Filter by:This study evaluates the long-term anticoagulation with oral factor Xa inhibitor versus vitamin K antagonist in patients receiving a mechanical aortic valve replacement.
This randomized controlled trial was designed to analyze flow patterns in the ascending aorta with MRI after either Trileaflet reconstruction of the aortic valve with autologous pericardium (TriRec) or surgical valve replacement with biological prosthesis. The hypothesis is that after TriRec procedure more physiological flow patterns will be observed, compared to biological valve prosthesis.
This study aims to identify the molecular genetic causes of the variability in development of calcific aortic valve disease in bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves and their associated aortic dilation.
Currently, warfarin is the only approved anticoagulation for patients with mechanical valves. The purpose of this study is to determine if participants with an On-X Prosthetic Heart Valve / On-X aortic valve can be maintained safely and effectively on apixaban. Both the On-X aortic valve and apixaban have been approved for use by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) but they have not been approved to be used together.
This study aims at studying the frequency of late stroke after transcatheter aortic valve replacement/implantation
18F-GP1 binds with high affinity to the glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptors on activated platelets. 18F-GP1 PET-CT has recently demonstrated favourable safety, pharmacokinetic, biodistribution and diagnostic performance for the in vivo identification of venous and arterial thrombemboli.
This study will evaluate the efficacy and safety of DA-1229 in patients with calcific aortic valve disease.
Avicena is developing new non-invasive methods (hardware and software) for diagnosis of a variety of heart conditions. This study is designed to compare data obtained using Avicena's device, the Vivio, to data obtained from transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) for the diagnosis of moderate-to-severe aortic stenosis. Aortic stenosis (AS) is a disease of the valve (aortic valve) that separates the left ventricle of the heart from the aorta. When AS is severe, the heart cannot pump adequate amounts of blood into the arterial tree. AS is often silent until the disease is severe. This study compares a rapid test using Vivio to a longer and more expensive test that is the current gold standard for diagnosis of AS, TTE.
This is a multicenter, prospective, randomized, blinded, controlled clinical study in patients with planned primary valvular surgery and comorbid coronary artery lesions with diameter stenosis of ≥ 50%, to compare the effectiveness of an Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR)-guided revascularization strategy and a coronary angiography (CAG)-guided revascularization strategy in preventing the incidence of composite outcome (MACE-5, including all-cause death, myocardial infarction, stroke, unplanned coronary revascularization, and new renal failure requiring dialysis) within 30 days after surgery. The study hypothesis is that the QFR-guided strategy can reduce the incidence of the MACE-5 within 30 days after surgery, as compared with the CAG-guided strategy.
Surgical valve replacement is commonly performed in patients with severe aortic valve disease. In small aortic annulus, implantation of bioprosthetic valves can be associated with limited functional capacity. To avoid this condition, we changed our surgical technique to implant a larger bioprosthesis. Briefly, the prosthesis is sutured to the aortic annulus along the left and right coronary sinuses, and in a supraannular position along the noncoronary sinus, therefore allowing us to insert a prosthetic valve with a one-size larger diameter than the native aortic annulus.
