Filter by:An atrial septal defect (ASD) is a hole in the heart that can lead to heart failure. Depending on the size and severity of the ASD, They can be treated during a heart catheterization with a special device that can permanently seal the ASD, but knowing the exact size and severity of the ASD is crucial. Newer MRI techniques may provide a better way at diagnosing the size and severity of an ASD. We compared MRI to other standard clinical ways for evaluating an ASD.
The purpose of this study is to examine the pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics, and pharmacogenomics of dexmedetomidine in the following three pediatric patient populations: patients with bi-directional cavopulmonary anastomosis or a Fontan procedure, patients who have had a cardiac transplant, and patients with otherwise normal physiology who are undergoing closure of a patent ductus arteriosis or atrial septal defect.
Evidence has shown poor outcome for adult patients with pre-operative pulmonary hypertension following closure of an atrial septal defect. Life-threatening pulmonary hypertensive crises may occur in these patients when they no longer have an atrial communication to decompress high right heart pressures. This concern has led some to advocate fenestrated patch closure of ASDs in patients with pulmonary hypertension with the prospect of a repeated procedure in order to close the fenestrations at a later date.
Prospective mono-center clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an intracardiac septal closure device in patients with atrial septum defect (ASD)
This is a prospective multicenter clinical study to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of an intracardiac septal closure device in patients with atrial septum defect (ASD) and patent foramen ovale (PFO).
To identify genes involved in the pathogenesis of three types of congenital heart disease, atrial septal defects, paramembranous ventricular septal defects, and atrioventricular canal defects.
To identify genes involved in the pathogenesis of congenital heart disease, including atrial septal defects (ASDs), paramembranous ventricular septal defects (VSDs), and atrioventricular canal defects (AVCDs).
To create a registry of all Oregon children undergoing surgical repair of congenital heart disease since 1958 in order to determine mortality, morbidity, and disability after surgery and to assess the safety of pregnancy in women with corrected congenital heart disease and the risk of prematurity and occurrence of congenital heart defects in offspring.
