Filter by:The specific objectives and methods of this project are: (1) To test the feasibility and accuracy of integrating EEG, MECG and EMG for detecting the severity of diseases such as aortic stenosis, heart failure and ischemic stroke. (2) Improve the accuracy of this multi-channel brain-heart-muscle device by using an artificial intelligence auxiliary system. (3) Provide tailor-made interdisciplinary treatment strategies for patients with different disease states.
The goal of this study is to investigate the genetic and gender specific differences, in patients with low flow low gradient aortic stenosis and high flow high gradient aortic stenosis. Patients referred for surgical aorticvalve replacement will be offered to participarte in the study. The main questions the study aims to answer are: 1. Low-gradient aortic stenosis is associated with differences in valvular concentration of the genes that code for mast-cell chymase, Angiotensin-II, ACE, ACE2 and Angiotensin receptor 1 and 2. 2. Low-gradient aortic stenosis is associated with differences in the genetic code of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. 3. Gender differences in LV remodelling associates with different levels of sexual hormones. Patients participating in the study will be asked to undergo: - Cardiac ultrasound, MR- and CT-scan prior to surgery - Blooddraw prior to surgery. - Heartmuscle biopsy during surgery - Cardiac MR-scan 1 year after surgery.
A Clinical Trial of the Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation System with a Prospective, Multi-Center, One-Arm Approach to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety in the Treatment of Patients with Severe Aortic Stenosis
The goal of this trial is to determine whether the use of a novel SGLT2 inhibitor(Sodium-glucose Cotransporter-2), Enavogliflozin is safe and effective for the improvement of adverse clinical outcomes and the reversal of adverse cardiac remodelling among patients who had undergone TAVR as compared with the standard-of-care therapy.
To collect information about the management of symptomatic severe Aortic Stenosis (AS) and Aortic Regurgitation (AR) using transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI).
This is a single-centre, prospective, observational cohort study focusing on of patients suffering severe aortic valve stenosis (AS) undergoing emergent transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). AS patients undergoing emergent TAVI always have complicated clinical situations. Therefore, the aims of the study are to collect the incidence and outcomes of emergent TAVI in patients with severe symptomatic AS, to assess the safety and effectiveness of emergency TAVI system for severe AS, and to describe a more practical evidence of emergency TAVI system in severe AS patients.
Unfractioned heparin is usually given in a defined dosage during transfemoral TAVI. Activated Clotting Time (ACT) is usually used to measure the heparin effect. ACT-analysis is easy to perform at the bedside, but susceptible to interference effects. At the end of the procedure, protamine is given to reverse eventual residual heparin effect. An overdose of protamine can impair the coagulation itself. The investigators want to analyse the effect of a partial heparin reversal by ROTEM Analysis.
Aortic valve stenosis is the most common valve disease leading to surgical or percutaneous intervention in Europe and North America. Percutaneous aortic valve replacement (TAVI) is currently recommended for the management of patients with symptomatic aortic stenosis and with high; very high operative risk of aortic valve replacement surgery or intermediate operative risk of aortic valve replacement surgery after a benefit-risk assessment by a heart team and operative contraindication to conventional aortic valve replacement surgery. These indications are supported by the 2017 European Cardiology guidelines. This technique of percutaneous arterial valve implantation is most often performed via the femoral route, under local anesthesia, with placement of a prosthetic biological valve in the aortic position, impacting it into the patient's native aortic valve. TAVI has been shown to be superior to medical treatment in patients with a aortic valve stenosis at very high operative risk of conventional aortic valve replacement surgery. However, the occurrence of atrioventricular conduction disorders (de novo left bundle branch block (LBBB) or complete AVB) remains the most frequent complication after TAVI. Therefore, the rate of pacemaker (PM) implantation after TAVI remains high, ranging from 2% to 51%, with an average rate of 13%. Pacemaker implantation has several deleterious effects (increased hospitalization time, desynchronization of the left ventricle by permanent right ventricular pacing, exposure of the patient to procedural complications of pacemaker placement, and possible increase in the final cost to society of the initial hospitalization. Not all patients who received a pacemaker post TAVI implantation use their PM. The rate of Pacemaker dependency and therefore of patients who actually use their pacemaker is approximately 33-36% at 1 year after percutaneous valve implantation. In view of all the potentially deleterious consequences of post TAVI pacemaker implantation, it is therefore necessary to know which patients really justify pacemaker implantation after percutaneous valve implantation. The purpose of this study is to investigate diagnostic imaging criteria that may be predictive of the occurrence of intramyocardial conduction disorders post TAVI implantation. Although some patients present only transient conductive disturbances, the impact of tissue inflammation of the intramyocardial conduction pathways after TAVI remains to be understood.
The Brain lEsions after TrAnscatheter aorTic ValvE Replacement (BETTER) registry is a prospective, observational, multi-center registry aiming to assess the presence of new brain microbleeds assessed on susceptibility-weighted imaging at 3 enrolling sites, in China (West China Hospital, Sichuan University), UK (St Thomas' Hospital) and Denmark (Rigshospitalet, University of Copenhagen). The main study arm is planned to include 100 patients with symptomatic severe aortic stenosis undergoing transfemoral TAVR of any devices and 50 isolated bioprosthetic SAVR patients treated during the enrollment period as a control arm.
The purpose of this study was to observe the safety and effectiveness of transcatheter aortic valve replacement in patients with aortic valve stenosis in a real-world clinical practice environment.
