Innovations at a Glance
-
Served as co-principal investigators for a clinical trial determining MitraClip® percutaneous therapy significantly reduced hospitalizations and mortality for heart failure patients with mitral regurgitation
-
Applying 3D echocardiography, cardiac CT, and MRI for determining surgical and transcatheter intervention strategies to treat tricuspid regurgitation
-
Developed a novel minimally invasive surgical approach combining ECMO and the CentriMag ventricular assist device as a short-term circulatory support for cardiogenic shock
-
Performing the newly introduced Ozaki aortic valve repair in which the diseased aortic valve leaflets are removed to create a new aortic valve
-
Discovered a compound that dramatically reduces morbidity and mortality in patients with transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy
