Valvular heart disease (VHD) has been a significant health problem, particularly in developed countries, in relation to the aging population. Recent developments in the management of VHD require a more accurate assessment of disease severity to determine the need for transcatheter interventions or open heart surgery.

Focusing on mitral and tricuspid valve diseases , Capstans treatment combines transcatheter implantation of a folded valve replacement with its X-ray and ultrasound-guided robot to align the low-profile implant with the beating heart valve. The post Capstans Robotic MR/TR Frontier Funding appeared first on Cardiac Wire.

The EVOQUE tricuspid valve replacement system is a device designed to treat patients with severe leaking of the tricuspid valve, known as tricuspid regurgitation, without open heart surgery. The EVOQUE valve is implanted using a minimally invasive delivery system (a catheter) through the femoral vein reaching to the heart.

The heart has four valves (aortic, mitral, pulmonic, and tricuspid) that open and close to move blood through the heart and to the rest of the body. If a valve cannot open or close fully it can interfere with blood flow and cause a host of health issues, including heart attack and stroke. Christine M.

Barr’s death at 39 from sudden cardiac arrest was caused by mitral valve prolapse—a heart valve defect that can affect the heart’s ability to pump blood. The PRIMARY trial is directed by Joanna Chikwe, MD, chair of the Department of Cardiac Surgery at Cedars-Sinai. It can, in some cases, lead to death.
