The Texas Heart Institute Collaborates on Multi-institutional DOD Grant to Develop Novel Left Ventricular Assist Device

DAIC

Cardiac transplantation, the only option for many patients, is severely restricted by the limited availability of donor hearts. A novel flexible stented blood inlet will conform to the shape of the patient’s heart to prevent flow stasis and clotting. The research is funded by a four-year, $7.8

Asia’s first “Live” liver donor gets successful high risk beating heart bypass surgery

Dr. Prateek Bhatnagar

Mr Syed was Asia’s first “Live” liver donor for a liver transplant operation. He next underwent stenting in his coronary arteries in 2000, 2010 and 2012 at Pune. A total of 6 stents were placed. Coronary angiography showed multiple blocks in the stents, needing an urgent bypass surgery.

Highlights of ACC 2024

Cardiology Update

The primary endpoint was a composite of all-cause mortality, left ventricular assist device (LVAD)/heart transplantation, HF hospitalizations, worsening HF, and KCCQ score changes. The primary non-inferiority endpoint was MACCE (a composite of cardiac death, MI, ischaemic stroke, stent thrombosis, or target vessel revascularisation).
