    The purpose of this investigator-initiated study is to identify differences in gene expression in patients with bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valve disease with and without dilation of the ascending aorta. Pivotal Study of the safety and effectiveness of autologous bone marrow aspirate concentrate (BMAC) for the treatment of critical limb ischemia due to peripheral arterial occlusive disease This pivotal study, sponsored by Harvest Technologies, is designed to show the safety and effectiveness of an investigational treatment for critical limb ischemia. The investigational treatment involves removing stem cells from the patient’s own bone marrow and injecting them into the leg to possibly improve blood flow.

    The primary aim of this data collection is a three-way comparison of the Maquet Minimal Extra-Corporeal Circulation (M.E.C.C.) System, the conventional heart-lung machine, and off-pump surgery in the setting of coronary artery bypass grafting. We are offering a new, less invasive cardiopulmonary bypass option to our patients. Additionally, we will be using advanced genomic mapping to evaluate our patients, which will offer the possibility of identifying numerous genetic markers in the blood that may help us better understand changes during open heart surgery.
