Pulmonary valve insufficiency

This study looked at the SAPIEN XT heart valve, which is placed through a thin tube (catheter) to fix a failed valve in the heart's right ventricle. Researchers wanted to confirm it is safe and works well. They enrolled 57 people with a narrowed or leaky heart valve conduit. The …

This study tested a new valve called the Pulsta® Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve in 15 people with congenital heart disease and a faulty pulmonary valve. The valve is implanted through a catheter, avoiding open-heart surgery. Researchers checked if the valve improved blood flow and…

This study tests whether a new device that records chest vibrations from a distance can detect heart and lung diseases. Researchers will compare the vibration patterns of people with known cardiac or pulmonary conditions to those of healthy volunteers. If the technique works, it …

This study tests a small, wearable ECG patch that uses artificial intelligence to monitor heart rhythms in patients recovering from cardiac surgery. Participants wear the patch for up to a week after leaving the intensive care unit. The goal is to see if the device can reliably t…

This study tested whether using a contrast dye during 3D ultrasound can accurately measure the size and function of the right heart chamber in people who had surgery for congenital heart disease. 25 participants received an injection of Lumason (an ultrasound contrast agent) and …
