title: The functional anatomy of human cardiac valves and unique visualization of transcatheter-delivered valves being deployed.
abstract: The reanimation of large mammalian hearts, including those of humans, using Visible Heart methodologies provides a unique perspective of functional cardiac anatomy. This knowledge is critical for design engineers and clinicians who seek less invasive cardiac repair approaches for patients with acquired or congenital structural heart defects.
