Filter by:Calcific aortic stenosis (CAS) is a disease characterized by progressive calcification of the aortic valve, obstructing the passage of blood from the left ventricle into the general circulation. It is the most frequent cause of valve disease in the elderly. To date, no means of preventing the disease has been discovered, and the only treatment available is valve replacement during cardiac surgery, or percutaneous implantation of a valve prosthesis when the narrowing becomes severe and causes symptoms. The intestinal flora or microbiota, the reservoir of all the microorganisms in the gut, is implicated in numerous diseases, particularly of the intestine. But to date, no study has established a link between CAS and microbiota. The intestinal microbiota acts through molecules produced by itself or the host and passing into the bloodstream. In the pathophysiology of CAS, the valve leaflets are breached and do not heal. These molecules can enter and have beneficial or deleterious effects, in particular promoting calcification of aortic valve cells. Concrete objectives: Improve understanding of calcific aortic stenosis in humans Study the composition of intestinal flora in patients with aortic stenosis and compare it with healthy subjects Study the molecules in the intestinal flora likely to be involved in the development of aortic stenosis in humans.
The impact of aortoiliac stenosis on kidney transplant patients remains unclear. This study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of kidney transplantation in patients with aortoiliac stenosis.
ATTR-cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is present in 4% to 16% of elderly patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis (AS). The reasons for this association are not fully known. It is hypothesized that an amyloidotic infiltration of the aortic valve acts as a trigger for the development of endothelial damage and subsequent calcification. Elderly patients undergoing TAVI will be evaluated for the presence of ATTR-CA in Jordan.
The purpose is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and performance of Venus-Vitae Transcatheter Heart Valve System in patients with severe aortic stenosis.
To evaluate the preliminary efficacy of combination of cutting and drug-coated balloon for the treatment of resistant AVF stenosis.
This study is a multi-center, prospective, registry study. This research was supported by the National Key Research and Development Program. To establish a domestic multi-center, large-scale "brain-heart comorbidity" dynamic database platform including clinical, sample database, image and other multi-dimensional information requirements, through the construction of a multi-center intelligent scientific research integration platform based on artificial intelligence. Any of newly diagnosed cardiovascular related diseases were identified via ICD-10-CM codes: I21, I22, I24 (Ischaemic heart diseases) [i.e., ACS], I46 (cardiac arrest), I48 (Atrial fibrillation/flutter), I50 (Heart failure), I71 (Aortic disease), I60 (subarachnoid hemorrhage), I61 (intracerebral hemorrhage), I63 (Cerebral infarction), I65 (Occlusion and stenosis of precerebral arteries), I66 (Occlusion and stenosis of cerebral arteries), I67.1 (cerebral aneurysm), I67.5 (moyamoya diseases), Q28.2 (Arteriovenous malformation of cerebral vessels). The data is stored on the brain-heart comorbidity warehouse via a physical server at the institution's data centre or a virtual hosted appliance. The brain-heart comorbidity platform comprises of a series of these appliances connected into a multicenter network. This network can broadcast queries to each appliance. Results are subsequently collected and aggregated. Once the data is sent to the network, it is mapped to a standard and controlled set of clinical terminologies and undergoes a data quality assessment including 'data cleaning' that rejects records which do not meet the brain-heart comorbidity quality standards. The brain-heart comorbidity warehouse performs internal and extensive data quality assessment with every refresh based on conformance, completeness, and plausibility (http://10.100.101.65:30080/login).
In the symptomatic ischemic stroke, the decision-making of medical treatment plus intracranial stenting has been more and more popular, especially in patients with intracranial large severe stenosis or occlusive artery. Nonetheless, there were few evidences about times of intracranial stenting which compared beyond 7 days from acute ischemic stroke with the progressive ischemic stroke time. The purpose of this study was to compared the adverse events during 1-year follow-up of these two groups.
The objective of ENVISION is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Navitor Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) System for treating patients with symptomatic, severe native aortic stenosis who are considered intermediate or low risk for surgical mortality.
Carotid endarterectomy (CEA) is a well-established procedure for preventing ischemic brain damage. Stenosis of the precerebral vessels are often combined with arterial hypertension. In recent decades, many works have appeared that indicate that the course of arterial hypertension (AH) changes after CEA. However, it remains unknown how this is related to the choice of surgical tactics.
The objective of the TOmAS Biobank is the conservation of biological material (plasma, saliva, and tissue explanted during surgery), genetic material (DNA, RNA, etc.), and clinical data ("material/data") collected from patients with cardiovascular diseases (CVD) as well as from control participants, in order to allow future studies evaluating novel proteomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic markers (as well as other emerging -omic technologies) for CVD (i.e. aortic stenosis, cardiomyopathy, myorcardial infarction, etc). The study of physiological and genetic factors will allow for the discovery of new genomic and other -omic (including proteomic, transcriptomic and epigenomic) biomarkers associated with CVD which will lead to an improved understanding of the underlying biology of CVD and may provide future insights into the prevention and treatment of this type of disease.
