Tissue engineering of the right heart outflow tract by a biofunctionalized bioresorbable polymeric valved tube (TEH-TUBE)
Start date: Jan 1, 2014, End date: Dec 31, 2017,
Approximately 42% of infants’ mortality in the world is related to congenital heart defects (prevalence: 8-12/1000 births). Over 1/3 require the reconstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) by surgical procedures which currently use inert materials without any growth potential. Consequently, multiple reoperations are often required, with their attendant high risk of mortality and m ...

The effect of intracoronary reinfusion of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BM-MNC) on all-cause mortality in acute myocardial infarction (BAMI)
Start date: Nov 1, 2011, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
Although the long term prognosis of patients suffering acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has improved since the introduction of reperfusion therapies and primary angioplasty, the 1 year mortality of patients with AMI and resultant left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) is still as high as 13%. A major reason for the high morbidity and mortality is that the heart has an inadequate regenerativ ...

Advanced Materials for Cardiac Regeneration (AMCARE) (AMCARE)
Start date: Nov 1, 2013, End date: Oct 31, 2017,
The Advanced Materials for Cardiac Regeneration (AMCARE) consortium aims to establish a translational research program to develop truly restorative therapies for acute myocardial infarction repair (MI) by optimising cardiac progenitor cell (CPC) therapy using smart biomaterials and advanced drug delivery, and coupling these therapeutics with minimally-invasive surgical devices. Two distinct biomat ...
