Machine-translated · View original
The lab works on surgical treatment of heart and blood vessel diseases and on developing diagnostic and treatment methods for them.
AboutAbout the lab
Applying the latest science and technology to build safe and reliable medical care
The Cardiovascular Surgery field is a clinical department that treats aortic disease, valvular disease, ischemic heart disease, congenital heart disease, and more.
For patients with severe heart failure, it also performs ventricular assist device implantation and heart transplantation, and its stated goal is 'the establishment of the safest and most reliable medical care, and of medical care that applies the latest science and technology.'
At the Endowed Department of Aortic Disease Treatment Development, clinical research is carried out to develop advanced diagnostic and treatment methods for cardiovascular diseases, including aortic disease.
On the lab's website, it is introduced under the name 'Tohoku University Cardiovascular Surgery.'
Key terms
- Ventricular assist device
- A machine attached to the body to help a weakened heart pump. It is used to treat severe heart failure
- Endowed department
- A department established at a university with funds donated from outside. It advances research and education in a specific field
- Aortic aneurysm
- A disease in which the wall of the large blood vessel leaving the heart becomes weak and bulges like a lump
- Finite element model
- A model for examining, by calculation, how force is applied to an object by dividing the object into small elements
ResearchResearch themes
The Endowed Department of Aortic Disease Treatment Development was established to develop advanced diagnostic and treatment methods for cardiovascular diseases, including aortic disease. In addition to carrying out clinical research with the support of clinical trial coordinators, it is developing a rupture prediction system for thoracic aortic aneurysms.
*Illustrative imageClinical research on aortic disease
With the support of clinical trial coordinators, the lab carries out clinical research such as evaluating the acute-phase inflammatory response and late-phase dilatation after artificial graft replacement, and the clinical application of bioabsorbable felt as reinforcement material for aortic anastomoses.
*Illustrative imageRupture prediction for thoracic aortic aneurysms
The lab is developing a system that builds a finite element model from CT images of a thoracic aortic aneurysm, obtains the distribution of equivalent stress, and predicts rupture. Using this system, it analyzes aortic aneurysms in various ways.
