It is difficult to perform a retrograde left ventricular catheterization in patients having an aortic valve replacement. An improvement of the conventional transseptal catheterization (Brockenbrough method) led to a better success rate of catheterization. The fulcrum of the improved catheter was located 7 cm from the tip. Its curvature was approximately 270 degrees. Its tip was bent inward to form a pig-tail shape to prevent myocardial injury. This catheterization was performed 33 times in 32 patients. A 97% success rate was achieved. An exercise loading test was performed with a bicycle ergometer while this catheter was maintained in the left ventricle of a patient placed in a supine position. The catheter was well retained in the left ventricle and produced a minimal number of arrhythmias during exercise. The modification of this catheter has proved to be a better method of left ventricular catheterization in patients with an aortic valve replacement.

Editorial Note: With this issue we introduce a new feature of the Journal of Biomedical Materials Research entitled, "Key References in Biomaterials." Our purpose is to provide carefully selected references on timely and important subjects to permit the reader to explore the topic in depth. The editors recognize the increasingly difficult task of information exchange in science and technology, in general, and in biomaterials, with its interdisciplinary biologicall physical interfaces, in particular. I have askedDr. Frederick 7. Schoen to coordinate this section. He will invite various individuals to compile references on subjects in which they have special expertise. Often, the nature of the subject matter will require that these lists be assembled by several collaborating individuals, each of a different discipline. Space limitations necessitate selectivity, so that no inference should be drawn if an article is not cited. The objective is a unique, organized, and readily usable scheme for each topic which represents the historical and conceptual development of a subject as well as the state-of-the-art. W e hope that you will find these key references useful, and we welcome suggestions. 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. I. DISEASES OF THE NATURAL HEART VALVES: PATHOPHYSIOLOGICAL AND CLINICAL ASPECTSBraunwald, E.
