A soft robotic sleeve made of silicone could help a human heart keep beating, according to a new report published Wednesday.
For the millions suffering from heart failure and other cardiac issues, that could mean a beating heart without the blood clotting complications of the current mechanical heart pumps called ventricular assist devices, or VADs, according to a statement from the National University of Ireland Galway (https://www.eurekalert.org/pub_releases/2017-01/nuoi-sr011817.php).
The research, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, was led by Ellen Roche of that university. It took place at Harvard and at Boston Children's Hospital.
