Cardiovascular Pre-Clinical Research Capabilities
- Our center provides a wide spectrum of cardiovascular models and procedures, enabling comprehensive evaluation of new therapies and medical devices. Supported by advanced imaging (Cath lab, Echocardiography) and surgical expertise, we deliver reliable and clinically relevant results.
- Key Capabilities
- Ischemia and reperfusion models for studying myocardial injury
- Coronary pathology and heart failure models (acute and chronic, including large-animal studies such as pigs)
- Pulmonary edema models in relevant species (e.g., sheep)
- Device and drug evaluation focused on safety, efficacy, and performance under real-world conditions
- Surgical and Interventional Approaches
- Advanced catheter-based procedures and minimally invasive techniques
- Percutaneous or surgical access via femoral artery/vein, jugular vein, carotid artery
- Thoracic and abdominal approaches to major vessels including vena cava and aorta
- Specialized access routes: trans-septal, trans-apical, and trans-atrial
- Cardiopulmonary bypass techniques for open-heart procedures
- Implantation and Vascular Interventions
- Heart valve replacements and repairs
- Intravascular stent deployment
- Atrial and ventricular implant studies
- Vascular surgical procedures including closure device evaluation
- And more…
