Study details safe, effective, minimally invasive mitral valve repair
Surgical treatment for mitral valve disease includes either repairing the patient's diseased valve or replacing it with a metal, mechanical valve or an animal tissue valve. view more (2009-09-29)
Smart memory foam made smarter
Researchers from Northwestern University and Boise State University have figured out how to produce a less expensive shape-shifting "memory" foam, which could lead to more widespread applications of the material, such as in surgical positioning tools and valve mechanisms. view more (2009-09-24)
Few complications 1 year after aortic valve implantation
Research presented at the 21st annual Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics (TCT) scientific symposium, sponsored by the Cardiovascular Research Foundation (CRF), demonstrated an "exceptionally low" rate of complications one year after implantation of transcatheter aortic valve prostheses. view more (2009-09-22)
Half of eligible patients not getting mitral valve surgery, U-M study shows
Overblown fears about surgical risk and lack of awareness about the risk of not operating are among the reasons only half of eligible patients were referred for mitral valve repair, according to a study by doctors at the University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center. view more (2009-09-11)
Infective endocarditis: An old but changing disease
Infective endocarditis (IE) is a severe form of valve disease characterized by infection located in the valves of the heart. view more (2009-08-31)
Cardiac arrest resuscitation: Passive oxygen flow better than assisted ventilation
Arizona researchers have added another piece to the mounting body of evidence that suggests during resuscitation efforts to treat patients in cardiac arrest, "passive ventilation" significantly increases survival rates, compared to the widely practiced "assisted ventilation." view more (2009-08-12)
July 23, 2009 Circulating osteogenic precursor (COP) cells form bone in vivo. Bone from Blood: Circulating Cells Form Bone Outside the Normal Skeleton, Penn Study Finds
The accepted dogma has been that bone-forming cells, derived from the body's connective tissue, are the only cells able to form the skeleton. view more (2009-07-24)

Advanced composite materials are playing a vital role in improved design and reduced operating costs for renewable energy technologies. view more (2009-06-30)
4 out of 106 heart replacement valves from pig hearts failed
Pig heart valves used to replace defective aortic valves in human patients failed much earlier and more often than expected, says a report from cardiac surgeons at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis. view more (2009-06-30)
New way to fix leaking mitral heart valves safe in initial testing
A new nonsurgical technique to repair leaking mitral valves in heart failure patients was safe in a study reported in Circulation: Cardiovascular Interventions. view more (2009-06-24)
First-degree relatives of patients with bicuspid aortic valve should be screened
Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV), a condition in which patients' aortic valves have just two leaflets instead of the normal three, is the most common cardiac anomaly, affecting up to two percent of the general population. view more (2009-06-11)
Gene hunters target child kidney failure
Researchers are zeroing in on the genetic abnormalities predisposing to vesicoureteric reflux (VUR), one of the most common causes of urinary tract infections and kidney failure in children, reports a study in an upcoming issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology (JASN). view more (2009-05-15)
Study examines novel PFO closure system
A new device designed to close a common heart defect known as a patent foramen ovale (PFO) is safe and effective at 90-days follow up, according to a new study released today at the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions (SCAI) 32nd Annual Scientific Sessions in Las Vegas. view more (2009-05-11)
Uterus sparing surgery is a safe and effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse
Researchers presented data at the 104th Annual Scientific Meeting of the American Urological Association (AUA) showing that uterus sparing surgery is an effective and safe treatment for women who want to preserve the integrity of vaginal function after pelvic organ prolapse. view more (2009-04-27)
Building the lymphatic drainage system
Our bodies' tissues need continuous irrigation and drainage. Blood vessels feeding the tissues bring in the fluids, and drainage occurs via the lymphatic system. While much is known about how blood vessels are built, the same was not true for lymph vessels. view more (2009-04-27)
Valve implantation on the beating heart
Transcatheter valve implantation is a newly developed technique for the curative treatment of high-grade aortic stenosis. It is likely to be of benefit especially to elderly, multimorbid patients for whom the risk of open heart surgery would be too great. view more (2009-04-21)
Mount Sinai first in US to implant FDA-cleared ring for mitral valve repair
David H. Adams, MD, Marie-Josée and Henry R. Kravis Professor and Chairman of the Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery at The Mount Sinai Medical Center, performed the first two implantations of the Carpentier-Edwards Physio II ring in the United States yesterday. view more (2009-02-25)
Diseased Heart Valve Replaced Through Small Chest Incision
When 91-year-old Irvin Lafferty was diagnosed with severe blockage of his heart valve-hardening that is formally known as aortic valve stenosis-open-heart surgery was out of the question. view more (2009-02-11)
