On Thursday, Oct. 4, at 9 a.m. ET, cardiovascular specialists at Children's Hospital Boston will perform a rare interventional catheterization during a live Webcast on www.OR-Live.com. Children's hosts three to four Webcasts annually to showcase its pioneering care and technology to specialists and referring clinicians around the world, and to educate consumers on the latest and most innovative medical treatments available. The Webcast will feature a Transcatheter Pulmonary Valve (TPV) implantation, currently in clinical trial at Children's and two other pediatric hospitals. The non-surgical treatment restores effective pulmonary valve function and potentially prolongs the functional life of the right ventricle to pulmonary artery conduits. Medtronic, Inc. (NYSE: MDT), producer of the valve, is sponsoring the study.
