The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $734,463 Project Grant under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) to The Methodist Hospital Research Institute Division to advance the treatment of peripheral artery disease (PAD). The key products and services to be delivered under this 5-year award include: Establishing a novel MRI-histology anatomic scoring system to predict immediate technical failure of percutaneous vascular interventions (PVI) and...
This $761,042 Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) supports research to investigate the mechanisms driving medial arterial calcification (MAC) in peripheral artery disease (PAD). The University of Pittsburgh, the primary awardee, will conduct complementary studies to: 1) define how the DNA damage response promotes vascular calcification, and 2) determine how reduced adenosine production...
This Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) provides $736,752 to develop and test a novel Axially Prestretched Elastomeric Nanofibrillar Graft (APENG) for lower extremity arterial reconstructions. The project aims to address the high failure rates of existing synthetic vascular grafts used in treating lower extremity arterial disease. The APENG concept incorporates axial prestretch to...
This federal Project Grant award, valued at $153,252 and granted by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), supports a 3-year research program to investigate the role of a specific macrophage population (SPP1+ macrophages) in skeletal muscle regeneration in peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The key objectives are to determine if SPP1+ macrophages inhibit muscle stem cell regeneration and macrophage polarization...
This $656,751 Project Grant awarded by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837) funds the development of an artificial intelligence (AI)-based platform called TCDFLOW by Third Coast Dynamics, Inc. The platform aims to provide 4D hemodynamic assessment of thoracic aortic aneurysms directly from routine clinical anatomic images, without the need for specialized 4D flow MRI techniques and expertise. The two-phase...

This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) aims to develop a "4D Right-Heart Virtual Catheter (VCATH)" to provide a comprehensive, non-invasive assessment of hemodynamics in pulmonary hypertension patients. The $691,326 award to Northwestern University, with sub-awards to Mayo Clinic and UT Southwestern Medical Center, will fund the creation of an automated 4D-flow MRI-based solution to diagnose...

This Project Grant award of $691,708 from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), under the Cardiovascular Diseases Research program (CFDA 93.837), aims to develop a new contrast-free ultrasound-based technique called Angio Flow Reactivity Analysis (AFRA) for assessing peripheral arterial disease (PAD) of the lower limbs.

The key objectives are to: 1) Determine the efficacy of the AFRA method for PAD assessment and correlate the results with ankle-brachial index and computed tomography angiography, and 2) Evaluate the AFRA method for assessing disease progression and monitoring response to interventional treatment in PAD patients. This research leverages the expertise and facilities at Mayo Clinic to advance a novel, non-invasive imaging approach that can provide quantitative information on microvascular flow changes relevant to PAD development and progression. The project aims to deliver a new diagnostic tool to facilitate early detection and management of this cardiovascular condition.
