Project Details
Description
Current heart valve prostheses for pediatric patients cannot grow or remodel, necessitating multiple surgeries as children grow. This project is developing a tissue engineering solution to create a valve that can fully integrate with the body's vasculature and undergo natural growth processes.
The research builds on previously developed aspects of this technology, aiming to provide a more sustainable and less invasive solution for young patients needing heart valve replacements.
