Innovations in interventional cardiology: Technology, funding and political strategies

介入心脏病学技术的数量正在增长,这些设备将需要临床实施,提高性能和标准化的监管过程,以实现全球患者的利益。这些挑战在西方医学中显而易见,以及诸如Yale-UCL collaborative已经开发出来促进心血管医学的EU-US创新。

最近在The The The The The The The The The最近解决了工程考虑,跨大西洋监管程序,医疗保健政策,创新设备的资金以及最重要的是临床需求Yale-UCL Cardiovascular Device Summit(18Th-19Th扬),BMC医学很高兴参加。这一问题的政治兴趣很明确,因为这次有影响力的会议的开幕词由乔治·弗里曼,,,,Member of UK Parliament and Government Advisor on Life Sciences, who highlighted that innovative research in translational and patient-centered medicine through collaborations with the NHS, academia and industry will help drive a competitive economy.

这meeting was chaired byAlexandra Lanskyand迈克尔·穆伦,以及主要资金和监管机构(包括NIHR,NIH,NHS,FDA和MHRA)的主要资金和监管机构,医疗技术公司和介入心脏病学家的工程师。

讨论经皮冠状动脉干预包括第二代跨主动脉瓣植入(TAVI),二尖瓣设备,新型可生物降解支架和靶向生物制剂。这爱德华兹·萨皮恩经导管心脏阀在欧洲已经使用了几年,最近批准了其在美国的使用后出版了合作伙伴1审判。下一代Edwards Sapien XT经导管心脏阀目前正在III期中进行测试合作伙伴2审判。但是,在整个有关神经保护的会议上解决了TAVI之后大脑中风率较高的担忧,并包括Alexandra Lansky和Andreas Baumbach

令人信服的会议毒品洗脱支架((DES) showed that the next generation stents will require improved delivery, lower drug quantities, less聚合物and decrease risk of thrombosis. The fully可生物吸收的支架技术允许在受伤的动脉血管成形术和第一次试验后确定该技术在人中的安全性后进行阳性重塑(Artdiva学习)。此外,目前正在大型欧盟资助的大型欧盟中研究磁性生物降解支架生物势项目。

Other topics discussed at the summit included vascular and uterine artery gene therapies, non-invasive blood pressure monitoring device (bpro)和新颖成像冠状动脉疾病的技术。会议以使用计算模型和新工程工具来帮助生成患者特定设备,这是个性化医学的重要方面。

总体看来,临床、政治和economic collaborations of this prominent meeting will help promote government incentives, global networks, regulatory reform and industrial partnerships for innovation in academia. The ultimate goal is of course to improve interventional cardiology treatment options for patients, and the strategic partnership between the clinicians and engineers involved in the Yale-UCL collaborative project appears to be a step in the right direction.
