled "Should a Mechanical or Biological Prosthesis Be Used for a Tricuspid Valve Replacement?", Ruan examined the efficacy and outcomes associated with mechanical versus bioprosthetic valves over a span of 20 years of relevant studies.
- The findings indicate a critical need for further research to determine the optimal prosthetic choice, highlighting the ongoing debates in cardiac surgery regarding valve replacement technologies.
