When a patient needs a new heart valve, the current mechanical and tissue replacements each have strengths and weaknesses. Now, a team of UBC Okanagan researchers believe they have found a way to ...

Researchers at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences have developed an artificial model of the mitral heart valve ...

Researchers hope to better understand diseases in the mitral heart valve with an artificial model that mimics the valve’s complex mechanisms.

Now, a team of UBC Okanagan researchers believe they have found a way to harness the strengths of both technologies in a way that could be life-changing - and life-saving - for many. Dr. Hadi ...

Patients aged between 50 to 70 years with a mechanical heart valve replacement had better long-term survival compared to those with a biological valve, new research led by the University of Bristol ...

A study led by the University of Bristol, Bristol, England, has found that mechanical heart valves provide better long-term survival than biological heart valves in patients aged 50-70 years. The ...

UBCO’s Dr. Hadi Mohammadi holds his latest innovation—a manufactured heart valve that has just been put through its paces—comparing its viability to other valves currenty available to patients. Sort ...

Mechanical heart valves were tested for their ability to crack under high-speed imaging, fluoroscopy, and standardized balloon testing. In vitro testing showed successful fracturing of device leaflets ...
