Filter by:This is a proposal, for the first time in Canada, to examine the comparative effectiveness of three commercially available devices (ASO, FSO, and GAO/GSO) for transcatheter closure of atrial septal defects (ASD) in adults using a pilot randomized controlled trial.
The ACHDi Registry study will create a foundational database for adult congenital heart disease interventions. This Pan-Canadian Registry will collect clinical and patient-reported information that will enable the evaluation of care processes and outcomes in five most common ACHDi interventions by enabling prospective and retrospective registry-based studies to answer important clinical practice and policy-relevant questions.
Multi centre, international, post market registry to monitor the clinical performance and safety of an atrial septal closure device with biodegradable framework in patients with clinically significant atrial septum defect (ASD) or patent foramen ovale (PFO) in routine clinical use
Prospective randomized multicenter trial of about 100 subjects enrolled in 3-5 centers. Patients will be randomized to two groups in equal proportion (50 in each). To precise the function of this device on reducing technical difficulties and conquering learning curves, it is required that the doctor should be able to independently do echo-guided percutaneous interventions and his cases should be more than 20 but less than 100. Experimental group is allocated to use novel interventional guidewire for echocardiography guided percutaneous interventions for ASD, control group will be treated by cook lunderquist guidewire. If echo-guided procedure does not work well, the procedure will be immediately replaced by conventional procedure guided by radiology. To evaluate the effectiveness and safety comprehensively, variables are defined as success rate, duration of procedure, times of arrhythmia, times of misguided to tricuspid valve, cardiac perforation, cardiac tamponed, complications in peripheral vessels etc.
The effect of Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) closure by using larger devices on the improvement in biventricular function remains an area of active research. Therefore, the aim of the current study is to assess the degree of improvement in biventricular dimensions and function by using 2-Dimensional echocardiography derived Strain and Strain Rate and Tissue Doppler. Moreover, to identify the relationship between the left and right ventricular systolic and diastolic function and device size.
Atrial Septal Defect (ASD) is a common cardiac diagnosis among adults.Three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography (3D-TEE) improve the visualization of ASD, its rims and surrounding structures and can be used for guidance during percutaneous transcatheter closure. Proper device size selection is important for success of ASD device closure. 3D-TEE can assess the ASD morphology, maximal diameter, area and determine the device size without balloon sizing during percutaneous closure.There are some adverse outcomes reported in previous studies following transcatheter secundum ASD closure as: residual shunt, new onset atrial fibrillation(AF) and mitral regurgitation(MR)deterioration . These adverse outcomes are responsible for morbidity and mortality following transcatheter ASD closure, so it is essential to study risk factors associated with these adverse outcomes in order to minimize their incidence.The investigators will study the role of 3D-TEE in proper device size selection, also the percentage and predictors of adverse outcomes after device closure guided by 3D-TEE.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Absnow absorbable ASD closure system for treating patients with atrial septal defect.
The purpose of the study is to compare exercise capacity, cardiac contractility, pulmonary vascular pressures and heart rate variability between patients with an atrial septal defect and healthy controls.
The purpose of the STITCH study is to evaluate closure rates of clinically relevant septal defects, including patent foramen ovale (PFO), Atrial Septal Defects (ASD - less than 1 cm with redundant septal tissue), trans septal puncture sites, repair of Atrial Septal Aneurysm (ASA) and rate of recurrent neurologic embolic events in patients with cryptogenic stroke and PFO.
The investigators propose to translate confocal microscopy for use during open heart surgery. This tool will help discriminate between various types of tissues in the heart during surgery. One of the most feared complication after heart surgery is heart block. This flexible fiberoptic confocal microscope will help discriminate between the various types of tissues in the heart and thus help avoid injury to the conduction tissue during surgery.
