| Session 8A: Cardiovascular Device Applications I | ||||
| Location: Governors Hall II, III & IV (Radisson Riverfront Hotel) | ||||
| (Please check final room assignments on-site). | ||||
| Session Description: BACKGROUND
The design and manufacturing of clinically successful cardiovascular implants requires a full understanding of the environment (mechanical and biological) in which they must function, utilization of appropriate materials and device geometries, and validated predictive methods for pre-clinical performance evaluation.
SESSION FOCUS
The two sessions focus on the analysis of physiological conditions as a basis for design requirements, material selection and processing for optimum clinical performance, and pre- and post- clinical performance evaluation.
SESSION TAKEAWAYS
The sessions should aid device designers and test labs in improving device clinical performance through next-generation design improvements. | ||||
