Stanford scientists have developed waterproofed six-axis robotic Stewart platforms that accurately replicate papillary muscle motion in ex vivo heart simulators.
Researchers at Stanford University have created a novel mitral valve annuloplasty ring that can be adjusted in size off-bypass in response to regurgitation.
Stanford researchers in the Woo Lab have developed a novel device that allows for direct visual assessment of the aortic valve apparatus under physiologic pressure in aortic valve procedures.
Stanford researchers have developed a new transcatheter, minimally invasive neochordal device for repair of mitral regurgitation, which does not require open heart surgery nor cardiopulmonary bypass.
Acute and end stage renal disease affects patients across all ages. Pediatric patients are usually treated with hemodialysis, which requires them to be surgically implanted with a central venous catheter (CVC) for dialysis access.
A team of interdisciplinary researchers at Stanford have developed a small, lightweight optical strain sensor device to sensitively measure forces within the mitral valve apparatus to help determine the appropriate repair technique for patients undergoing valvular surgery for
