NCT ID: NCT05405790 Active, not recruiting - Aortic Dissection Clinical Trials

Antibiotic Prophylaxis for TEVAR

Start date: January 1, 2022
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The infection rate of thoracic endovascular aortic repair (TEVAR) is unknown due to a lack of epidemiological data. The rate currently available comes from researches conducted decades ago, when open surgery was the standard of care. Because of the potentially fatal consequences of a stent graft infection in the thoracic aorta, the investigators tend to prescribe antibiotic prophylaxis for at least three days. In this study, the investigators are going to collect data on patients receiving TEVAR in the past five years and provide the following information: a. the infection rate (MAGIC classification), b. the rate of fever, c. the results of the lab tests, such as the WBC count and C-reaction protein. d. risk factors associated with infection and fever.

NCT ID: NCT04655248 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Aortic Valve Stenosis

ACURATE neo2™ Post Market Clinical Follow up Study

Start date: December 16, 2020
Phase:
Study type: Observational

The ACURATE Neo2 PMCF is aimed at collecting clinical and device performance outcomes data with the ACURATE neo2™ Transfemoral Aortic Valve System as used in routine clinical practice for the treatment of severe calcific aortic stenosis.

NCT ID: NCT03861741 Active, not recruiting - Genetic Disease Clinical Trials

A Study to Evaluate the Feasibility of Screening Relatives of Patients Affected by Non-Syndromic Thoracic Aortic Diseases

ReST
Start date: March 1, 2019
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The primary hypothesis is that a tailored programme of genetic and imaging screening of first- and second-degree relatives of patients affected by non-syndromic forms of thoracic aortic diseases will identify individuals at risk of death from these conditions. These individuals would constitute specific population of patients, requiring dedicated imaging surveillance and/or earlier prophylactic aortic surgery.

NCT ID: NCT02266342 Active, not recruiting - Aortic Diseases Clinical Trials

GORE® TAG® Thoracic Endoprosthesis French Mandatory Registry

Start date: October 2014
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

This is a French Registry mandated by the French National Health Authority assessing long-term (5-years) safety of the GORE® TAG® Thoracic Endoprosthesis treating diseases of the thoracic aorta.

NCT ID: NCT01980797 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Bicuspid Aortic Valve Disease

International Bicuspid Aortic Valve Consortium (BAVCon)

BAVCon
Start date: November 2013
Phase:
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

Bicuspid aortic valve (BAV) disease is the most frequent congenital cardiac malformation, occurring in 0.5-1.2% of the US population. In young adults, it is generally a benign abnormality; but in older adults it is associated with thoracic aortic aneurysm or dissection in 20-30% of those with BAV. BAV is strongly associated with early development of aortic valve calcification or incompetence in >50% of BAV patients, and accounts for ~40% of the >30,000 aortic valve replacements (AVR) performed in the US each year. Yet, we know little of the etiology, cellular events and modifiers of progression of BAV to calcific aortic valve disease and we still do not understand the genetic cause(s) of BAV despite evidence for its high heritability. The Specific Aims of this study are: 1. To identify the genetic causes of bicuspid aortic valve disease and its associated thoracic aortic disease. 2. To identify potential pathways to predict the clinical course of BAV disease and for treating human BAV disease. To achieve these aims, we have created the International Bicuspid Aortic Valve Consortium (BAVCon), a consortium of institutions with cohorts of BAV patients and the expertise to fulfill the performance of these aims.

NCT ID: NCT01450501 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Aortic Aneurysm, Abdominal

Chronic Q-fever in Patients With an Abdominal Aortic Disease (QAAD-study)

QAAD
Start date: March 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

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.

NCT ID: NCT00546312 Active, not recruiting - Clinical trials for Descending Thoracic Aortic Disease

Clinical Study of Thoracic Excluder Endoprosthesis to Treat Descending Thoracic Aortic Diseases

Gore Thoracic
Start date: February 2000
Phase: N/A
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of endovascular repair, using the Thoracic EXCLUDER Endoprosthesis, when used in the treatment of descending thoracic aortic disease as indicated by radiological testing at time of discharge, and 1, 6, 12 months and annually following implantation, and to determine the proportion of patients who experience adverse events during and after the implantation procedure, including disease-specific and overall mortality rates.
