This week the topic is cardiovascular surgery and we speak with Dr. Ignacio Berra of Buenos Aires Argentina about a recent work he co-authored with the surgical bioengineering team at Boston Children's Hospital regarding a newly developed tool to assess the aortic valve. Can this device safely allow for visualization of the valve under the usual aortic diastolic pressures to aid in anatomical assessment and post-repair assessment? What are the technical hurdles of using this device? Is it ready for use in humans? We discuss these and other questions with Dr. Berra this week. doi: 10.1016/j.jtcvs.2018.07.113
