October 28, 2013 — CBSET, a not-for-profit preclinical research institute dedicated to biomedical research, education and advancement of medical technologies, will present data from the podium at the Transcatheter Cardiovascular Therapeutics annual scientific meeting (TCT 2013) that provides a seminal experimental and computational template for a more rational, comprehensive preclinical evaluation and optimization of renal […]
“We will report a breakthrough: an experimental computational methodology for understanding and predicting lesion geometry following radiofrequency (RF) renal denervation treatment to lower hypertension. We expect that our research will have a significant effect on the development of devices that will be able to more precisely and selectively deliver RF or other types of energy […]
