Filter by:The purpose of this active, observational, open-label, non-randomized, post-market surveillance study is to confirm that EDWARDS INTUITY Elite reduces cross clamp time (XCT) in MIS setting when compared to published data with a conventional valve within the MIS setting. The published dataset will used as a control group. Then to describe short term (30 days) and long term (6 months) clinical safety, to assess and compare hemodynamic data with EDWARDS INTUITY Elite to a conventional valve at discharge and at 6 months post AVR, to assess Quality of Life at baseline, and at 6 months post AVR to assess NYHA functional class at baseline, discharge, 1 month and at 6 months post AVR to assess Fitness for hospital discharge.
A single arm, prospective, open, non-randomized, Japanese multicenter trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve System (Model: 9600TFX) in the treatment of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis patients on chronic dialysis, who are determined by the heart team to be unable to undergo safe open surgical therapy and have the benefits of the study valve implantation. Following completion of enrollment, subjects will be eligible for enrollment in the continued access phase of the trial.
Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV), congenital anomaly present in 2% of the population, is defined by the presence of two sigmoid valves instead of three. It is conventionally associated with histological abnormalities of the wall of the ascending aorta, risk factors of aortic dystrophy observed in 50% of cases, and dissection. Long considered an accident of development, the discovery of mutations in the NOTCH1 gene in 2 families alternating BAV and aortic dystrophy suggests the existence of a genetic predisposition and a common genetic origin for these two pathologies. Data on the genetic basis of the BAV are still limited, but the existence of a large phenotypic diversity suggests the involvement of other genes. The establishment of large collections of DNA will allow great advances in this field. The purpose of this project is to confirm the existence of a genetic determinism at the origin of the BAV with or without dystrophy of non syndromic ascending aorta, identifying genetic defects associated with the presence of a BAV in a series of candidate genes.
The association study will compare the allele frequencies of polymorphisms of a single nucleotide (SNP) in the population of individuals with aortic stenosis compared to a control population. Patients will be included only if they are suffering from a typical form of tight and surgical tricuspid aortic stenosis. Patients will therefore only included if they are suffering from aortic stenosis, the surface is less than 1 cm² and if histological analysis or failing intraoperative findings of the surgeon showed a tricuspid aortic stenosis.
The role of cardiac mechanics, circulating biomarkers and frailty in predicting outcomes in patients with aortic stenosis after aortic valve replacement (SCRABLES -The 2-Parts Study) Part I: Observational study to characterize phenotypes, structural alterations and biomarkers profiles in a broad spectrum of patients with aortic stenosis and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Part II: Prospective cohort study to characterize patients' phenotypes, cardiac structural alterations, circulating biomarkers and frailty in order to optimize risk stratification and patient selection for aortic valve intervention.
Many patients we encounter a month post TAVI, still complain of having symptoms limiting their daily activity. The investigators set out to study whether rehabilitation strategy early after the procedure contributes to reduction of the physical disability these patients suffer from. Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a well-established treatment in patients who underwent cardiac surgery. Patients after TAVI, are natural candidates for referral to exercise-based CR. Despite this, until 2013 no data have been available about the safety and the efficacy of a comprehensive rehabilitative period in these subjects. CR is a helpful tool to maintain independency for daily life activities and participation in socio-cultural life. despite these differences, both patient groups did benefit in the same way from a post-acute in-patient rehabilitation program as assessed by 6-Minute Walking Tests and FIM scores. Patients who were unable to walk and those were slow walkers at baseline experienced an improvement in functional status after TAVI, whereas the fast walkers did not improve and actually experienced a modest decrease in 6MWTD.It has been shown that patients referred for rehabilitation after TAVI are often very frail, with a high grade of functional impairment, dependence on others and high risk of clinical complications. During a rehabilitation program, based on a multidimensional assessment and intervention, most patients showed significant improvement in functional status, quality of life, and autonomy, which remained stable in the majority of subjects during mid-term follow-up. To the investigators knowledge, no prospective study compared rehabilitation strategy to conservative treatment after TAVI. the investigators set off to test the investigators hypothesize that CR may help in the short and long term prognosis of these patients.
The objective of the REPRISE EDGE study is to confirm the acute performance and safety of the LOTUS Edge™ Valve System when used with the Lotus™ or iSleeve™ Introducer Set for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) in symptomatic patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis who are considered high risk for surgical valve replacement.
The primary objective of this study is to collect data to confirm the performance and safety of the True™ Flow Valvuloplasty Perfusion Catheter during dilatation of the aortic valve in the preparation for Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI).
Surgical aortic valve replacement (SVAR) is currently the 'Gold Standard' therapy for patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis (AS). Approximately 30-50% of patients with severe AS are deemed inoperable due to comorbidities such as severe respiratory disease, chronic renal disease and peripheral vascular disease. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as a novel therapeutic modality for inoperable patients and an effective alternative to SAVR in selected high and intermediate-risk patients. Myocardial ischemia and reperfusion injury (MRI), mediated by reactive oxygen species (ROS), related to cardiopulmonary bypass has been linked to adverse clinical outcomes following cardiac surgery. In contrast to SAVR, transcatheter deployment of aortic prostheses requires shorter time of ischemia and hypotension and may be associated with less ROS mediated MRI. Inflammatory responses and reperfusion injury following TAVR have not been previously described nor compared to SAVR. The aim of this study is therefore to compare the oxidative stress response in patients with isolated severe symptomatic AS undergoing SAVR or TAVR and determine whether it correlates with clinical outcomes.
Background: People with Williams Syndrome (WS) and supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) have less elasticity in their blood vessels. This is called blood vessel stiffness. Blood vessels may have focal narrowings called stenoses or may just be globally more narrow. Objectives: Researchers want to see how blood vessel differences in people with Williams Syndrome and supravalvular aortic stenosis affect organs in the body including the heart, gut, kidneys, and brain. Eligibility: People ages 3-85 who have WS or SVAS Healthy volunteers ages 3-85 Design: - Participants will have yearly visits for up to 10 years. All participants will be offered the same tests. - Participants will give consent for the study team to review their medical records. If the participant is a child or an adult with WS, a parent or guardian will give the consent. - Participants will visit the NIH where they will have a physical exam and medical history. Based on their health history, participants will undergo a series of imaging tests and measures of blood vessel function over the course of 2-4 days. Tests of cognitive abilites will also be performed. Blood will be drawn and an IV may be placed for specific tests.
