Our work on a "sense-and-respond" epicardial drug delivery device is out today. This soft, multifunctional reservoir conforms and adheres to the heart surface without sutures, can sense epicardial ECG and deliver anti-arrhythmics as needed. Multiple reservoirs can be used for spatial control. Congrats to Keegan Mendez, @ClaudiaEVarela Jean Bonnemain, Jue Deng, @HyunwooYuk Brian Ayers, Will Whyte, @ProfZhaoMIT. Great to work with @Device_CP and the editorial staff to share this! authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S26…

So wonderful to play a part in this review, with an allstar surgeon/engineering team. We review the current and emerging technology for durable MCS devices, and discuss how we can work together to move the field forward. I learned so much from these ladies! See you at #THT2024

Great thread from @manisha_s1ngh on our right robotic ventricle work
Manisha Singh @manisha_s1ngh Dec 9, 2023
Left heart simulators have advanced, but replicating the complexities of the right ventricle remains a noticeable gap. In our recent paper in @NatureCVR, we addressed this challenge, shifting the spotlight to the right heart. nature.com/articles/s4416…
