This award funds the development of a novel dual lumen catheter and pulmonary support system to improve survival and treatment for patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension and right ventricular failure, including support while awaiting lung transplantation.
Description
The project aims to develop an innovative dual lumen catheter coupled with a pulmonary support system to support patients with severe pulmonary arterial hypertension and right ventricular failure. The system will allow for prolonged positioning, flow monitoring, and protection of the left ventricle, with the goal of improving survival and treatment options, including providing a bridge to lung transplantation.
