NDS Surgical Imaging (NDSsi) announced the release of the 27-inch Radiance Ultra, a next-generation surgical visualization platform. The ultra-high level of brightness from the LED backlight overcomes reflections and glare that occur in high ambient light environments and increases the usable contrast ratio, allowing surgeons to more easily visualize recessed anatomy.

Critical Diagnostics announced it has expanded its cardiac biomarker testing product portfolio by CE marking the Aspect-PLUS ST2 test, a rapid quantitative ST2 test. Results are reported in under 30 minutes.

A team of scientists led by Johns Hopkins cardiologist and biomedical engineer Hiroshi Ashikaga, M.D., Ph.D., has developed a mathematical model to measure and digitally map the beat-sustaining electrical flow between heart cells.

The Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) has released the first publicly accessible national report of surgical outcomes from its Congenital Heart Surgery Database (CHSD), a component of the STS National Database. Public reporting results are available at www.sts.org/publicreporting.

TAVR, TAVI, acc, ACC.15, corevalve

Key data from many transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) clinical trials will be presented as late-breakers at the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Scientific Session this weekend, March 14-16, 2015, in San Diego, Calif. While the three-day conference will be packed with lectures, poster presentations, case studies, etc., most investors will be waiting for TAVR-related clinical data from Edwards and Medtronic. We expect these data to be positive for both vendors, which will only help to solidify their hold on the global TAVR market.
