Take a tour of the heart valves during this short video, where Cleveland Clinic's Eric Roselli, MD, explains how these heart valves work.

Learn about the #1 medical innovation from the Cleveland Clinic.

The STAMPEDE trial reported (NEJM) that bariatric surgery performed considerably better than traditional medical therapy in obese patients with type 2 diabetes, independent of weight loss. Bariatric surgery induced remission and was associated with a significant improvement in metabolic control over and above medical therapy, both conventional and intensive. Bariatric procedures should no longer be considered as a last resort in diabetes and might well be considered earlier in the treatment of obese people with type 2 diabetes.

What is it like being a resident doctor at the Cleveland Clinic? Gabriel Loor has never been more inspired than when he's sharing the operating room with world-renown Cleveland Clinic heart surgeons during coronary bypass surgery.

Learn about Breast Tomosysnthesis, the 9th top medical innovation from the Cleveland Clinic.

The DBT system employs a digital X-ray that records a series of low-dose, high-resolution images of the breast while traversing a small (15°) arc around the compressed breast. As the projection angle changes, images are recorded at slightly different depths and thicknesses, from one surface of the breast to the other. The compression time of approximately four seconds needed for DBT is similar to that used for standard two-dimensional digital mammography. Following the procedure, reconstruction algorithms are used to create a 3-D rendering of the interior breast architecture.
This rendering is presented to the breast imager as a stack of images of the breast that, in total, represent the area from one skin surface to the other. Each DBT image can be magnified or manipulated to better reveal minute detail. These processes can reduce the superimposition of overlapping tissue shadows seen in two-dimensional mammograms, allowing more accurate interpretations of breast changes.
