This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research) provides $742,323 to Vanderbilt University to develop a new bioprosthetic aortic valve made from the pulmonary visceral pleura (PVP) tissue. The research aims to demonstrate the PVP valve's superior mechanical durability, calcification resistance, and hemodynamic performance compared to current bioprosthetic valves, in order to improve the long-term durability of...
The National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $172,800 Project Grant under CFDA 93.837 - Cardiovascular Diseases Research to The Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York, Health Sciences Division. The grant, awarded on July 20, 2025, will fund research to predict the hemodynamic response to mitral valve interventions using pressure-volume analysis. The research aims to: 1) identify new echocardiographic measures of left ventricular systolic function in...
The National Heart Lung and Blood Institute (NHLBI) awarded a $810,650 Project Grant (CFDA 93.837 Cardiovascular Diseases Research) to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center. The funding will support the development and validation of an artificial intelligence (AI)-enabled algorithm to characterize fibrotic and calcific aortic valve tissue from computed tomography angiography (CTA) scans. The goal is to predict rapid aortic valve disease progression and create an AI-powered risk score to predict...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute (NHLBI), part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is for the development of an endovascular prosthetic graft device that integrates nitric oxide (NO)-releasing polymer technology. The goal is to create a device that can reduce the incidence of infection, neointimal proliferation, and thrombosis - the three main clinical complications associated with current endovascular stent grafts. The total funding...
