Development of transcatheter aortic valve interventional devices and valve repair devices with independent intellectual property rights.
Innovation on theory and technique of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR), especially supra-annular structure based sizing strategy (Hangzhou Solution), has significantly lowerd TAVR mortality and complication rates. This strategy now is widely accepted worldwide among cardiologists.
Proposition of important theories of cardiac function reconstruction after myocardial infarction, including the theory and scheme of hypoxic preconditioning of mesenchymal stem cells to improve cardiac function, and the discovery of important paracrine substances and molecular mechanisms.
Carrying out ongest cycle of non-human primate research in the field of cardiac function reconstruction.
