Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the J-Valve Transfemoral (TF) System in patients with symptomatic, severe (grade 3 or 4), native aortic valve regurgitation (AR) and AR-dominant mixed aortic valve disease, who are judged by a multi-disciplinary heart team to be at high risk for open surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).
The purpose of this multicenter, prospective and observational registry is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of TAVR for treatment of pure severe aortic valve regurgitation. Baseline characteristics, procedural and clinical data will be collected
Collect data on the safety and clinical performance of the Braile Biomédica® Bovine Pericardium Valvular Bioprosthesis
The Perceval sutureless aortic bioprosthesis is a bovine pericardium valve mounted in a nitinol stent that can be compressed and positioned in a valve delivery system. Similarly, to transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) devices, the anchoring and good sealing of the Perceval bioprosthesis relies on oversizing by design of the nitinol stent compared with the native aortic annulus. With the advent of TAVI, cardiac computed tomography (CT) has become the gold standard technique for measuring the aortic annulus in patients undergoing transcatheter procedures, and the CT-derived axial image of the aortic virtual basal ring (VBR) is considered as the reference for sizing by most of the manufacturers of transcatheter valves . Interestingly, the VBR lies exactly on the plane passing through the nadir of the 3 aortic cusps, that is where, according to the instructions for use, a correctly positioned Perceval valve should be deployed. VBR could then provide a good estimate of the annular dimension for the Perceval pre-operative sizing.
To collect information about the management of symptomatic severe Aortic Stenosis (AS) and Aortic Regurgitation (AR) using transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVI).
Data on valve performance following ViV-TAVR has usually been obtained with the use of Doppler-echocardiography. However, some reports have shown significant discordances in the evaluation of mean transvalvular gradient between echocardiography and catheterization, with an overestimation of the real gradient with echo (vs. cath) in most cases. Thus, the incidence of procedural-device failure may be lower than that reported in the ViV-TAVR literature,
The optimal timing of surgical intervention in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic regurgitation remains controversial. As per cardiac magnetic resonance assessment, early surgical treatment will be compared with conventional guideline-based strategy in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic regurgitation.
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.
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).
This study aims to identify and assess new CMR techniques that can improve current CMR protocols.
