(Jerusalem Post) Israel is #1 in the world in patents per capita in the medical field, and a significant part of it goes to cardiovascular disease, Prof. Michael Glikson, Director of the Integrated Heart Center at Shaare Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem, said Wednesday. Among the major innovations being implemented at the hospital that were born from Israeli innovation is the transcatheter aortic valve replacement procedure for severe narrowing of the aortic valve. Using a catheter, this procedure brings a new valve into place in the heart to restore normal flow. Similarly, the mitral valve can be repaired by using a clip that staples the two leaflets of the valve together. He also demonstrated how pacemakers have continued to decrease in size, so that it's possible to implant a capsule-like pacemaker without a box and leads, without leaving any surgical scar. Another tiny chip-like device is injected under the skin and performs like an EKG machine that can remain in the patient's body for up to three years.2018-11-30 00:00:00Full Article
