Filter by:This study is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center feasibility clinical study of the SATURN TA System for the treatment of NYHA Class ≥ II patients with severe functional mitral regurgitation who are not suitable for surgical treatment following Heart Team assessment.
This is a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial design. It was conducted with a main purpose of evaluating the effect of thiamine supplementation on serum lactate and lactate-pyruvate ratio after surgery as direct indicators of tissue perfusion and indirect markers of energy substrate availability for effective mitochondrial function and intubation time as clinical outcome.
In this study the ability of smartphone sensors (accelerometer and gyroscope) to identify patients with heart failure will be studied.
Prospective registry for multifactorial risk factor assessment, enrolling consecutive ischemic stroke/transient ischemic attack patients with structural, inflammatory, or arrhythmogenic cardiac disease, who are admitted to our University Hospital.
Therapeutic catheterizations substituted many traditional surgical procedures with the advance of transcatheter techniques. Pediatric patients are more liable to fluid overload due to their smaller weights compared to adults and the risk increases in pediatrics with congenital heart diseases due to lower tolerability and reserve capacity and some of them may already have a degree of heart failure. Fluid overload increases the incidence of morbidity and mortality in such patients. The aim of our study is to observe the amount of fluids needed for flushing during pediatric cardiac catheterization (in ml/kg) and asses its effect on total lung water and PaO2/FiO2, aiming to develop a useful protocol for the amount of fluids used.
This is a pilot study on feasibility, efficacy and safety of IBS ® for implantation in the PDA in duct-dependent cyanotic CHD, and its objective is to investigate the feasibility, safety and efficacy of iron resorbable stent implantation in the PDA as initial palliation of cyanotic CHD with duct-dependent PBF.
The purpose of the study is to evaluate a peer coaching intervention in young adults with congenital heart disease.
The proposed study will be a prospective, open-label, single-center, safety and feasibility phase 1 trial of allogeneic bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stromal cell (BM-MSC) delivery though cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) using a homogeneous population of infants with congenital heart disease (CHD) who will be undergoing a two-ventricle repair within the first six months of life
The objective of this post-approval study is to confirm that the clinical performance of the Orsiro stent in a real-world setting is similar to the clinical performance observed for Orsiro in the BIOFLOW-V Investigational Device Exemption pivotal trial, as a condition of the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval (P170030).
Nowadays, biomarkers are broadly used in clinical practice. Blood-derived biomarkers fulfil an important role in the field of cardiology. However, most biomarkers have been investigated for adult left ventricular disease. In congenital heart diseases (CHD) and pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), which involves children and mostly the right ventricle, less is known about the clinical and predictive value of blood-derived biomarkers. Since the group of survivors of CHD and PAH is growing because of the improved techniques nowadays, development of better tools to maintain the quality of life for the longer term in these patients is urgently needed. Blood-derived biomarkers are minimally invasive biomarkers, are quantitative and have shown to be able to reveal pathological processes in an early stage. Hence, blood-derived biomarkers may be a good addition to current diagnostic means in CHD and PAH. Objective: The primary objective of this study is to investigate cross-sectionally the association between various emerging blood-derived biomarkers and right ventricular (RV) function:defined as tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) measured with echocardiography, in children with (a history of ) an abnormally loaded, volume and/or pressure loaded, right ventricle associated with CHD and/or PAH.
