Filter by:A prospective study of 600 patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) and symptoms who underwent TAVI at the Haukeland university hospital, Bergen, Norway.
A Multicenter, prospective, non-randomized, trial evaluating the safety and clinical efficacy of the next-generation, self-expandable Boston Scientific ACURATE NEO/TF Transcatheter Heart Valves, implanted in patients with severe aortic stenosis and the impact of predilatation in comparison with the Medtronic CoreValve EvolutT R/PRO systems from the DIRECT trial.
Evaluate the sensitivity and specificity of the Vivio System when used as an aid in the identification of heart sounds associated with severe aortic stenosis.
With the upcoming expansion of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) indications to younger patients, the feasibility of coronary ostia cannulation beyond different bioprosthesis stent is currently a matter of debate. Purpose of this study is: 1) to assess the feasibility to re-engage coronary ostia after TAVR; 2) to discover potential native anatomical or prosthesis-related features that may preclude proper coronary cannulation after TAVR.
Around 1-2% of people are born with a 'bicuspid' aortic valve, with only two cusps instead of the common 'tri-leaflet' valve. People with this valve develop dysfunction of the valve (narrowing or leakage) at a much earlier age. It is also more common for them to develop enlargement of the main blood vessel coming out of the heart, the aorta, and some studies suggest that they are also at higher risk of life-threatening tears in the aortic wall. Current guidelines recommend surgical replacement of the aorta at an earlier stage in these patients. The exact mechanism for the dilatation is not clear, and some studies have suggested greater 'stiffness' in the wall of the aorta. In this study, the investigators propose to 1.) study aortic size, stiffness and flow patterns using MRI in patients with bicuspid and tricuspid valves with a narrowing (aortic stenosis, 2.) measure markers in patients' blood that may be important in the process of expansion, 3.) compare the change in MRI and blood markers at before and 12 months after surgery, in patients who are due to have aortic valve replacement surgery.
To prove the non-inferiority of TAVR-CMR compared to TAVR-CT to guide TAVR according to clinical efficacy, defined as implantation success based on the VARC-2 criteria.
To compare changes in Left Ventricular Mass (LVM) depending on each blood pressure regulation between the intensive care group and the usual care group for patients with hypertension accompanied by aortic valve disease and evaluate an influence of blood pressure regulation on improvement of left ventricular hypertrophy and its safety
Background: Computer aided auscultation in the differentiation of pathologic (AHA class I) from no- or innocent murmurs (AHA class III) via artificial intelligence algorithms could be a useful tool to assist healthcare providers in identifying pathological heart murmurs and may avoid unnecessary referrals to medical specialists. Objective: Assess the quality of the artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that autonomously detects and classifies heart murmurs as either pathologic (AHA class I) or as no- or innocent (AHA class III). Hypothesis: The algorithm used in this study is able to analyze and identify pathologic heart murmurs (AHA class I) in an adult population with valve defects with a similar sensitivity compared to medical specialist. Methods: Each patient is auscultated and diagnosed independently by a medical specialist by means of standard auscultation. Auscultation findings are verified via gold-standard echocardiogram diagnosis. For each patient, a phonocardiogram (PCG) - a digital recording of the heart sounds - is acquired. The recordings are later analyzed using the AI algorithm. The algorithm results are compared to the findings of the medical professionals as well as to the echocardiogram findings.
The PROTEMBO SF Trial is a prospective, observational, multi-center, intention-to-treat study of the safety and feasibility of the ProtEmbo Cerebral Protection System in subjects with severe symptomatic native aortic valve stenosis indicated for TAVR.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the SAPIEN XT (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) transcatheter heart valve implantation (TAVI) in Chinese patients with symptomatic severe calcific aortic stenosis who are considered at high risk for surgical valve replacement.
