Aortic Valve Replacement using Individualised Regenerative Allografts: Bridging the Therapeutic Gap (ARISE)

Start date: Jan 1, 2015, End date: Mar 31, 2019,

65,000 aortic valve replacements (AVR) are performed in Europe each year to treat acquired and congenital aortic valve diseases. In affected patients, mortality without AVR is extremely high and 50 % die within 2 years. Current AVR options are, however, limited for young patients - especially female patients - and those unwilling to accept life-long medical anticoagulation with its inherent risks. ...

Towards Tissue Engineering Solutions for Cardiovascular Surgery (TECAS)

Start date: Jan 1, 2013, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

"The aim of the TECAS ITN is to integrate the major European contributors in the field of cardiovascular tissue engineering (TE) and regenerative medicine (RM), to generate a coherent framework of expertise which will facilitate the training and career development of early stage researchers (ESRs) in the field. In particular, the intention of this ITN is to focus on the clinical needs of cardiac v ...

European clinical study for the application of regenerative heart valves (ESPOIR)

Start date: Jan 1, 2012, End date: Dec 31, 2016,

Acquired and congenital heart disease can necessitate heart valve replacement. However, current heart valve substitutes are not considered ideal as they need anticoagulation, bearing the risk of bleeding when manufactured from non-organic material, or they degenerate when they derive from animals or human tissue donators (homografts) thereby leading to frequent reoperation especially in the young ...
