Filter by:Objective The objective of this study is to discover whether an infusion of nicardipine is able to reduce the time taken to achieve electrocerebral silence (ECS) during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) for aortic surgery. Hypothesis By inhibiting cold-induced cerebral vasoconstriction, nicardipine will maintain cerebral blood flow and allow more rapid cooling of the brain during CPB. This will manifest as a reduction in the time taken to achieve ECS and also as a reduction in overall CPB time.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Relay thoracic stent-graft system to treat thoracic aortic aneurysms. Efficacy will be evaluated by the device-related adverse event rate of endovascular repair (via Relay Thoracic Stent-Graft) through 1-year. Safety will be evaluated by comparing major adverse events through 1-year in subjects treated with the Relay Thoracic Stent-Graft to those who underwent surgical repair. Long term follow-up is conducted through 5 years.
This study was designed to study safety and effectiveness of the Valiant Thoracic Stent Graft to treat thoracic aortic aneurysms.
The primary objective of this study is to test the hypothesis that time on the ventilator and ICU length of stay will be shorter in TAA patients given postoperative sedation with dexmedetomidine compared to those given standard sedation. Secondary endpoints are: requirement for sedatives vasoactive drugs incidence of postoperative delirium and cost analysis.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether immunonutrition and pre operative nutrition can reduce lenght of respirator support, lenght of stay in the ICU and incidence of post operative infections
The STARZ-TX2 trial (Study of Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm Repair with the Zenith TX2(R) TAA [Thoracic Aortic Aneurysm] Endovascular Graft) is a clinical trial approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to study the safety and effectiveness of the Zenith TX2 TAA Endovascular Graft in the treatment of thoracic aortic aneurysms / ulcers.
