Filter by:Turner syndrome is a congenital complete or partial lack one of the female sex chromosomes affecting 1 of 2000 live born girls. The syndrome is characterized by an increased prevalence of ischemic heart disease, aortic dilation and dissection, hypertension, stroke and autoimmune diseases in general. Our study aim is: - Using MRI to further characterize and find risk factors leading to aortic dilation. - Using MRI to assess the degree of aortic distensibility. - Using Computed tomography x-ray scanning of the heart and coronary arteries to characterize the prevalence and degree of ischemic heart disease and coronary anomalies. - Using pressure sensitive ultrasound (applanation tonometry) to assess the degree of aortic stiffness when compared to controls using end points as Pulse Wave Velocity, Augmentation Index and Central Pulse Pressure.
Different cross clamping techniques in aortic surgery causes different cardiac stress
The ANCHOR registry is a multi-center, post-market, non-interventional, non-randomized, prospective study. Subjects must sign an ICF prior to obtaining any study specific information. Subjects are eligible to be consented up to 30 days post-procedure. Enrolled subjects will be followed as per local 'standard of care' for up to 5 years post procedure. Study recommended follow-up is per SVS and ESVS guidance.
The investigators expect that the using of prothesis with sinuses has more benefits for long term competence and condition of aortic valve than the using of straight prothesis.
Q-fever is a zoonosis caused by Coxiella burnetii, an intracellular bacterium. Since the epidemic outbreak of acute Q-fever in Holland nearly 4030 people have been registered with the acute form of the disease. Knowing that only 40% of all infected people develop symptoms, the number of infected people (and potential candidates for chronic Q-fever) are much higher. Chronic Q-fever generally manifest itself after a couple of months or years after the primary infection (in 1-5% of all cases). The clinical presentation can be a life-threatening and frequently underdiagnosed disease, as endocarditis, infected aneurysm and vascular prosthesis or chronic Q-fever related to pregnancy and immunecompromised patients. That's why a screening program is started in the endemic area and trace patients with chronic Q-fever. So eventually, a greater group of patients with chronic vascular Q-fever can be described. In addition, there is still no therapeutic guideline for management of chronic Q-fever in patient with a vascular chronic Q-fever. Patients with an aneurysm or vascular graft will be screened for chronic Q-fever. Patients with chronic Q-fever will be included in a follow-up program, in which additional research and treatment will start. The initial treatment of patients with chronic Q-fever is doxycycline and hydroxychloroquine for at least 18 months. In addition, patients will be monitored in 3-monthly controls, blood samples and imaging will be done. Parameters as complaints, titers, circulating DNA, grow of aneurysm, complications etc. will be investigated. Ultimately, the current therapeutic guideline for management of C. burnetii will be evaluated if it can also be applied for patients with vascular chronic Q-fever.
This is an observational Registry designed to obtain early data on the use of the GORE® EXCLUDER® AAA Endoprosthesis with C3 Delivery System.
The aim of this study is to prospectively compare the perioperative mortality severe morbidity and the costs of endovascular versus conventional surgical repair of type 1, 2 and 3 thoracal abdominal aortic aneurysms.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety of deploying and implanting the Altura Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm (AAA) Endograft in the treatment of abdominal aortic aneurysms in subjects who are candidates for open surgical aneurysm repair.
Evaluate the safety and effectiveness of endovascular repair with the LeMaitre TAArget thoracic stent graft as an alternative to open surgical repair.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate the TALENT endoluminal stent-graft system in patients with abdominal aortic aneurysms. The TALENT endoluminal stent-graft system is a flexible, implantable endoluminal vascular device preloaded in a placement system that is used to exclude abdominal aortic aneurysms.
