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.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery is performed on nearly half a million patients with multivessel or diffuse coronary artery disease each year in the United States.
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
