Structural Heart Procedures

Valve Replacement & Repair: Evaluation and testing of both surgical and transcatheter approaches—including TAVR, TMVR, TTVR, and TPVR—to assess valve function and durability.

Transcatheter Heart Valve Implantation: Expertise in deploying new‑generation valve devices and conducting transcatheter mitral valve interventions.

Septal Defect Closures & Balloon Valvuloplasty: Proficient in transcatheter closure of atrial and ventricular septal defects and performing balloon valvuloplasty to relieve valve stenosis.

Left Atrial Appendage (LAA) Closures: Assessment and procedural testing of LAA occlusion devices designed to mitigate stroke risk.

Percutaneous Ventricular Assist & Hemodynamic Support: Techniques including PVAD implantation and aortic balloon pump placement to provide hemodynamic support in preclinical models.

Stent Placements & Electrophysiology: Advanced stenting techniques for coronary and peripheral vessels, along with electrophysiological mapping for pacing, ablation, and ICD lead implantation.

Cardiac Model Development: Creation of robust preclinical models that replicate conditions such as heart failure and pulmonary hypertension for device validation and therapeutic evaluation.

Advanced Imaging Integration & Data Analysis: Utilization of echocardiography, MRI, and related modalities to quantitatively assess cardiac structures and performance, informing both device evaluation and study outcomes.
