Filter by:To evaluate the feasibility of performing a randomized pilot control trial of two diagnostic screening strategies for necrotizing enterocolitis in patients with congenital heart disease. Measures to evaluate will be the ability to obtain consent from patients, percentage of eligible patients that are able to be recruited, coordination of providers, estimation of degree of crossover and ability to perform the screening exams per protocol.
The objective of this prospective, randomized, blinded clinical trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Carillon Mitral Contour System in treating heart failure with functional regurgitation (FMR).
The purpose of this research study is to test if a commonly used, FDA-approved medication, called metoprolol, given at the conclusion of anesthesia following surgery, and during postoperative admission, reduces the possibility of heart related complications in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
An adequate nutritional support after a cardiac surgery enhances the morbidity and mortality. After a cardiac surgery, the energy expenditure is estimated to be around 55 kcal/kg/d. The caloric intake is not the only important nutritional variable in PICU. The protein intake objective is around 1,5g/kg/d in order to reduce muscular catabolism. The aim of this study is to compare the impact of an isocaloric enteral diet, either fortified by milk concentration (in order to increase the protein intake) or by a supplement of maltodextrin and oil in children from 0 to 2 years, after surgery for congenital heart disease.
A pilot study investigating the safety and feasibility of chronic maternal hyperoxygenation in the setting of fetal congenital heart disease
The primary aim of this study is to examine if long-term patterns of alcohol consumption are associated with time-to-onset for incident coronary heart disease (fatal and non-fatal), using data from multiple cohorts.
To demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards Alterra Adaptive Prestent in conjunction with the Edwards SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) System in subjects with a dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract/pulmonary valve (RVOT/PV) who are indicated for treatment of pulmonary regurgitation (PR). Following completion of enrollment, subjects will be eligible for enrollment in the continued access phase of the trial.
This study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of 4D image acquisition and post-processing with Vios Works for the evaluation of 3D images acquired on GE Magnetic Resonance Imaging scanners. Specifically, the investigators propose to evaluate the following: 1. Image acquisition time using traditional 2D and new 4D processing techniques; 2. Image quality for 2D and 4D processing techniques subjectively 3. Post-processing time for the two techniques. 4. Correlation of overall Left ventricular and right ventricular volumes and functions and aortic and pulmonic flow studies using the two techniques. 5. The study will monitor any changes in patient diagnoses or treatment resulting from any differences in interpretations between the two processes.
The TUXEDO-India is a prospective, single blind, multi-center randomized clinical trial to assess the TAXUS Element™ in a consecutive population of diabetic patients with coronary artery disease undergoing coronary revascularization. Approximately 1,830 patients with single or multi lesion, multi vessel coronary artery or saphenous vein graft disease ranging in vessels ranging from 2.25 mm to 4.0 mm in diameter by visual estimate will be enrolled in a 1:1 randomization to TAXUS Element™ vs. XIENCE™ Prime in India at up to 50 clinical sites, to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of TAXUS Element™ in an unrestricted population. Procedural Endpoints: - Device success, defined as attainment of < 30% residual stenosis of the target lesion (visual assessment) using the TAXUS Element™ or XIENCE™ Prime stent. - Lesion success defined as attainment of < 30% residual stenosis (visual assessment) using any percutaneous method. - Procedure success defined as lesion success without the occurrence of in-hospital MACE. - Procedure complication rate including composite and individual angiographic occurrence of dissection ≥B, distal embolization, no reflow, slow flow, abrupt closure, or perforation.
The objective of this study is to improve the diagnosis level of fetal congenital heart disease by the multi-center collaboration in China.
