Filter by:This study is designed to treat benign ureteral stricture with balloon dilatation through prospective multicenter studies. It aims to indications, procedure standards, and therapeutic effects of balloon dilation, and provide further guidance for endoscopic treatment of benign ureteral stricture.
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the acute safety and effectiveness of the next-generation Navitor (Portico™ NG) Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valve as assessed by the rate of all-cause mortality at 30 days and the rate of moderate or greater paravalvular leak at 30 days in a high or extreme surgical risk patient population to support CE (Conformité Européenne) Mark and FDA approval.
The management of biliary strictures depends on their correct pre-operative evaluation which remains challenging. Despite the emerging multitudes of new diagnostic opportunities and modalities which exist today, there is still a large number of biliary stenosis misdiagnosed with a profound negative impact on the patients´ outcome. The study´s aim is to compare the diagnostic yield of primary peroral cholangioscopy and ERCP (with conventional sampling - brushing and forceps biopsy - completed with the FISH) in patients with suspected malignant stricture of the common bile duct and to evaluate the impact of both methods on the management of patients with biliary stricture.
The aim of this study is to perform a multicentre, prospective, randomized, placebo controlled, double-blinded study to demonstrate the potential and beneficial effects of OVB in the prevention of recurrence of anastomotic stricture in children operated for esophageal atresia with an anastomotic stricture.
DIGEST I Pilot study is a feasibility study for evaluating the safety and efficacy of DCBs.
Objective propose: to investigate the effect of Ramipril in suppressing ST2 (suppression of tumorigenicity 2) in the cardiac mitral valve in patients with Rheumatic Heart Disease. We hypothesized that we hypothesized that ramipril will improve rheumatic mitral valve fibrosis through the downregulation of ST2.
To analyze the prevalence and impact on the prognosis of amyloidosis due to transthyretin in patients with severe aortic stenosis who undergo percutaneous aortic valve implantation.
Buccal mucosa urethroplasty is a current fashion in urethral stricture management. In our university centre (Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre) is a common surgical treatment choice. This paper aims to evaluate the success rate of this treatment after randomized choice between labial and jugal (inner cheek) grafts during the past two years.
The purpose of this study is to examine the impact of early surgery in patients with asymptomatic severe aortic valve stenosis with signs of subclinical LV dysfunction despite preserved LVEF, with a watchfull waiting approach.
Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation (tDCS) is a promising non-invasive brain stimulation technique in chronic pain. There is no study investigating the effectiveness of tDCS in radiating chronic lower extremity pain related to lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS). The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of tDCS on pain, walking capacity, functional status and quality of life in patients with chronic pain related to LSS. 32 patients diagnosed with chronic pain related to LSS will be enrolled in this prospective, randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled study according to inclusion/exclusion criteria. Patients in active group will receive 10 sessions of anodal tDCS delivered over primary motor cortex (M1) with a constant current of 2 miliAmpers for 20 minutes. Patients will be evaluated at baseline, on day 1, 5 and 10 (after the session) and 5 days, 1 month and 3 months after treatment.
