Filter by:This study is a multi-center, prospective, registry study. This research was supported by the National Key Research and Development Program. To establish a domestic multi-center, large-scale "brain-heart comorbidity" dynamic database platform including clinical, sample database, image and other multi-dimensional information requirements, through the construction of a multi-center intelligent scientific research integration platform based on artificial intelligence. Any of newly diagnosed cardiovascular related diseases were identified via ICD-10-CM codes: I21, I22, I24 (Ischaemic heart diseases) [i.e., ACS], I46 (cardiac arrest), I48 (Atrial fibrillation/flutter), I50 (Heart failure), I71 (Aortic disease), I60 (subarachnoid hemorrhage), I61 (intracerebral hemorrhage), I63 (Cerebral infarction), I65 (Occlusion and stenosis of precerebral arteries), I66 (Occlusion and stenosis of cerebral arteries), I67.1 (cerebral aneurysm), I67.5 (moyamoya diseases), Q28.2 (Arteriovenous malformation of cerebral vessels). The data is stored on the brain-heart comorbidity warehouse via a physical server at the institution's data centre or a virtual hosted appliance. The brain-heart comorbidity platform comprises of a series of these appliances connected into a multicenter network. This network can broadcast queries to each appliance. Results are subsequently collected and aggregated. Once the data is sent to the network, it is mapped to a standard and controlled set of clinical terminologies and undergoes a data quality assessment including 'data cleaning' that rejects records which do not meet the brain-heart comorbidity quality standards. The brain-heart comorbidity warehouse performs internal and extensive data quality assessment with every refresh based on conformance, completeness, and plausibility (http://10.100.101.65:30080/login).
Type A aortic dissection (TAAD) is a potentially life-threatening pathology associated with significant risk of mortality and morbidity. In acute forms of type A aortic dissection (TAAD) mortality is 50% by 24 h and 50% of patients die before reaching a specialist center. Rapid diagnosis and subsequent prompt surgical repair remain the primary goal for these patients. In the last decade it has been observed that improvements in diagnostic techniques, initial management and increased clinical awareness have contributed to a substantial increase in the number of patients benefiting from a prompt diagnosis and undergoing surgery.However, survival after surgical repair has not yet reached optimal follow-ups and is burdened by high in-hospital mortality(16-18%)
Pericapsular nerve group (PENG block) is a new fascial block defined by Arango et al. This block aims to block the femoral nerve and the accessory obturator nerve by injecting local anesthetic between the pubic ramus and psoas tendon. By blocking these nerves, anterior hip analgesia is created. It is a safe and effective method as it is applied superficially and under ultrasound guidance. In radiological and cadaver studies, it has been reported that when high volume is applied, total hip analgesia can be achieved by blocking the lateral femoral cutaneous, genitofemoral, obturator, and femoral nerves.
The study will evaluate, in a controlled setting, the efficacy and safety of the intravascular lithotripsy using Shockwave™ M5+ Peripheral Intravascular Lithotripsy Catheter to facilitate delivery of aortic large-bore devices in iliac calcified access.
This study is the feasible study on a new technique of ZIPPER aortic arch stentgraft system
Aortic infections (AIs), including aortic graft infections (AGI) as well as mycotic aortic aneurysms (MAA), are rare. The aim of this study is to present our experience with xenogeneic aortic and aortoiliac reconstructions using the BioIntegral Surgical No-React® bovine pericardial graft.
This study aims to evaluate mid- and long-term outcomes after Thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) with custom-made devices.
The term mycotic aneurysm (MA) is commonly used to describe all infected aneurysms. Although MAs are believed to occur uncommonly, the true incidence is difficult to determine and is probably underestimated since MAs can be asymptomatic and are diagnosed only at autopsy. In an autoptic study, mycotic aortic aneurysms (MAAs) were reported in 3.3% of all detected aneurysms. The incidence of infected aneurysms of the aorta and iliac arteries ranges from 0.6% to 1.3%. A recent literature review of the management of MAAs showed that therapeutic strategies are multiple, including open surgical repair (OSR) in the majority of cases, endovascular aortic repair (EVAR), which increased over the last decade, and medical treatment alone for patients unfit for any aortic repair in a very limited part. Following the unfavorable prognosis towards rupture and since the medical treatment alone in mycotic aneurysms has shown mortality of almost 100%, surgical treatment is generally the preferred option. Surgical treatment includes both open and endovascular surgery. The latter is less invasive than conventional surgery but does not involve resection of the infected tissue and is therefore associated with an increased risk of sepsis and prosthesis infection. The gold standard is still open surgery, including extra-anatomic reconstruction and in situ repair, with different type of vascular graft. This is a multicenter retrospective observational study. It will examine all patients undergoing surgical treatment of mycotic aortic-iliac aneurysms and in situ reconstruction at the participating centers.
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.
Rationale: Aortic diameter is currently used as a gold standard in international guidelines for prediction of aorta pathology (aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection). However, aortic diameter has proven to be insufficiently accurate for making decisions about well-timed preventive interventions. The LANDMARC study will take place in line with the FIBAA-bank ('Correlatie tussen cardiovasculaire FIBroseringsgraad en Aorta elongatie, dilatatie en Atria dilatatie (FIBAA-bank): een biobank & databank onderzoek met focus op aorta en atria' (METC-number 2022-3164)), and aims to reveal the undiscovered relationship between WSS (wall shear stress) values and aortic strain. In combination with data from the FIBAA-bank, the LANDMARC study will provide more accurate information for future risk stratification models for cardiovascular pathology (with focus on aortic disease). Objectives: Primary objective: indication of the association between WSS (peak WSS and WSS gradient) (through 4D-flow MR and CT) and aortic strain. Secondary objective: indication of the association between (hemo)dynamic processes within the body (aortic elongation/aortic strain) and (patho-)physiological changes (degree of cardiovascular tissue fibrosis).
