Method for Non-invasive Assessment of Pressure and Cardiac Efficiency (Case No. 2024-258)

Summary: Researchers in the Department of Medicine and Radiological Sciences at UCLA have developed a novel computational model for estimating ventricular mechanical efficiency using routine clinical exam practices. Background: Congenital heart disease (CHD) involves complex heart defects that make it harder for the heart to pump blood effectively....

Stabilized Right Atrial to Pulmonary Artery Cannula for Extracorporeal Life Support (Case No. 2023-231)

Summary: UCLA researchers in the department of surgery developed a right atrial to pulmonary canula for extracorporeal life support. Background: Extracorporeal life support (ECLS) is a last-resort medical intervention designed to support patients with severe cardiac or pulmonary failure. This technology involves the diversion of blood flow to an...
