Filter by:The goal of the NEO2 BAV registry is to investigate the safety, effectiveness, and clinical performance of TAVI using the ACURATE neo2 valve in patients with severe BAV stenosis. The clinical, procedural, and imaging characteristics will be collected from patients with severe BAV stenosis, regardless of the phenotype, and treated with TAVI using the ACURATE neo2 bioprosthesis worldwide.
The field of research for this study is tissue engineering and the utilization of a small intestinal submucosa graft as a substitute biomaterial for conventional buccal mucosa in substitution urethroplasty of anterior urethral strictures.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the incidence, current management practices, and outcomes in pediatric patients with HAC after liver transplantation. Research question: - What are the overall incidence of HAC and the effectiveness of all treatment strategies for HAC after pediatric LT? - What are the current management practices in the experience of centers, anticoagulant therapy, screening protocol, and assessment criteria for HAC after pediatric LT? The burden of participation is considered to be minimal, and limited to the questionnaires.
The goal of this interventional, single-center study is to demonstrate if there is a change in the coronary ostia height after surgical aortic valve replacement and if it depends on the type of prosthesis or surgical technique used. The study involves patients undergoing elective surgical aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis. Participants enrolled will undergo a CT scan before and after surgery (at least 90 days after surgery) to analyze coronary ostia height.
This trial uses prospective, retrospective, observational, non-blinded, multi-center, single-arm, post-marketing hospital data collection and research methods. The goal of this study is to assess the safety of BIOTRONIK Orsiro Sirolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in the Chinese patient population after marketing in China.
Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is an important cause of young stroke which could result in major disability. Cohort studies suggested that 17% of young ischemic stroke were accountable by APS (1). Although warfarin has been the mainstay of treatment in APS for the past decades, recurrent thromboembolism occurred up to 10% of warfarinized patients with APS (2, 3). These observations call for an in-depth understanding of disease mechanisms secondary to antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL). Contrary to traditional understanding, recent evidence suggested mechanisms of cerebrovascular ischemia in APS are far more complex than hypercoagulability alone. In the proposed cross-sectional study, we aim to determine the prevalence of intracranial stenosis, and to explore the correlations between the neuroimaging findings and the immunological as well as clinical features in patients with APS.

The trial evaluates the safety and efficacy of the olfactory mucosa-derived mesenchymal stem cells based therapy for the patients with chronic laryngeal and tracheal stenosis
Uni-Graft® K DV Patch is marketed in Europe since 1999 for reconstructive interventions of the deep femoral, femoral and iliac artery and was also indicated for carotid interventions until 01/2020. Previous studies focused on the clinical performance of different patch materials used for patch angioplasty in different indications, without specifying the product or manufacturer. Thus, it is not surprising that there is a limited amount of published literature available describing the use of the Uni-Graft® K DV Patch in the clinical routine. Therefore, the aim of the present non-interventional study (NIS) is to close this gap by collecting and evaluating existing safety and performance data documented in the clinical routine especially during the application of the Uni-Graft® K DV Patch.
Ureteroenteric anastomotic stricture is a well-known complication of urinary diversion which occurs in 4-25% of patients. Recent study has yielded that radiation is a significant risk factor for development of ureteroenteric stricture. The goal of this study is to determine whether intraoperative use of SPY fluorescent angiography during urinary diversion reduces rate of ureteroenteric stricture. This study will include 215 patients who have undergone urinary diversion over the past 5 years as historic controls and compare ureteroenteric stricture rates to a prospective cohort of patients in whom intraoperative SPY fluorescent angiography was used at the time of urinary diversion to assess the anastomotic perfusion. This will include injection of ICG intravenously as well as utilization of the SPY device to assess ureteral perfusion before and after ureteroenteric anastomosis. Based on power analysis, this study will require approximately 50 patients in our prospective group to detect a clinically significant difference of 5% between groups. Data analysis plan includes the use of chi square test for comparison of stricture rates between groups. Clinical outcomes will be followed prospectively, with no amendment to standard follow-up per physician.
The study will consist of two parts: - In Study A, objectively assessed physical activity, gait, balance, range of movement of specific joints during walking and neurophysiological findings between patients with cervical spine stenosis (CSS) without myelopathy who will be treated conservatively and patients with stenosis and signs of myelopathy who are candidates for surgical Treatment will be compared. - In Study B, the 6-month changes in the same outcomes in patients treated conservatively (from the first specialist consultation until 6 months later) and in patients treated surgically (preoperative day and 6-month post-operatively) will be quantified.
