Filter by:AliveCor (www.alivecor.com) has developed several electrocardiogram (ECG) devices that interface with iOS and Android smartphones and tablets via various Kardia apps. The current Kardia family of devices can measure single lead and six limb-lead ECGs, depending on the device. KardiaMobile, KardiaMobile 6L, and KardiaMobile Card have FDA clearance for ECG rhythm recording. A modified single-lead Kardia smartphone 12-lead ECG was previously validated in the multicenter ST LEUIS study for the diagnosis of ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) and Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI). Recently, AliveCor developed a new device: AliveCor (AC) 12-lead (12L) ECG System to record simultaneously 4 leads of ECG and then generate complete 12-lead ECGs. A previous protocol at the University of Oklahoma involved 200 subjects with early prototypes of the AC 12L device with the specific aim to validate that it accurately generated 12-lead ECGs as compared to simultaneously acquired FDA-cleared 12-lead ECGs. The prototype version of the AliveCor 12L ECG System simultaneously measured four channels of ECG (leads I, II, V2, V4), calculated the remaining limb leads as is standard for 12-lead ECGs (Leads III, aVR, aVL, aVF) and synthesized the remaining 4 precordial ECG leads (V1, V3, V5, V6). This protocol will serve to validate the production version of the system against standard 12-Lead ECGs for the diagnosis of STEMI and NSTEMI in patients admitted to the Emergency Department or directly to the Cardiac Cath Lab for the evaluation of chest pain. It is anticipated that the waveforms for each of the 12 leads from the AC 12L ECG System will be highly correlated with the corresponding leads from the comparator commercially available 12-lead ECG devices used at participating sites. The purpose of this study is to clinically validate that the four-channel AC 12L ECG device can enable the diagnosis of STEMI and NSTEMI in a non-inferior manner to existing 12-lead ECG devices.
The is a first clinical study for Oricell Therapeutics Inc. in the United States to evaluate the safety, PK, PD and preliminary efficacy of our anti-GPRC5D cell product (OriCAR-017) in subjects with relapsed/refractory multiple myeloma. RIGEL Study
This study aims to evaluate the clinical, imaging results of endovascular revascularization of the aorto-iliac sector in comparison with aortobifemoral bypass and the hybrid approach, in patients with atherosclerotic disease of the iliac sector classified as type C and D by the TransAtlantic Inter-Society Consensus (TASC II
Background: The treatment of patients with complex aortoiliac disease (AID), classified as Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society consensus II (TASC) class C and D, presents a dilemma for vascular surgeons. Current guidelines recommend either open surgical reconstruction (OR), hybrid repair (HR) combining iliac stenting with femoral endarterectomy, or total endovascular repair (ER). While traditional OR with aortobifemoral bypass (ABF) is associated with excellent long term patency results, it is associated with significant perioperative morbidity with some studies citing mortality rates of up to 4-8%. The advancement of endovascular techniques has led to many trials suggesting that endovascular management of TASC II C and D lesions is a potential alternative treatment to open strategies mainly in the subset of patients with high surgical risk, given the substantially less perioperative morbidity and mortality compared to OR. Aim: The aim of this trial is to evaluate the short, mid-, and long-term results of open repair, hybrid and endovascular repair in the treatment patients with complex, TASC C and D, aortoiliac lesions. Methodology: This is a retrospective cohort study planning to include vascular surgery centers from the following countries: Italy, Portugal, Spain, and Serbia. Data will be collected on demographics, baseline comorbidities, anatomy and morphology of the aortoiliac and femoral bifurcation disease, intraoperative, postoperative, and follow-up data. Propensity score analysis will be performed by matching open repair patients in all three groups (open, hybrid, and endovascular repair) controlling for demographics, baseline comorbidities, anatomical and morphological data. Endpoints: Primary endpoints are all-cause mortality and the major adverse limb events (major amputation - below and above the knee, new onset acute limb ischaemia, reintervention of the treated arterial segment). The secondary endpoints are the 30-day complications and primary patency.
The study aims to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Supernova stent retriever device, developed by Gravity Medical Technology, for treating acute ischemic stroke. The device is used to remove blood clots and restore blood flow to the brain .
Portal hypertension (PHT) is the main consequence of advanced chronic liver diseases (ACLD) and is often associated with severe complications leading to increased morbidity and mortality. Currently, the gold standard for the evaluation of the severity of PHT is the hepatic venous-pressure gradient (HVPG). The disadvantage of using the HVPG, besides the availability of the technique only in referral centres, is in the case of patients with vascular liver disorders because the HVPG underestimates the severity of PHT. Recent studies have evaluated the feasibility of the pressure gradient measurement through endoscopic transgastric and transhepatic access using special kit with a 25-gauge FNA needle (Cook Medical, Winston-Salem, NC, USA) and a compact manometer (Cook Medical, Bloomington, Ind, USA) that has the disadvantage of high purchase cost, no tracing of pressure possible and has not yet been properly correlated with the gold standard HVPG measurement or PPG measurement thus limiting its use in current practice. The aim of the study is 1. to assess and compare the correlations in the porto-systemic gradient measurement between a) direct portal vein puncture during TIPS insertion, b) direct portal and hepatic pressure measurements using a 22 Gauge FNA needle during endoscopic ultrasound procedure and c) indirect portal vein pressure measurements using the interventional radiology based hepatic HVPG procedure in patients with cirrhosis submitted to TIPS procedure for complications of portal hypertension and 2. To evaluate and compare the porto-systemic gradient obtained by direct portal and hepatic pressure measurements using a 22 Gauge FNA needle during endoscopic ultrasound and indirect measurement through HVPG measuring in patients with presinusoidal hypertension and those with portal vein thrombosis.
The VASCULAID-RETRO study, within the broader VASCULAID project, aims to create artificial intelligence (AI) algorithms that can predict cardiovascular events and the progression of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) and peripheral arterial disease (PAD). The study plans to gather and analyze data from at least 5000 AAA and 6000 PAD patients, combining existing cohorts and retrospectively collected data. During this project, AI tools will be developed to perform automatic anatomical segmentation and analyses on multimodal imaging. AI prediction algorithms will be developed based on multisource data (imaging, medical history, -omics).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether pulmonary blood volume (PBV) derived from contrast echocardiography can serve as a non-invasive surrogate for invasive pulmonary artery wedge pressure (PAWP) during exercise. Also, to compare changes in PBV with exercise in patients with and without heart failure and pulmonary vascular disease.
The main objectives of this observational study are to compare the results of the sonographic parameter hand acceleration time (HAT) measured before and after creating an arteriovenous fistula (AVF) for hemodialysis and assess if it is associated with the incidence of hemodialysis access-induced distal ischemia (HAIDI). The secondary objectives are to study the incidence of HAIDI in patients intervened for the creation of an AVF in the last 6 months, study the AVF permeability at 6 months, and study the AVF-related complications at 6 months.
The purpose of this study is to understand more about why women who have had hypertensive pregnancies may be at increased risk of high blood pressure and why these women are often at increased risk of heart and blood vessel disease later in life.
