Filter by:Despite improvements in available techniques and prostheses, the long-term evolution of patients after transcatheter paravalvular leak closure remains poorly understood. The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcome of patients after transcatheter paravalvular leak closure and to identify factors predictive of survival. The investigators designed a retrospective multicentre observational registry entitled FFPP (e.g. "Fermeture des Fuites Para-Prothétiques" in French). Seventeen centres from France, Poland, Turkey and Belgium enrolled retrospectively at least one PVLc procedure on aortic, mitral, tricuspid or pulmonary valves without limit in its delay of performance.Follow-up of at least one year was expected
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the ControlRad system device when installed in Fluoroscopic (x-ray) machine reduces radiation dose to operators (Doctors and nurses) and to the patient who is undergoing cardiac Catheterization and electrophysiology (EP) implant procedures.
This study hypothesizes that Sugammadex may has more appropriate recovery profile than neostigmine in pediatric cardiac patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. In pediatric cardiac patients, clear and rapid recovery (fast-tracking) is required to maintain hemodynamic within the normal physiological values which may be saved by sugammadex
The purpose of the study is to compare different short durations of radial clamp application following an angiogram via a trans-radial approach.
This study will use contrast echocardiography to assess the accuracy of a new non-invasive imaging method for subharmonic aided pressure estimation (SHAPE) compared to simultaneously acquired intra-cardiac pressures measured invasively during cardiac catheterization. This study is designed to verify that contrast echocardiography using the SHAPE method, already proven in a canine model and tested in a human pilot study can be used as a surrogate for cardiac catheterization with sufficient accuracy to allow clinical applicability in humans.
The fundamental hypothesis of this project is that real-time intracardiac pressures can be monitored and quantified noninvasively in humans using a novel contrast-enhanced ultrasound technique called subharmonic-aided pressure estimation (SHAPE).This study will use contrast echocardiography to assess the accuracy of SHAPE compared to simultaneously acquired intracardiac pressures measured invasively during cardiac catheterization. This study is designed to verify that contrast echocardiography using the SHAPE method, already proven in a canine model and tested in a human pilot study can be used as a surrogate for cardiac catheterization with sufficient accuracy to allow clinical applicability in humans.
Design: Observational - Cross study with followed up for 30 days. The Primary Objective is to realize a record that reflects a national overview of the role of cardiac catheterization in patients with congenital heart disease in hospitals distributed by geographic density of each region of Brazil.
Retinal emboli is a common phenomenon in cardiac catheterization. In this study the investigators evaluate the incidence of retinal emboli post diagnostic and therapeutic cardiac catheterization over 300 patients. The incidence was 6.3% and had no clinical sequel on visual acuity and visual field.
The aim of the study is to facilitate radial artery access for cardiac catheterization. The investigators hypothesize that topical nitroglycerin and lidocaine will reduce radial artery spasm. Patients undergoing cardiac catheterization via the radial artery will be randomized to topical nitroglycerin + lidocaine versus placebo.
This study is designed to evaluate the routine use of vascular ultrasound as an aid for proper placement of a femoral arterial sheath during cardiac catheterization and peripheral arterial angiography.
