Objective: This study aimed to develop and evaluate a 3-degree-of-freedom (DoF) robotic system for the safe delivery of cardiac sheaths through challenging anatomical structures, including the fossa ...

ABSTRACT: Myxomas are primary cardiac tumors of the most common pathology, with 75% of myxomas originating in the left atrium either at the mitral annulus or the fossa ovalis border of the interatrial ...

Abstract: Minimally invasive cardiac surgery (MI CS) has revolutionized cardiovascular interventions. A crucial step during many MI CS targeting the left side of the heart is the transeptal puncture ...

Cardiac implant developer V-Wave has a deal to be acquired by Johnson & Johnson for $600 million upfront, plus up to $1.1 billion in additional payments based on regulatory and commercial milestones.

Atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) was first reported in an autopsy in 1934 [1] and diagnosed in patients in 1981 [2]. ASA was initially described as an important anatomical characteristic associated with ...

For well-treated patients refractory to standard medications, the Ventura interatrial shunt was no better than sham in terms of primary effectiveness over nearly 2 years, defined by a hierarchical ...

Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac arrhythmia, affecting 32 million individuals worldwide, particularly the elderly. It is the main cause of ischemic strokes. Oral anticoagulation ...

The Interatrial shunt is intended for insignificantly obtrusive delivery to the heart using trans catheter systems. The dime-sized gadget is embedded into the septal wall between the atrial chambers, ...
