The Growing Footprint of Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization
As the medical community continues its shift toward less invasive interventions, cardiac catheterization is becoming more commonplace within care plans for pediatric and adult patients. In many cases, this less invasive approach is the standard of care.

At the Leading Edge of Pediatric Cardiac Catheterization
Widely recognized as a world leader in pediatric interventional cardiac catheterization, the team at the Nicklaus Children’s Hospital's Heart Institute not only utilizes the most advanced devices, procedures, and treatments, they also ensure families remain the focus by actively communicating. This includes calling a patient's parents "every hour while the procedure takes place.” 

Neural-Enabled Prosthetic Hand (NEPH) System Developed at FIU restores sensation to first human subject
The NEPH system, developed at Florida International University by Ranu Jung and her Adaptive Neural Systems Laboratory team, restores a sense of touch/grasp force and hand opening by stimulating sensory nerve fibers in the residual limb with fine wires implanted inside nerves. Implantation of the device was performed by Dr. Aaron Berger and his team from Nicklaus Children’s Hospital. Berger is a hand and peripheral nerve surgeon who holds an appointment in FIU’s Department of Biomedical Engineering. 

Miami Children's Hospital Performs First Nerve Repair Surgery Using Avance Nerve® Graft Technology
The Avance® Nerve Graft isa valuable new tool that is changing how the surgical reconstruction of injured brachial plexus nerves is approached. Dr. John A. I. Grossman used this new technology to repair a brachial plexus injury on a 6 month-old baby girl.
