Filter by:Establish a cardiovascular biomarker profile to help screening for congenital heart disease in infants and children as well as use non-invasive cardiac imaging in combination with such profiling to better predict the need for future cardiac interventions such as open heart surgery or cardiac catheter intervention selected types of with congenital heart disease.
This is a proposal, for the first time in Canada, to examine the comparative effectiveness of three commercially available devices (ASO, FSO, and GAO/GSO) for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) in adults using a pilot randomized controlled trial.
The ACHDi Registry study will create a foundational database for adult congenital heart disease interventions. This Pan-Canadian Registry will collect clinical and patient-reported information that will enable the evaluation of care processes and outcomes in five most common ACHDi interventions by enabling prospective and retrospective registry-based studies to answer important clinical practice and policy-relevant questions.
Multi centre, international, post market registry to monitor the clinical performance and safety of an atrial septal closure device with biodegradable framework in patients with clinically significant atrial septum defect (ASD) or patent foramen ovale (PFO) in routine clinical use
Prospective randomized multicenter trial of about 100 subjects enrolled in 3-5 centers. Patients will be randomized to two groups in equal proportion (50 in each). To precise the function of this device on reducing technical difficulties and conquering learning curves, it is required that the doctor should be able to independently do echo-guided percutaneous interventions and his cases should be more than 20 but less than 100. Experimental group is allocated to use novel interventional guidewire for echocardiography guided percutaneous interventions for ASD, control group will be treated by cook lunderquist guidewire. If echo-guided procedure does not work well, the procedure will be immediately replaced by conventional procedure guided by radiology. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety comprehensively, variables are defined as success rate, duration of procedure, times of arrhythmia, times of misguided to tricuspid valve, cardiac perforation, cardiac tamponed, complications in peripheral vessels etc.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Absnow absorbable ASD closure system for treating patients with atrial septal defect.
The purpose of the study is to compare exercise capacity, cardiac contractility, pulmonary vascular pressures and heart rate variability between patients with an atrial septal defect and healthy controls.
The investigators propose to translate confocal microscopy for use during open heart surgery. This tool will help discriminate between various types of tissues in the heart during surgery. One of the most feared complication after heart surgery is heart block. This flexible fiberoptic confocal microscope will help discriminate between the various types of tissues in the heart and thus help avoid injury to the conduction tissue during surgery.
Evaluate the safety and efficacy of the GORE® CARDIOFORM ASD Occluder in the percutaneous closure of ostium secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs)
All patients awaiting to have either a left atrial appendage closure (LAA) or patent foramen ovale (PFO) or Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) closure device as part of standard care will be identified and reviewed in cardiology clinics. These patients will be placed on waiting list to undergo the procedure. Patient-participants will be consented on the date of admission for device closure implantation. The study will recruit 20 patients divided into; 10 patients undergoing PFO/ASD closure and 10 patients undergoing LAA closure. EPC will be measured on the day of the device implantation, day 0 and prior to discharge on day 1. Patient participants are admitted overnight after the device closure implantation. Then on subsequent out patient cardiology research clinic follow appointments on days (3-4) and (7-8).
