(Washington, DC)—Researchers at George Washington University School of Medicine report the use of engineered cardiac tissue to treat Chronic Deep Venous Insufficiency with external pulsing ‘cuffs.’ The heart tissue cuffs, engineered from Induced Pluripotent Stem Cells, aid unidirectional blood flow via rhythmic contractions, according to lead author Narine Sarvazyan, PhD.
