I am writing in regarding the latest treatment using Stem Cells in valvular heart diseases (Chronic rheumatic heart disease). One of my family member is desperately in need of a treatment for valvular heart disease, we have been waiting for any new heart technology in curing the heart disease using Stem cell. While I found news about the latest heart technology in Germany and US. And I would like to know more about the technology being introduced in this article : dailymail.co.uk/health/arti...

Does anyone knows about the contact method of the surgeon and related authority that I could contact for further details?

Besides, would anyone please help to provide a contact of a hospital or Cardiac Surgeon which gives treatment using Stem Cells? Or, any direct contact on research center or relevant authorities that we might be able to find the latest stem cell development?And would you mind providing any information, if possible, about the latest stem cell technology that are available to clients with similar situation like my family (with valvular heart diseases and relevant clinical trials result?

May I thank you for your help in advance, as you are helping to ease the broken souls of the patient and their families. Thank you so much!

Hi Dorothy,

I'm sorry to hear about your family member's poor health at the moment, and can certainly understand how such an interesting trial would peak your curiosity! There's a snippet of information at the end of the article, which I've copied for you:
