Filter by:In recent years increasing number of mitral bioprosthesis implantation, especially in elderly population, is observed. Bioprosthetic valves are associated with a lower risk of thrombotic and bleeding adverse events compared with mechanical prostheses, but their use is limited due to their durability. After years numerous patients may develop bioprosthesis failure, requiring valve reintervention. Significantly burdened ones are oftentimes disqualified or not referred to surgery redo. An emerging treatment method for these patients is transcatheter mitral valve-in-valve implantation as an alternative to re-operation. This technique is applied with the use of devices previously dedicated to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Recent papers prove that transcatheter mitral valve replacement (TMVR) is a safe and effective procedure when performed in a selected group of high-surgical-risk patients. However, data regarding the Polish population are limited. Therefore, the aim of the study is to create a nationwide registry, collecting data from all Polish centers performing TMVR in order to describe the population of patients developing mitral bioprosthesis failure, evaluate their follow-up after TMVR as well as results of the transcatheter valvular intervention and identify potential limitations of the procedure.
Rheumatic mitral stenosis remains a health problem in developing countries. Progressive fibrosis of the valves and myocardium is the main pathophysiology that plays an important role. Dapagliflozin has various beneficial effects on the heart by reducing fibrosis, reducing inflammation, and improving patient quality of life. However, the role of this therapy is unknown in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis.
This study aims to compare the efficacy and safety of the edoxaban and the warfarin in atrial fibrillation patients with mitral stenosis. The study design is a multicenter, randomized, open-label, investigator initiated phase 2 trial. The patients were randomly assigned to Edoxaban or Warfarin groups. Primary outcome was a composite of stroke and systemic arterial thromboembolism. The safety outcome was major bleeding.
Collect real-world data on acute and long-term safety and performance of the MITRIS RESILIA Mitral Valve, Model 11400M, in subjects requiring replacement of their native or prosthetic mitral valve with or without concomitant procedures.
Consecutive patients with severe mitral stenosis and clot in left atrial appendage (LAA) on transesophageal echocardiography fulfilling the inclusion criteria will be recruited for this study. An ACUSON 128-XP echocardiographic system equipped with omniplane and biplane transesophageal probes will be used for this study. TEE followed by CT Angiography will be performed according to the standard procedure after obtaining informed consent.
Although the prevalence of rheumatic fever is decreasing in developed countries, it still affects numerous areas in the non- industrialized world. Untreated mitral stenosis (MS) contributes significantly to global morbidity and mortality. Echocardiography is the main diagnostic imaging modality for evaluation of mitral valve (MV) obstruction and assessment of severity and hemodynamic consequences of MS as well as valve morphology. According to current guidelines and recommendations for clinical practice, the severity of MS should not be defined by a single value but assessed by valve areas, mean Doppler gradients, and pulmonary pressures. Transthoracic echocardiography is usually sufficient to grade MS severity and to define the morphology of the valve. Transesophageal echocardiography is used when the valve cannot be adequately assessed with transthoracic echocardiography and to exclude intracardiac thrombi before a percutaneous or surgical intervention. Three-dimensional transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiographic assessment provide more detailed physiological and morphological information. Current definitive treatment for severe MS involves percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PMBV) or surgery. The effectiveness of PMBV is related to the etiology of MS, and certain anatomic characteristics tend to predict a more successful outcome for PMBV, whereas other MV structural findings might suggest balloon valvuloplasty to be less likely successful or even contraindicated. Does 3D echo can add more useful information over 2 D echo that could change treatment decision?
The purpose of this study is to conduct the initial clinical investigation of the Foldax Polymer Mitral Valve to collect evidence on the device's safety and performance. The study is anticipated to confirm successful clinical safety and clinical effectiveness with significant improvements in clinical hemodynamic performance.
Prospective, single-center observational registry including all consecutive patients treated with transcatheter mitral or tricuspid valve therapy at the Deutsches Herzzentrum München, Germany.
Valvular heart diseases are significant problem in Polish population. Coexistence of coronary artery disease in patients with VHD increases the risk of death and affects further therapeutic strategy. The aim of the study is analysis the epidemiology and the long-term prognosis among patients with VHD.
A randomized 12-month trial will include two groups of 100 individuals aged over 50 years, with asymptomatic mild to moderate Aortic valve stenosis (AVA > 1 cm2, Vmax < 4 m/s). The first group of 100 individuals will serve as the intervention group that will receive 300 mcg of K2 vitamin on a daily basis, while the second group of 100 individuals will be the control group that will receive placebo on a daily basis as well. Both groups will be monitored identically in order to investigate therapeutic effects on calcification and valve stenosis progression. Correlation with Mitral annulus and ascending Aorta.Exclusion criteria: Chronic Kidney disease, Vitamin K antagonists, statins, age < 50 y.o,prosthetic valves,Aortic Valve area (AVA) < 1cm2 ,Vmax > 4 m/s
