Aims: To report the largest single-center experience in surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) using the Enable sutureless bioprosthesis concerning the clinical outcome and hemodynamic behavior.
Material And Methods: From April 2010 to May 2017, a total of 432 patients (36.3% of them women) received the Enable sutureless prosthesis for aortic valve stenosis, regurgitation, and/or endocarditis. The endpoints were overall survival after operation for 30 days and adverse events.
Results: No intraoperative complications occurred; intraoperative mortality was 0%. The 30-day mortality rate was 3.5% overall and 0.9% for isolated procedure. No valve-related deaths were observed. There was a need for prosthesis replacement during the early postoperative period in eight patients (1.9%): seven patients (1.6%) had a significant paravalvular leak and one patient (0.2%) developed early postoperative endocarditis. The maximum and mean pressure gradients across the prosthesis were 19.2 ± 7.1 mmHg and 11.1 ± 4.6 mmHg, respectively. A permanent pacemaker was necessary in 6.5% of the patients.
Conclusions: The Enable sutureless prosthesis showed a reliable clinical outcome with low perioperative mortality and morbidity. The hemodynamic performance was satisfactory. Our data confirmed the safety of SAVR using the Enable bioprosthesis. However, a higher rate of pacemaker implantation (6.5%) has to be mentioned.

Our systematic review and meta-analysis elucidates the postoperative complication rates associated with 3 major surgical approaches, including the scleral tunnel, glued, and flanged techniques, for sutureless intrascleral intraocular lens (IOL) fixation. An online search was performed for articles published in PubMed and EMBASE between January 1, 1975, and January 7, 2023. Original studies reporting postoperative complications of sutureless intrascleral IOL fixation were included.

Successful nerve repair using bioadhesive hydrogels demands minimizing tissue-material interfacial mechanical mismatch to reduce immune responses and scar tissue formation. Furthermore, it is crucial to maintain the bioelectrical stimulation-mediated cell-signaling mechanism to overcome communication barriers within injured nerve tissues. Therefore, engineering bioadhesives for neural tissue regeneration necessitates the integration of electroconductive properties with tissue-like biomechanics.

The global military and civilian sectors express widespread concern over the significant hemorrhage associated with various acute wounds. Such bleedings lead to numerous casualties in military confrontations, traffic accidents, and surgical injuries. Consequently, the rapid control of the bleedings, particularly for extensive and pressurized wounds, is crucial in first-aid situations.

Findings in the present case underscore the potential of sutureless aortic valve utilization in patients with prior prosthetic root replacement, thereby obviating the need for high-risk procedures such as replacing a prosthetic root or reimplanting a coronary artery. A 75-year-old male who had undergone a Bio-Bentall operation with a bioprosthetic Trifecta valve for aortic regurgitation and annuloaortic ectasia eight years prior presented with symptoms of heart failure, notably dyspnoea, attributed to prosthetic valve dysfunction. Although a transcatheter aortic valve implant is often recommended, it was deemed unsuitable in this case due to a history of type B aortic dissection.
