Filter by:Paraprosthetic cardiac valve leaks are a progressive complication after after surgical or percutaneous heart valve replacement. These leaks can lead to heart failure and/or life-threatening hemolysis. Percutaneous closure of para-prosthetic leaks has been developed as an alternative to surgery in high-risk patients. These procedures remain technically challenging with a significant risk of failure and complications, but this risk is improved since the development of dedicated prostheses and the increased experience of the operators. The data in the literature concerning percutaneous leak closure remain limited and disparate and mostly retrospective.The impact of the procedures on the quality of life of patients is not known. Beyond the technical aspects and the follow-up of major cardiovascular events, investigators also wonder what is the impact of these procedures on the quality of life of patients. Investigators hypothesize that even a partial reduction in paraprosthetic leakage may be associated with an improvement in quality of life through reduction of transfusion needs and/or reduction of dyspnea. A prospective study is warranted to assess the technical and clinical and clinical results of these procedures, together with the evaluation of the the possible benefit on the quality of life of the patients.
Acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI) is related to poor outcomes in patients after heart valve replacement. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of the probiotic mixture supplementation (PMS) in patients after heart valve replacement by preventing acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI).
In this retrospective study, the investigators will analyze the correlation between cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and acute gastrointestinal injury (AGI), and the outcomes of AGI in patients undergoing heart valve replacement.
The research will be carried out in the Cardio Vascular Surgery (CVS) Intensive Care Unit (ICU) of Ankara Training and Research Hospital (TRH) . Patients will be divided into two Experimental (n=24) and control (n=24) groups. Simple randomization method will be used in the study, provided that there are equal numbers of male and female patients in the experimental and control groups, regardless of the age of the patients. Patients in the experimental group will use a digital window. The "Patient Information Form","Richard-Campbell Sleep Questionnaire_RCSQ " and " Day and Night Perception Form" will be used in the data collection phase. Ethics committee approval was received from Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University Ethics Committee in order to conduct the study.
This traditional feasibility study aims to capture preliminary safety and effectiveness information on a near-final Investigational Device design to adequately plan the forthcoming pivotal study.
The study aim is to test the diagnostic performance of internists interpreting echo images aided by the AISAP CARDIO V0.7 diagnostic support system. Ground truth will be established by an interpretation by cardiologists specialized in echo, of the same POCUS images (acquired by the internist \ sonographer ). Up to 1000 subjects; Study population will be distributed according to the following schema: Group 1 -up to 800 patients hospitalized in the Internal Medicine division Group 2 - up to 200 patients hospitalized in the acute Geriatric division
The Bronx-Valve Registry is designed to collect and assess data on all patients with valvular diseases referred to Montefiore Medical Center for echocardiographic exams.
Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has became an important treatment of severe aortic stenosis (AS). Several randomized clinical trials showed that TAVR was non-inferior or superior to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). However, many different issues have emerged: TAVR in younger patients? valve leaflet thrombosis? transcatheter valve durability? coronary reaccess after TAVR? TAVR in bicuspid aortic valve? TAVR in aortic regurgitation? etc. Hence, a prospective, multicenter database is created to provide the real-word data for these questions.
NPs can be used To detect subset of asymptomatic with subtle LV dysfunction for further evaluation and earlier referral for intervention and its correlation with echocardiographic finding.
Robotic surgery is one of the most popular minimally invasive procedures for patients with coronary artery disease or valvular diseases. Studies have shown that, as compared to conventional sternotomy, patients underwent robot-assisted bypass grafting or valvuloplasty had less post-operation pain, blood transfusion volume during operation, re-operation rate, post-operation stroke rate and length of hospitalization. However, most studies focused on the comparison of complications of different procedures, and the investigation of cardiopulmonary function recovery is still lacking. Thus our study is to compare the functional outcomes between patients that undergo different surgical procedures.
