Breakthrough device aims to prevent deadly complications during heart valve surgery
NCT ID NCT05666713
Summary
This study tested a new medical tool called TELLTALE, designed to make heart valve replacement surgery safer. The device helps doctors safely cut a small flap of tissue inside the heart during the procedure to prevent a rare but deadly blockage of blood flow. Researchers enrolled 90 patients at high risk for this complication to see if the new, purpose-built device worked better and was safer than older, improvised tools.
