Cardiovascular Surgery Lab
Machine-translated · View original
A lab aiming to cure severe heart failure and other conditions with iPS cells and new surgical treatments.
AboutAbout the lab
Toward cardiac and vascular surgery that goes beyond conventional operations.
The lab provides surgical treatment for the full range of cardiovascular diseases in adults and children: congenital, aortic, ischemic, valvular, and arrhythmia.
It also actively takes on difficult operations such as thoracoabdominal aortic replacement, as well as the latest treatments such as stent grafts and catheter-based aortic valve treatment.
Through joint research with the university's iPS cell research institute and outside research institutions, the lab also focuses on exploratory medicine, which applies research results in the clinic.
Key terms
- Cardiopulmonary bypass
- A device that temporarily takes over the work of the heart and lungs during surgery.
