Surgeons in Houston have performed the world’s first successful human implant of BiVACOR’s Total Artificial Heart (TAH) technology. The procedure was completed July 9, 2024, at The Texas Heart Institute at Baylor St. Luke’s Medical Center. It was part of an early feasibility study (EFS) first approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) back in December 2023.

RSNA 2024 Program Chair Kate Hanneman highlights key trends in radiology

The cardiac radiologist and associate professor at the University of Toronto offered insights into key themes from the conference. 

Remote patient monitoring (RPM) programs can lead to significant improvements in patient outcomes after cardiac surgery, including shorter lengths of stay and reduced readmission rates, according to the experience of one North Carolina health system. The team at Atrium Health’s Sanger Heart & Vascular Institute launched the Atrium Health Perfect Care Initiative in 2018 as a way to provide consistent, high-quality care for patients following major heart procedures.

How one health system reduced lengths of stay, slashed readmissions after heart surgery

Remote patient monitoring helps clinicians track heart patients as they recover from major operations. One surgeon described the technology as a "game-changer," highlighting the confidence patients feel when they have "an extra set of eyes on them."
