Cleveland Clinic team perform complex foetal surgery to remove rare heart tumour

      A multidisciplinary team of Cleveland Clinic and Cleveland Clinic Children’s doctors and nurses performed a rare and complex lifesaving foetal surgery to remove a tumour attached to the heart of a 26-week-old foetus. Few studies about the rare condition – an intrapericardial teratoma with foetal hydrops (i.e., fluid accumulation) evolving to foetal […]

Patient receives pig heart in world-first transplant

In a major medical breakthrough, a man in the United States has received a heart from a genetically modified pig in a successful transplant. The 57-year-old man, David Bennett, who was not eligible for a routine heart transplant, opted for the experimental surgical procedure, saying: “It was either die or do this transplant. I want […]

Biotronik partners with EU-funded SIMCor to pioneer heart and blood vessel simulation

    What if a computer simulation model of the heart and blood vessel could reduce the need for human or animal data in clinical trials, while speeding up product development? Biotronik and their research partners are looking into exactly that question in the new EU-funded SIMCor project. One of the first likely developments from […]

Scientists develop new heart valve with improved biocompatibility and durability

Biotech scientists have developed a new polymeric heart valve, called the PoliValve, with a life span potentially longer than current artificial valves. The PoliValve will also prevent the need for the millions of patients with diseased heart valves to require life-long blood thinning medication. There are two artificial valves currently available for patients with diseased […]
