Filter by:The percutaneous MANTA Vascular Closure Device is dedicated to the closure of large bore arteriotomies. It appears to be a safe and doable option for vascular access closure in patients undergoing transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation. Data concerning safety and efficacy of MANTA Vascular Closure Device in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery are scarce. This study aim to assess this novel collagen-based technology in minimal invasive aortic valve replacement surgery.
The objective of this study is to investigate safety and performance of the Free Margin Cusp sizer. The device will be used during aortic valve repair and sparing procedures as a caliper to measure the aortic valve free margin length at different stages of the procedure. The patient will be followed for one year clinically (at 1, 2, 6 and 12 months) and by echocardiography (at 6 and 12 months) to assess aortic valve function.
The hypothesis is that TAVI using a SAPIEN 3 THV is feasible and safe for the treatment of pure AR.
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)
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is recommended for patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) at high to intermediate surgical risk. Despite similar mortality rates compared to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) in this setting, the rate para-valvular leak (PVL) remains higher and has been associated to higher mortality even at mild degree. This is one of the major concerns to extend TAVI to low surgical risk, although the favorable results from PARTNER 3. The presence of moderate to severe PVL after TAVI is associated to a 2- and 3- fold increase in the mortality rate at 30-day and 1-year follow-up, respectively (24-29). Prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) adversely affects functional improvement and exercise tolerance, left ventricular (LV) mass regression, and late structural valve deterioration. Many studies have previously investigated PPM after surgical AVR suggesting the presence of this problem in more than 40% of the surgically treated patients. This rate was significantly lower with the balloon-expandable Sapien (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California), with PPM that varied from 8% to 18%, but in both cases (patients harboring TAVI and those with SAVR) the mortality rate was higher in the presence of PPM. Under the hypothesis that there are differences in terms of transvalvular gradients and residual para-valvular leak amongst different balloon-expandable TAVI devices available in the market, the aim of the MATCH-BALL study is to compare the hemodynamic performance of two balloon-expandable TAVI devices, Sapien 3 (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) and Myval (Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., India).
The Paradigm study is a prospective, multicenter, single arm study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Amplatzer Valvular Plug III (AVP III) as a treatment for clinically significant PVLs following surgical implant of a mechanical or biological heart valve implanted in the aortic or mitral position.
This is a prospective single center Cardiology department observational study. The study aim is to better understand the predictors of high grade conduction abnormalities associated with TAVR such that a more robust evidence-based and universal strategy to manage cardiac conduction disturbances in these patients, which has been elusive, can be developed.
This study aims to identify and assess new CMR techniques that can improve current CMR protocols.
To collect information about treatment for symptomatic severe Aortic Regurgitation (AR), which affects the aortic valve in the heart. Aortic regurgitation is a condition where aortic valve in the heart does not close tightly and allows some blood to leak back into the heart chamber. Symptoms of aortic regurgitation may include fatigue and shortness of breath. The preferred treatment for severe aortic regurgitation is aortic valve replacement surgery.
This study intends to reinforce the current clinical information regarding safety and efficacy of the Dokimos Plus aortic valve prosthesis in patients in whom an aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis has been indicated.
