Filter by:The Physiological Study of Haemodynamic and Microcirculatory Evolution before/after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement (TAVI) aims to investigate the physiological changes induced by the implantation of a prosthetic aortic valve on blood vessels in patients with severe aortic stenosis. The hypothesis of the study is that adaptive microcirculatory phenomena occur during TAVI implantation. The results of preoperative assessment of microcirculatory functional reserve differ according to whether or not organ dysfunction occurs after TAVI. There is a progressive adaptation of the microcirculation to the new cardiovascular load conditions after TAVI. Early features of this adaptation are associated with the occurrence of short- and medium-term complications.
The study aims to evaluate composition differences of aortic valves in different stages and phenotypes of aortic stenosis using non-invasive imaging and histology.

Valvular function at Immediately postoperative, 7 days/at discharge, 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 2-5 years follow-up: valve stenosis, regurgitation, valve function (e.g., opening area, pressure gradient), paravalvular leakage 7. Improvement in quality of life at 30 days, 6 months, 12 months postoperatively 8. Improvement in cardiac function at 7 days/at discharge, 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, 2-5 years postoperatively Experimental design: This trial is a prospective, multicenter, single-group clinical study with a target value to evaluate the Transcatheter Aortic Valve system Safety and efficacy in the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis with 12 months of All-cause mortality after transcatheter aortic valve implantation. The mortality rate was the primary study endpoint, and after statistical assumptions and sample size calculations, 120 patients were planned to be enrolled. Patients were clinically followed immediately after valve implantation, 7 days postoperatively/at discharge, 30 days, 6 months, 12 months, and 2-5 years postoperatively. In this trial, all relevant clinical data were collected, sorted out and statistically analyzed by an independent data management and statistics center and a clinical monitoring institution. All enrolled subjects underwent outpatient follow-up at 30 days, 6 months, and 12 months after surgery, and performed relevant imaging examinations (ultrasound, etc.) and laboratory tests and safety evaluations, and continuous follow-up and cardiac ultrasound examinations were performed annually at 2-5 years to observe the occurrence of adverse events to evaluate the long-term safety of the transcatheter aortic valve system. The safety and efficacy of the transcatheter aortic valve system were evaluated with the subject's 12-month postoperative all-cause mortality as the primary endpoint, and the immediate postoperative device success rate, procedural success, retrieval system performance, valve function, cardiac function improvement, quality of life improvement, all-cause mortality in different follow-up periods, major adverse cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, myocardial infarction, stroke, hemorrhage, acute kidney injury, permanent pacemaker implantation, serious vascular complications, and other TAVR-related complications were taken as the secondary endpoints to assist in evaluating the safety and efficacy of the test product, and to provide a basis for the final official listing and domestic marketing.
Patient with paradoxical or conventional low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis on echocardiographic assessment will undergo physiological exercise-stress CMR in addition to guideline recommended surveys prior to TAVR.
The dual pathology of aortic stenosis (AS) and cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is increasingly recognized. Even tough efforts have been undertaken to bring cohorts together, the largest cohort of AS-ATTR to date is <50 patients. It is the aim of the present international, multi-center registry to collect ~300 patients with AS-CA creating a big enough cohort to allow 1. thorough characterization of this condition 2. assessment of log-term clinical outcomes of AS-CA 3. assessment of effectiveness of amyloid-specific treatment on top of valve replacement
Background: Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cardiac imaging has previously been shown to provide highly reproducible and accurate results, outperforming clinical experts. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging represents the gold standard for assessment of myocardial structure and function. However, measurements of more sensitive markers of early left (LV) and right ventricular (RV) function, such as global longitudinal shortening (GLS), mitral annular plane systolic excursion (MAPSE), and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), are frequently not performed due to the lack of automated analysis. Objectives: The investigators aim to evaluate whether AI-based measurements of ventricular structure and function convey important prognostic information in patients with severe aortic stenosis (AS) beyond LV and RV ejection fraction (EF) and represent early markers of adverse cardiac remodeling. Materials & Methods: This large-scale international, multi-center, observational study will recruit ~1500 patients with severe AS scheduled for aortic valve replacement (AVR). Patients are invited to undergo CMR imaging prior to AVR and at 12-months post-AVR. An AI-based algorithm, developed in the UK, will be used for fully automated assessment of parameters of cardiac structure (end-diastolic volume, end-systolic volume, LV mass, maximum wall thickness) and function (EF, GLS, MAPSE, TAPSE). Application of the AI-model allows to capture these parameters for large patient cohorts within seconds (as opposed to the current practice of time-consuming manual post-processing). Association of AI-based CMR parameters with clinical outcomes post-AVR will be analyzed. The composite of all-cause mortality and heart failure hospitalization will serve as the primary endpoint. Trajectories of AI-based parameters from pre- to post-AVR will be assessed as a secondary endpoint. Future Outlook: In severe AS, a novel AI-based algorithm allows immediate and precise measurements of ventricular structure and function on CMR imaging. Our goal is to identify early markers of cardiac dysfunction indicating adverse prognosis post-AVR. This has guideline-forming potential as the optimal timepoint for AVR in patients with AS is currently a matter of debate.
This is a pilot randomised control study assessing the feasibility and effectiveness of a perioperative multi-component intervention aimed at reducing adverse hospital events and improving functional outcomes in patients with acute decompensated aortic stenosis undergoing urgent transcatheter aortic valve implantation compared to standard care. The intervention will consist of physical rehabilitation, delirium prevention, nutritional supplementation and anaemia correction (where indicated). The primary objective is to determine the feasibility and safety of delivering this intervention Secondary objectives include investigating the impact on adverse hospital events such as hospital-acquired disability and post-TAVI delirium, and on health-related quality of life and functional recovery following TAVI.
The objective of this study is to demonstrate device feasibility, safety and investigate performance of the EmStop Embolic Protection System when used as indicated in 15 subjects at 2 investigational sites in the U.S.
This multi-center, prospective, cluster-randomized controlled trial will evaluate Mpirik automated notifications as an intervention to support identification and evaluation of patients possibly indicated for Aortic Valve Replacement (AVR). This study will evaluate the impact of Mpirik automated notifications on: (1) AVR utilization (including time to AVR); and (2) multidisciplinary heart team clinic evaluation (including time to evaluation) for patients with definitive or possible severe AS on echocardiogram. These endpoints will also be examined within and between assigned groups according to race, ethnicity, sex, and geography. The primary question that will be answered: Do automated alerts sent to clinical providers decrease under-treatment of severe aortic stenosis? The study will compare the rate of clinical follow-up and aortic valve surgery in a control group (no alerts sent) to a treatment group (alerts sent to an appropriate care provider).
The goal of this phase IV, randomized, controlled and open-label study is to assess the efficacy of peri-procedure glucocorticoid treatment in the prevention of conduction abnormalities and the need for pacemaker implantation in patients undergoing transaortic valve replacement compared to placebo. Participants randomized to the intervention group will receive a single dose of intravenous Methylprednisolone 7 mg/kg/day on the day of the procedure (1 hour before), followed by 15 mg/12 hours of daily Prednisone for 5 days. The primary endpoint is a composite of permanent pacemaker implantation and the occurrence of new conduction abnormalities (any-degree AV block, bundle branch block, or non-specific intraventricular conduction disorder) at discharge, at 30 days and 1 year.
