Bovine jugular vein (BJV) valves are widely used in congenital heart surgery but are limited in durability due to structural valve degeneration (SVD). Researchers from Columbia University Irving Medical Center have examined mechanisms of BJV prosthesis failure and tested BJV modification with poly-2-methyl-2-oxazoline (POZ), a polymer shown to inhibit protein

Research findings presented at the National Medical Center shed light on the complexities of atrial flutter ablation in patients with univentricular hearts. A 38-year-old Mexican man with an unrepaired morphologically right single ventricle and a common atrium was successfully treated with catheter ablation guided by CARTO-Merge. The procedure, which involved
