Hospital accused of implanting experimental heart valve in young patient without proper consent

Members of Congress are now asking the FDA to investigate a parent's claim that her 14-year-old son was treated with an experimental heart valve without proper consent. The valve eventually failed and had to be replaced. The hospital has said its heart team did nothing wrong. 

Virtual reality (VR) can help cardiologists plan for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) procedures and predict the presence and severity of post-TAVR paravalvular leak (PVL), according to new research published in the Journal of Invasive Cardiology.[1]

VR before TAVR predicts paravalvular leak in high-risk patients

Performing virtual reality simulations before TAVR may help cardiologists anticipate when PVL could be an issue in patients with severe BAV AS.

The Protego Radiation Protection System by Image Diagnostics can potentially reduce radiation exposure in the cath lab.

Cardiologist urges cath labs to adopt radiation shields: ‘It is time to protect ourselves’

The shields can significantly reduce radiation exposure, according to cardiologist David G. Rizik, MD. He said they also allow cardiologists, nurses and other cath lab employees to provide care without wearing lead aprons. 

HeartFlow FFR-CT is a non-invasive imaging method to determine the fractional flow reserve for the entire coronary tree.

AI-based CAD assessments as accurate as FFR, new 10-year study confirms

The FDA-approved technology developed by HeartFlow can predict a patient's long-term risk of target vessel failure as well as more invasive treatments performed inside a cath lab.
