Full Description
This book matches the most appropriate usage of implants commercially available with the indications for the operations based upon solid diagnostics. Topics covered include an in-depth analysis of the SETA-LATECBA stent-graft and the rapid maturation of stent-graft technology. The challenge of the RVOT reconstruction is also analyzed along with the investigation of vascular grafts at reoperation. Textile fabrics and material selection of heart valves is also covered, with a section devoted to how to prioritize material selection.
This is an ideal book for students and surgeons studying medicine and biomedical engineering, industry professionals working in R&D, as well as regulatory agencies, such as the FDA, SFDA, and Bureau of Medical Devices.
