the heart to the pulmonary valve. A tiny balloon at the end of the catheter is quickly inflated to push apart the leaflets, or "doors," of the valve. The balloon is then deflated and the catheter is withdrawn. Procedures like this can be used to repair any narrowed valve in the heart...
If your heart muscle is damaged, a stem cell can morph into healthy new heart cells. If your knee cartilage is damaged, stem cells can transform into fresh new cartilage. And it’s the same with every cell, in every corner of your body. Stem cells are truly universal repair...
64-MDCT imaging of the coronary arteries and systemic arterial vascular tree in a single examination: optimisation of the scan protocol and contrast-agent ... The aim of this study was to validate a 64-row multidetector computed tomography (64-MDCT) acquisition protocol with biphasic administration...
The European Society of Cardiology recently updated guidelines on the management of chronic coronary syndromes upgrading the use of intracoronary imaging for complex percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) to a class 1A recommendation. It is essential that the interventional community appreciate the ...
Materials and methods To provide such information during the procedure, a novel surgical assistance system for open heart bypass graft surgery was designed which merges preoperative maps of the coronary arteries with intraoperative data. The patient-specific vessel map was generated from multi-slice comp...
Intravascularultrasound (IVUS) sequences recorded in vivo are subject to a wide array of motion artifacts as the majority of these studies are performed within the coronary arteries of a beating heart. To eliminate these artifacts, an electrocardiogram (ECG) signal is typically used to gate (colle...
