Research Publications
Our primary focus at The Baird Institute is to encourage and fund research to improve the surgical outcomes and quality of life for patients facing heart or lung surgery. The funds we raise go directly to research that improves the surgical procedures associated with heart and lung surgery. Improvements can include less intrusive procedures as well as techniques that improve survival rates.
Below you will find a list of publications that our surgeons and research fellows have been involved in writing.
Induced pluripotent stem cell-derived endothelial cells promote angiogenesis and accelerate wound closure in a murine excisional wound healing model
Clayton ZE, Tan RP, Miravet MM, Lennartsson K, Cooke JP, Bursill CA, Wise SG, Patel S Biosci. Rep. 2018 08;38(4) PMID: 29976773 Abstract Chronic wounds are a major complication in patients with cardiovascular diseases. Cell therapies have shown potential to stimulate wound healing, but clinical trials using adult stem cells have been tempered by limited numbers of…
Sternal-Sparing Aortic Valve Replacement in a Patient with Osteogenesis Imperfecta: A Case Report
Joshi P, Thakur S, Finn C, Sadlier P J. Heart Valve Dis. 2017 11;26(6):744-746 PMID: 30207130 Abstract The case described here is the first reported case of successful isolated aortic valve replacement (AVR) via a right anterior thoracotomy (RAT) in a patient with osteogenesis imperfecta (OI). The most common reported complication in patients with OI…
Limiting paravalvular regurgitation after TAVR: Is better understanding of imaging the solution?
Edelman JJ, Rogers T, Khan JM, Thourani VH J. Thorac. Cardiovasc. Surg. 2018 Aug; PMID: 30241767 Abstract
Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement in the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Era: Implications for the Heart Team
Thourani VH, Edelman JJ, Satler LF, Weintraub WS JACC Cardiovasc Interv 2018 Nov;11(21):2157-2159 PMID: 30343021 Abstract
Compare apples with apples to call a spade a spade: Improving transcatheter aortic valve replacement outcomes nationally

Rapid Endothelialization of Off-the-Shelf Small Diameter Silk Vascular Grafts
Filipe EC, Santos M, Hung J, Lee BSL, Yang N, Chan AHP, Ng MKC, Rnjak-Kovacina J, Wise SG JACC Basic Transl Sci 2018 Feb;3(1):38-53 PMID: 30062193 Abstract Synthetic vascular grafts for small diameter revascularization are lacking. Clinically available conduits expanded polytetrafluorethylene and Dacron fail acutely due to thrombosis and in the longer term from neointimal…
Apolipoprotein A-I Reduces In-Stent Restenosis and Platelet Activation and Alters Neointimal Cellular Phenotype
Vanags LZ, Tan JTM, Galougahi KK, Schaefer A, Wise SG, Murphy A, Ali ZA, Bursill CA JACC Basic Transl Sci 2018 Apr;3(2):200-209 PMID: 30062205 Abstract Even the most advanced drug-eluting stents evoke unresolved issues, including chronic inflammation, late thrombosis, and neoatherosclerosis. This highlights the need for novel strategies that improve stent biocompatibility. Our studies show…
Long-Term Outcomes Following Off-Pump Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting: Fixed-Effects Versus Random-Effects Models
Zhao DF, Edelman JJ, Seco M, Bannon PG, Vallely MP J. Am. Coll. Cardiol. 2018 Jul;72(3):345-347 PMID: 30012329 Abstract
