| Abstract | Transcatheter heart valve implantation is an emerging technology and an alternative to surgical valve replacement. Most existing systems consist of valves sewn into balloon-expandable stents with a delivery catheter functioning with the specific valve only. The aim of this study was to develop a universally applicable delivery system (DS) for plane stents, valves sewn into both balloon-expandable and self-expandable stents and feasible for use with different access routes. A DS was designed and manufactured in five different diameters. The requirements were derived from the implants, the implantation technique and the cardiovascular geometry of the experimental sheep. The combination of a self-expandable Nitinol stent and a jugular access point represented the major challenge as both flexibility and rigidity of the DS were required. To fulfill these contradicting mechanical properties the sheaths were comprised of a soft outer polymer tube with a stainless steel coiled spring inside. Tissue-engineered and pericardial pulmonary valves were implanted. Also polymeric and balloon-expandable stents were delivered to various positions in the vascular system. The initial success rate was 70.5%. After refinement of the DS, a success rate of 83.3% was achieved with the remaining failed implantations resulting from inadequate sizes of the prostheses. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
