Cardiac Surgery
Research
- NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital is one of only three hospitals in the United States to participate in a feasibility study involving a pulmonary valve created from bovine venous jugular tissue that could be implanted percutaneously.
- We are currently serving as co-investigator on several national ventricular assist device trials, as well as participating on a multidisciplinary National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute Specialized Centers of Clinically Oriented Research grant evaluating long-term mechanical ventricular assistance.
- The Congenital Heart Center is studying the effects of cardiac surgery on ventricular function in infants and children, using state-of-the-art measuring techniques based on hemodynamics and echocardiography; mitochondrial respiratory abnormalities in patients with end-stage cardiomyopathy; and the genetics of ventricular hypertrophy.
- Important clinical research projects also include Visions, a prospective trial of BT (Blalock-Taussig) shunt vs. Sano connection in the Norwood procedure; investigation of biventricular pacing for acute heart failure after cardiac surgery; and the use of TEG (thromboelastography) to evaluate hypercoagulability in single ventricle patients pre- and post-Fontan completion.
- In 2008, we participated in a consortium of major children's hospitals charged with defining quality measures and best practices in pediatric cardiac surgery.
- A new NIH-supported study evaluates the in utero effects of congenital heart disease on neurodevelopmental outcomes in childhood.
- Basic science researchers investigate regulation of cardiac morphogenesis (development of cardiac malformations) by Nkx genes in the zebrafish embryo.
