They said parents should clearly communicate the message they want to send to their children about alcohol consumption.

Patients with a common heart defect known as Aortic Stenosis, who undergo catheter valve replacement surgery, have the same survival and complication rates as patients without the defect. Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center said the study shows patients with the defect can be treated with the minimally invasive procedure and avoid open heart surgery.
