Filter by:The foramen ovale is an opening in the interatrial septum. It results from an incomplete coverage of the ostium secundum. In 10 to 24% of the general population incomplete fibrosis of the interatrial septum is a clinical finding and is defined as a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The Nit-Occlud® PFO umbrella is a permanent implant for closing PFOs that is implanted in the PFO using minimally invasive catheter technology. The umbrella is made from Nitinol, a material with superelastic properties, which, in its relaxed state, has the form of a double umbrella. This is a single-center, non-comparative, prospective interventional clinical investigation involving 1 center in Germany to assess the effectiveness, safety and practicability of implantation of the Nit-Occlud PFO® Closure Device.
The purpose of this study is to investigate effectiveness and safety of transcatheter closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defects.
Cardiac surgery induces a measurable stress response in patients which leads to increased morbidity and mortality post-operatively. Through clinical observation, anesthesiologists have determined that varying the combinations of anesthesia drugs used during surgery and just after reduces the stress response, and by extension, morbidity and mortality. However, only a few studies have explored this phenomenon scientifically.
The addition of clopidogrel on top of aspirin may reduce the occurrence of new-onset migraine headache episodes following transcatheter ASD closure.
The purpose of this study is to prospectively evaluate the incidence of hemodynamic compromise and to obtain long-term survival data on patients with the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder
The objective is to investigate the safety of the AMPLATZER Muscular VSD Occluder for the treatment of muscular ventricular septal defects, which are hemodynamically significant and are either isolated or in conjunction with other congenital heart defects in infants and children.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the long-term safety and efficacy of the GORE® HELEX® Septal Occluder in the treatment of ostium secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs).
The purpose of this feasibility study is to investigate the safety of the AMPLATZER® Membranous VSD Occluder for the treatment of hemodynamically significant Perimembranous Ventricular Septal Defects.
To assess whether the drug ketamine given prior to cardiopulmonary bypass can decrease injury to the cells in the brain.
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.
