Cardiovascular Assist Device Improving Circulation In Patients With Congenital Heart Disease Undergoing The Fontan Procedure
Valveless pump device implanted during the Fontan surgical procedure in patients with single-ventricle congenital heart disease. Problem: The Fontan procedure is a lifesaving surgery for patients with single-ventricle congenital heart disease, where only one chamber of the heart is functional. The operation reroutes blood flow from the heart to the...

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...
