Members of the team spoke with the News about their experiences performing the BATMAN procedure and its future implications.

The results of mitral valve repair for structural disease are durable and are generally accepted to be superior to mitral valve replacement. Following the early pioneering work of Carpentier ...

The left heart pump consists of the left atrium, mitral valve, left ventricle, aortic valve, and aorta. Its job is to pump oxygen-rich blood out to the body’s tissues. Blood returning to the heart ...

robotic mitral valve repair for endocarditis, including anterior mitral leaflet perforation; robotic adult congenital atrial septal reconstruction using a bovine patch for a patient with a common ...

The device is positioned directly above the regurgitant jet and advanced across the mitral valve into the LV, with the two arms of the Clip perpendicular to the valve leaflets.

Significant tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with increased morbidity and mortality. The development of transcatheter valve repair therapies has opened a wide range of opportunities for ...

In patients with a borderline annulus size, the valve was selected based on aortic root size, extent of leaflet calcification and individual life expectancy. The PVL was assessed using transthoracic ...

Based on the results from the MATTERHORN (A Multicenter, Randomized, Controlled Study to Assess Mitral Valve Reconstruction for Advanced Insufficiency of Functional or Ischemic Origin), transcatheter ...

However, there are key differences in the studies that make a 1:1 comparison difficult. For one, the patients in the RESHAPE-HF2 trial had less severe mitral valve regurgitation than did those in the ...

"As we start 2025, we are going to be adjusting our update schedule to help improve our development process," one Valve dev who goes by Yoshi says in the game's official Discord.

While early word from the manufacturer appeared to suggest that a Z2-powered Steam Deck was on the way, a Valve dev has logged on to tell the world that no such product is in development.
