Researchers have created a novel 3D printing workflow that allows cardiologists to evaluate how different valve sizes will interact with each patient's unique anatomy, before the medical procedure is ...

The film presents a detailed fluorographic study of the normal heart using venous catheterization, showcasing physiological data such as pressure and flow measurements. It illustrates blood flow ...

3D printing has opened up a whole new world of possibilities when it comes to medical implants, allowing surgeons to equip patients with bespoke devices tailored to perfectly fit their unique anatomy, ...

Researchers developed a novel workflow using 3D printing to help clinicians determine what valve size to use before performing transcatheter aortic valve replacement on patients, according to a study ...

The goal of heart valve surgery is to repair or replace a malfunctioning heart valve to prevent the development of life-threatening conditions. Valves are one-way gates in the heart that keep blood ...

A leaky heart valve means blood isn’t moving correctly through one of the heart’s four valves. This can cause complications like heart rhythm disturbances and heart failure. But treatment is usually ...

Testing by Rutgers Health and other institutions is reshaping how – and how gently – doctors repair failing valves.

Heart valve disease has no effective long-term treatment, and people who suffer from it have to endure repeated, invasive surgeries throughout their lives to survive. Researchers at Georgia Tech and ...

Compared with patients who had a typical tricuspid aortic valve, patients with a more unusual bicuspid aortic valve had a similar rate of death but a higher likelihood of stroke after undergoing a ...

Doctors at Memorial Hermann Southeast Hospital knew Gary Wingfeld was a high-risk candidate for a procedure to replace his damaged heart valve. Wingfeld, 70, was admitted to the hospital on April 20 ...
