Filter by:This study investigates the association between level of suPAR and valvular heart disease in patients who have severe aortic stenosis or severe aortic regurgitation using commercially available suPARnostic standard enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ViroGates, Denmark)
This study aims to identify and assess new CMR techniques that can improve current CMR protocols.
This study will evaluate the safety and performance of the ADAPT 3D - ALR in adult patients requiring replacement of aortic valve. 15 patients in one site in Belgium will all be treated with ADAPT 3D - ALR.
Aortic valve disease counts up to 5% of cases of congenital heart disease being one of the most common congenital malformations of the cardiovascular system. This disease requires replacement of the damaged valve which in itself is not a trivial task to complete in children as there is still no available best practice for valve replacement. Today, the following alternative variants are performed in children: mechanical aortic prosthesis, xenografts, allografts, and pulmonary autograft (Ross procedure) and each has its potential advantages and disadvantages. Mechanical aortic prostheses require lifelong anticoagulation therapy and repeated surgeries to replace mechanical valves during child growth. Available xenografts in children also has suboptimal results not only because of absence of growth potential, but also due to development of degenerative changes in biological tissue of the graft leaflets. Allograft tissues are exposed to rapid biodegradation in the recipient body and thus requiring repeated surgeries associated with higher difficulty, high risk of hemorrhages, and injury of the coronary injuries. Ross procedure was proposed as theoretically the most evidence-based reconstruction of the aortic valve in children. Even successfully performed Ross operation transforms one-valve disorder into two-valve disease. The accumulation of knowledge on the anatomy of the aortic root and improvement of surgical techniques led to the development of new methods for reconstruction of the valve function. The technique is widely applied in adult cardiac surgery, uses glutaraldehyde-treated autopericardium for augmentation of the leaflets. Absence of foreign material provides no need for anticoagulation therapy. Potentially, reconstruction of the aortic valve with autopericardium can be widely used in children. Aim is to study safety, clinical and hemodynamic efficacy of the method of the aortic valve reconstruction with autopericardium in children with aortic valve disease. Patients aged 29 days to 12 years will be included into the study. The data according to the protocol of the study will be assessed at the stage of inclusion, during the surgery, in 30 days after the surgery, and in 1, 2, and 3 years after the surgery. Data about all the patients included into the research will be analyzed in order to study the endpoints and achieve the research aim.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has a high risk and a high mortality rate in the treatment of aortic stenosis/regurgitation patients with cardiac insufficiency. The investigators aim to discuss the clinical efficacy of extracorporeal life support system(ECLS) during TAVR procedure in severe aortic lesion under very low ejection fraction (EF).
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.
The purpose of the study is to compare the various 2D and 3D methods of valvular heart disease quantification (Doppler, PISA, VCA, volumetric method) and strain with cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) measurements of left and right ventricular systolic function strain and myocardial fibrosis assessment.
Following the high feasibility of analyses by core laboratory with videodensitometry determined in the ASSESS-REGURGE Registry, this is an early clinical feasibility study of online videodensitometric assessment of aortograms to quantitate aortic regurgitation (AR) in the cath lab, specifically in the setting of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR)
The primary treatment for patients determined to have severe aortic or mitral regurgitation is surgical repair or replacement their valves. The most commonly used tool to quantify the severity mitral and aortic regurgitation is echocardiography. Studies have shown that echocardiography may have significant limitations in quantifying regurgitant volume. MRI has recently been shown to easily and reproducibly quantify regurgitation. To better understand how to accurately quantify severity of regurgitation the investigators propose this study with the following aims: 1) compare MRI to echocardiography in the evaluation of regurgitant volume in patients with aortic or mitral regurgitation and 2) to assess which technique is better at predicting the response of the left ventricle to valve surgery.
This registry evaluates the long-term outcome of Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in real-world clinical practice.
