Filter by:This study will investigate Ebstein's anomaly, a congenital abnormality of the tricuspid valve of the heart and try to identify the genetic origins of the disease. Adults and children 2 years of age and older with Ebstein's anomaly and healthy volunteers may be eligible for this study. Participants undergo the following procedures: - Blood tests: Three tube of blood will be collected, with the total amount limited to about half a teaspon for each two pounds of body weight. - Saliva sample collection: A small amount of saliva is collected by spitting into a sterile container. - Oral (cheek) swab: Cells are collected from the mouth using a soft brush to swab the inside lining of the cheek. - Electrocardiogram: The electrical activity of the heart is recorded using electrodes placed on the chest. - Echocardiogram: Heart function is assessed using ultrasound.
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.
The Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common of all congenital cardiac malformations. By modifying the Nit-Occlud® PDA Device the Nit-Occlud® Lê VSD Spiral System was designed. as a percutaneous, transcatheter device for occlusion of (peri)membranous and muscular ventricular septum defects (VSD) with a spiral coil. In this clinical investigation feasibility, safety and performance of the new cardiac occluder will be evaluated in accordance with European and US regulations. The study data will be compared to performance criteria for VSD, which are deduced analogue to the published specific Objective Performance Criteria (OPCs) for PDAs. The first part of the study has been performed in three clinical centres in Germany. For the second part in April 2009 four additional clinical centres in Germany, Israel, Italy and Spain were included.
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).
The purpose of this study is to determine whether infusion of hypertonic saline dextran attenuates the inflammatory response and the water overload, during and after major cardiac surgery in small children.
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.
To compare the influence of two surgical anesthetic techniques, hypothermia with circulatory arrest or hypothermia with low-flow bypass perfusion, on neurologic functioning in infants undergoing heart surgery.
