Filter by:The study is a voluntary study, initiated by B. Braun to collect clinical data for Optilene® suture concerning its key indication.
Prospective, multi-center, post-market, non-randomized, nested-control, observational study of the CE marked CardioKinetix Parachute Implant System.
1. Compare physical activity and cognitive functions between children having cardiac surgery with an age-matched group of children undergoing non-cardiac surgery, as well as otherwise healthy siblings or best buddies (or age and gender-matched children if no siblings or best buddies available) before surgery and after surgery or six months following initial assessment. 2. Determine the effects of a structured physical activity program for 6 months following surgery on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior in children following congenital cardiac surgery. 3. Determine the effects of a structured physical activity program for 12 months following surgery on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior in children following congenital cardiac surgery. 4. We will perform exploratory analysis to determine whether any effects of a 12-months structured physical activity program on cognitive functions and adaptive behavior persist beyond 12 months after cessation of the program.
The investigators would like to evaluate how well intensive care trainees without previous experience in transesophageal echocardiography are able to perform a transesophageal echocardiography study in the clinical setting after completing a simulator based training compared to conventional training.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether daily oral supplements of vitamin B complex along with folic acid or supplements of iron plus folic acid given to women during peri-conception can reduce the risk of congenital heart disease when compared with folic acid alone.
There are many patients hospitalized for chest pain, which don't have high risk features that require invasive coronary angiography, but are considered intermediate risk and for which ischemic heart disease can not be excluded. The current management for these patients is to perform a non invasive test in order to classify their risk. Exercise ergometry is a commonly used non invasive test to detect ischemia. that test is non-invasive, and does not involve radiation or intra-venous contrast. The test is limited for many patients, because of un-ability to exercise, or because of non-interpetable Electro Cardio-Graphy (ECG). Heart rate variability is well known to be a marker of ischemic heart disease. Heart rate variability testing is a non-invasive ECG monitoring technique. The study design is to identify hospitalized patients who are candidates for non-invasive stress testing, and to monitor their heart rate variability for one hour prior to the stress test.
1. Explore the efficacy of Ulinastatin use in improving post-operative pulmonary insufficiency and safety in pediatric patients undergoing scheduled CPB open heart surgery to treat Complex Congenital Heart Disease 2. Explore the efficacy of Ulinastatin use in improving intraoperative hemodynamic instability as well as other post-operative organ recuperation and its impact on hospital stay & cost
This study was designed to evaluate the correlation between pre-operative FFR and the functionality of arterial bypass grafts six months after coronary artery bypass grafting. Patients with multi-vessel coronary artery disease will undergo both a coronary angiogram and FFR during their diagnostic workup. All patients will be referred for surgical revascularization (CABG) with planned use of arterial grafts. Six months after surgery, patients will undergo an angiogram to assess the functionality of the bypass graft and anastomosis.
Clinical study on patients with turbid phlegm and blood stasis syndrome and Qi -Yin Deficiency syndrome of coronary artery disease (CHD) compared with normal cases will be launched. Detection of lipid metabolism, inflammation medium, endothelial cell injury, blood coagulation function evaluation of the relationship between disease and biochemical basis, detect plasma metabonomics and the gene expression profile chip, with "phlegm - lipid metabolic disorder", "stasis - microcirculation disorder", "alternating knot - inflammation mediated" and other system related to the biological basis. With Danlou Tablet for treatment, the investigators can observe result/effect index of turbid phlegm and blood stasis syndrome. Through comprehensive comparison of multi-level, multi-targets and multi-date biological index to discuss its sickness-syndrome-prescription corresponding relation and its biological basis.
