Filter by:The proposed study will investigate the effect of sodium bicarbonate on the prevention of acute kidney injury in children undergoing cardiac surgery with cardio-pulmonary bypass. The investigators hypothesize that the occurrence of acute kidney injury will be less in children treated with sodium bicarbonate in the perioperative period when compared to placebo. The specific aims of this proposal are as follows: 1. To institute a prospective, randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial in pediatric subjects undergoing cardiac surgery to determine the efficacy of sodium bicarbonate on prevention of acute kidney injury as measured by pRIFLE criteria. 2. To examine whether treatment with sodium bicarbonate modifies the duration of acute kidney injury, fluid balance, hospital length of stay, need for dialysis, and progression to kidney failure. 3. To determine the relevance of NGAL as a biomarker to predict development of acute kidney injury.
Post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality after a cardiac surgery. Both systemic inflammation and oxidative stress play a role in the initiation of POAF after a cardiac surgery. Epidemiological studies show a significant inverse correlation between cardiovascular risk and consumption of polyphenol-rich foods (PRFs), due to antioxidant, vasorelaxant and antithrombotic properties of their polyphenolic components. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the effect of polyphenol-rich food supplementation on post-operative atrial fibrillation (POAF) in patients undergoing an open heart surgery (mainly coronary artery bypass grafts (CABG) and valve replacement or repaired (VR))
Objectives : To compare the efficacy and safety of clopidogrel monotherapy with aspirin monotherapy in patients who received dual or triple antiplatelet therapy for 1 year (± 6 months) after drug-eluting stent implantation for coronary artery disease Patient Enrollment : 5530 patients enrolled at 55 centers in Korea Patient Follow-up : Clinical follow-up will occur at 1, 12 and 24 months. Primary Endpoint : Composite endpoint of MACE and major bleeding Secondary Endpoint : Device-oriented composite outcome including TLR (target lesion revascularization), TVR (target vessel revascularization), stent thrombosis, and minor GI (gastrointestinal) complications
The purpose of this study protocol is to determine if administering Intravenous Immunoglobulin (IVIG) for treatment of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) induced hypogammaglobulinemia in the early post-operative period can impact post-surgical outcomes (i.e., infection, fluid overload, and associated morbidities).
The purpose of this study is to examine the validation of the PiCCO (Pulse Contour Cardiac Output)-derived transpulmonary thermodilution technology in patients with heart diseases.
To describe mortality among children with congenital heart defects in Norway
Prospective, longitudinal, open-label, multicentre, observational, non-comparative national study using an exhaustive registry of implantations over a given period. This study is requested by French Health Authorities for reimbursement renewal, to maintain reimbursement for pulmonary valvular replacement by bioprothesis in approved indication in France.
Clinical trial phase III, prospective, controlled, randomized, open. We hypothesize work that patients with chronic coronary occlusion and poor myocardial viability who failed to recover ventricular function after subjecting coronary revascularization with new techniques of recanalization, could achieve an improvement of ventricular function if given further regenerative treatment with mononuclear cells from autologous bone marrow. To test this hypothesis we designed a prospective, randomized clinical trial in patients with recanalized chronic occlusions and ventricular dysfunction.
Clinical study that aims to evaluate a new strategy using the SYNTAX II Score calculator in the functional assessment of patients with new coronary 3-vessel-disease who undergo percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI)
The investigators are presently using Exparel, a slow released local anesthestic, in patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery. The primary objective of this study is to assess the efficacy of EXPAREL when delivered into the thoracotomy and chest tube sites to provide prolonged postoperative analgesia in patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac surgery. Efficacy will be assessed by: the effectiveness of analgesia as measured by the subject's overall postoperative pain scores and postsurgical analgesic use.
