Origami-Inspired And Remotely Adjustable Pediatric Heart Implant
Pediatric pulmonary artery band (PAB) using origami-inspired fabrication that is remotely adjustable after implantation. Problem: Congenital heart defects affect 1% of births in the United States and can lead to irregular blood flow through the main pulmonary artery (MPA). A pulmonary artery band (PAB) is an implant that can be placed on the MPA to...
