    Bacterial nanocellulose as a new patch material for closure of ventricular septal defects in a pig model
    (Oxford University Press, 2014) Nora Lang; Elena Merkel; Franziska Fuchs; Dieter Schumann; Dieter Klemm; Friederike Krämer; Susanne Mayer‐Wagner; Christian Schroeder; Franz Freudenthal; Heinrich Netz
    BNC patches can close VSDs with good mid-term results and its biocompatibility can be considered as satisfactory. Its elasticity increases in the presence of blood, which might be advantageous. Therefore, it has potential to be used as an alternative patch material in congenital heart disease.

    Preclinical evaluation of a new self‐expanding device for closure of muscular ventricular septal defects in a pig model
    (Wiley, 2009) Nora Lang; Christoph Schmitz; Anja Lehner; Franziska Fuchs; Alexandra Heath; Franz Freudenthal; Bernd J. Wintersperger; Armin Huber; Eckart Thein; Heinrich Netz
    Our preclinical study shows successful closure of iatrogenic created mVSDs without residual shunting. The device is characterized by a more controlled deployment, an independent deployment of disk and waist, and a good alignment of the left ventricular disk to the muscular septum.
