3-d-models-improve-patient-outcomes-in-heart-valve-replacements
2017 04 Jul
Researchers at Georgia Institute of Technology and the Piedmont Heart Institute have used standard medical imaging and 3-D printing technologies to create patient-specific heart valve models. These models can mimic the physiological qualities of the real valves and can help improve the success rate of TAVR by picking the right prosthetic and avoiding...Read more
Novel-prosthetic-heart-valve
2015 10 Oct
Researchers from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have developed a novel prosthetic heart valve which can be implanted through a small incision for the treatment of mitral regurgitation. The valve known as VeloX is especially useful in patients who are unsuitable candidates for existing clinical interventions or who are of high surgical risk. ...Read more

A new cardiovascular imaging technology that uses a new true volume, three-dimensional (3D) transoesophageal echo (TEE) probe can visualise the heart and dynamic blood flow during interventional valve procedures. Siemens Healthcare (Erlangen, Germany) presented the Acuson SC2000 Prime Edition ultrasound system at the 2014 European Society of...Read more

2014 29 Jan
Infective endocarditis is a potentially fatal bacterial disease of the heart which frequently affects the heart's tricuspid valve, often resulting in permanent tissue damage. A pioneering new reconstructive technique, in which the valve is repaired with a bioscaffold on which new tissue can grow, has proven promising and has given a new lease...Read more

2014 22 Jan
Edwards Lifesciences Corporation, the global leader in the science of heart valves and hemodynamic monitoring, announced that a federal jury found Edwards' United States Cribier transcatheter heart valve patent valid, and that Medtronic CoreValve LLC willfully infringes it. Edwards will move to enforce this verdict and intends to seek a permanent...Read more
