Wonderful to see Haplo!
Look at the bottom of Proffessor Tom,s slide...he has listed about 10 different procedures the patch has been used for...including valve repair and ends with ETC!
And who better to talk about cardiocel? He was the first surgeon using it in Mater Queesland back in 2012
.. In October 2012, Mater Children’s Hospital’s cardiothoracic surgeon Professor Tom Karl performed the world’s first openheart surgery using a new patch which mimics human tissue to fix congenital heart defects (CHD) in children. It was the first time the CardioCel patches, developed by Australian company Allied Healthcare, had been used outside of a clinical trial. In Australia, congenital heart defect prevalence has been recorded at around eight cases per 1000 live births. Prof Karl and his cardiac theatre team performed three surgeries using the patch during its launch week, with all young patients now recovering well. “The use of CardioCel is expected to add significant long term value to our existing surgical practice of repairing CHD and is expected to allow our patients to live a ‘normal’ life, free of implanted tissue related complications,” Prof Karl said. Allied Healthcare managing director Lee Rodney said the global medical community had been searching for tissue that would not cause the patient’s own heart tissue to react negatively. “Ten years of pre-clinical and clinical studies have shown CardioCel patches have no evidence of toxic cell damage or build-up of hard tissue at the site for one to three years postsurgery,” Mr Rodney said. “CardioCel represents a major breakthrough in this endeavour and it has the potential to alter treatment for a range of tissue related heart repairs.
