Projects
Patent Foramen Ovale
The closure device is advanced through the catheter and deployed across the PFO. The aim is to reduce the risk of emboli crossing the PFO and causing serious vascular events such as stroke.
Septic Shock
Septic shock is an inflammatory state resulting from the systemic response to bacterial infection... Overall mortality in patients with septic shock averages 40%.
Cardiac Arrest
The goal of therapeutic hypothermia is to reduce brain injury in survivors of cardiac arrest so there is less death and an increased chance of good neurological survival.
Cerebral Thrombolysis
Ultrasound alters the structure of the thrombus to increase accessibility and dispersion of the drug with a consequent increased dissolution rate and scope.
Recalcitrant Wounds
Wounds refractory to treatment..... require stimuli to initiate the healing cascade. The study product composed of cell culture media and electrostatically charged particles were identified to stimulate the granulation process in chronic wounds...
Cryoablation Fibroadenoma
The traditional management options available to women diagnosed with a fibroadenoma include surgical excision. In situ cryoablation has been developed and is less invasive than surgical excision.
Autologous Cultured Chondrocytes
The product is a cell therapy product used to repair articular cartilage injuries in adults not responded to a prior arthroscopic or surgical repair. The process involves the removal of healthy chondrocytes from the lesioned joint, cell-culture on a scafold and reintroduction over the lesion.
Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
A therapeutic fistula in the ilio-femoral region allows blood rich in oxygen to flow from the iliac artery to the iliac vein, thereby increasing the oxygen content of blood returning to the lungs.
Cryoablation Atrial Fibrillation
The safety and performance of a cryoablation system was evaluated in a long-term, prospective, randomized, multi-center study in patients with medically resistant, symptomatic paroxysmal atrial fibrillation.
Neurostimulation
Particularly challenging is the management of patients with detrusor instability associated with urge incontinence or frequency-urgency syndrome ...... Equally difficult.... non-obstructive urinary retention.... with sacral neuromodulation, these patients.... regain volitional voiding function.
