Filter by:This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study to evaluate safety and efficacy of the VenTouch System for treatment of subjects with functional MR.
Congenital mitral insufficiency is one of the most common valvular diseases in the pediatric population worldwide, carrying a high morbidity and mortality risk if not treated immediately and properly. Given that mitral replacement likely increased risk of cardiac dysfunction and mitral reoperation, mitral repair is the currently preferred surgical strategy in the majority of pediatric patients with mitral insufficiency. Unfortunately, previous evidences demonstrated the long-term hemodynamic alteration in response to significant mitral regurgitant might lead to a reversible or irreversible pulmonary vascular remodeling regardless of concomitant other cardiac malformations, which is associated with increased risk of morbidity and mortality following the surgery. Currently available researches mainly focused the association of pulmonary vascular pressures with risk of mortality and morbidity on adult rheumatic or degenerative mitral insufficiency; however, knowledge is still lacking regarding pediatric population with congenital mitral insufficiency. The investigator wil assess the relationship between baseline sPAP and risk of operative morbidity and mortality.
Coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) is an effective procedure in treating severe coronary artery disease(CAD). Optimal surgical method for CAD patients with functional ischemic mitral regurgitation(FIMR) is still controversial. This study will evaluate the different effectiveness of CABG plus mitral valve annuloplasty versus CABG alone on patients with moderate FIMR.
The PACO trial is a randomized clinical trial conducted in Heart Centers of Kuopio and Turku university hospitals. The coronary artery disease, aortic valve stenosis and mitral valve insufficiency patients preparing for elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic valve replacement (AVR) or mitral valve repair (MVR) will be randomized to either intervention or control group. The specific operation groups (CABG, AVR and MVR) will be analyzed separately. The 7-day baseline measurements of sedentary behaviour (SB), physical activity (PA) and sleep will be conducted to the patients by using the RM42 accelerometer during the pre-operative month. After the cardiac procedure is completed and the patient is moved to post-operative ward, the control group patients will begin the standard post-operative rehabilitation program of the participating hospitals (activity guidance given by a physiotherapist). Patients in the intervention groups will follow the identical program but after discharge they will also receive personalized activity guidance through the combination of ExSed smart phone application, Suunto MoveSense accelerometer and cloud system during the first 90 days of post-operative rehabilitation. Weekly evolving daily goals to replace SB with PA (daily goals for steps, moderate PA, light PA and standing, and sitting time limit) will be designed for each patient of the intervention groups. A new daily step goal will be delivered from the cloud system to the patient's smart phone in the beginning of each week of the intervention. The daily step goal of the first intervention week is based on patient's walking distance assessed by a physiotherapist in post-operative ward. The following goals will be automatically evolved in the basis of patient's personal average step count of the previous week. The MoveSense accelerometer will measure accumulated levels of SB, PA and sleep, and transmit the data to user's ExSed application with Bluetooth. With information about accumulated levels of SB and PA, the application is able to guide the patient to accomplish the predefined activity goal. The guidance and motivation will be offered with pop-up notifications and histograms (columns are fulfilled according to patient's accumulated daily activity). The researches retain a remote access to the activity data of patients in the cloud system. The ExSed application will be connected to the cloud system with internet connection. In addition, the patients of the intervention groups will receive short video files (lasting from 1 to 3 minutes) containing exercise guidance from a physiotherapist specialized to cardiac operation patients. These videos are available on the ExSed application during the intervention. The physiotherapist will also contact each patient (by mobile phone) with structured contact form from 1 to 4 times in a month to make sure that the intervention is proceeding as designed.
Prospective, controlled, multicenter clinical investigation with four trial cohorts: Randomized, Non-repairable, Severe Mitral Annular Calcification (MAC) and Severe Mitral Annular Calcification Continued Access Protocol (MAC CAP). Subjects in the Randomized cohort will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to the trial device or to the MitraClip system. Subjects in the Non-repairable, Severe MAC, and Severe MAC CAP cohorts will receive the trial device. The objective of the Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Safety and Effectiveness of Using the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the Treatment of Symptomatic Mitral Regurgitation (SUMMIT) is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System for the treatment of patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation or for patients with symptomatic mitral valve disease due to severe mitral annular calcification. This randomized controlled trial will provide the opportunity to evaluate the safety and clinical benefits of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System compared to the MitraClip System in patients with symptomatic, moderate-to-severe or severe mitral regurgitation, within approved MitraClip indications. In addition, the safety and effectiveness of the Tendyne Transcatheter Mitral Valve System will be evaluated in patients with severe mitral annular calcification who are at prohibitive risk for mitral valve surgery. Patients who are not suitable for mitral valve surgery for reasons other than severe mitral annular calcification and are also not suitable for transcatheter repair with MitraClip, will be enrolled in the Non-repairable cohort. Subjects will be seen at screening, pre- and post-procedure, discharge, 30 days, 3 months, 6 months, and annually through 5 years.
Degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) due to leaflet prolapse is frequent and can be surgically repaired in the vast majority of patients. Despite the efficacy of mitral valve repair, an ongoing international controversy exists regarding the need to perform early surgery in asymptomatic patients with severe MR and no sign of LV dysfunction in whom the probability of successful and durable repair is very high. In this group of patients, differing views of the risks of uncorrected severe MR exist: considered as benign by those supporting medical "watchful waiting" or associated with significant excess mortality/morbidity by those advocating early surgery. This controversy can only be resolved by a randomized controlled trial which is still lacking. The main objective is to demonstrate the superiority of early mitral valve repair in patients with asymptomatic severe MR due to leaflet prolapse compared to an initial conservative management in terms of all-cause death and cardiovascular morbidity during five years follow-up.
This study will evaluate the safety of the Cardiovalve Transfemoral Mitral Valve System with its associated procedure, and observe the device performance in reducing mitral regurgitation. Data collected in this clinical study will include 30-day safety and performance, and long-term clinical outcomes over a follow-up of 2 years.
Background: Chronic heart failure (HF) is frequently accompanied by functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) caused by left ventricular (LV) remodeling and subsequent papillary muscle displacement resulting in mitral valve (MV) leaflet tethering, dilatation and flattening of the mitral annulus and reduced closing forces. Up to moderate FMR affects the majority of patients with systolic heart failure - roughly 80% - still independently increasing mortality. Every fifth patient with chronic heart failure experiences a progression of FMR during the first three years of follow up despite guideline directed heart failure therapy, which is independently associated with a poor prognosis. Furthermore, MR is well known to have a strong dynamic component not only during the cardiac cycle at rest and with exercise. Aims of the study: The investigators therefore aim to assess whether stress tests in patients with functional mitral regurgitation unmasks significant dynamic mitral regurgitation or might aid to identify patients at risk of FMR progression in patients with functional mitral regurgitation in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) under guideline directed medical therapy. Study design: The investigators will prospectively perform stress tests in all patients with non-severe FMR that are routinely seen in the heart failure outpatient clinic. Study patients: Patients with stable chronic heart failure on optimal medical therapy, who undergo routine ambulatory clinical control visits in the heart failure outpatient ward of the Medical University of Vienna, will be included in the present study. A written informed consent will be obtained before inclusion. Inclusion criteria will be a non-severe FMR, an age of at least 18 years and stable heart failure related medical therapy in the last 3 months. Methods: All patients that are willing to participate will undergo stress testing (i.e. volume challenge and low dose dobutamine stress) to determine whether patients display severe dynamic FMR under stress conditions. Within the registry patients will be followed-up during routine ambulatory visits for three years. Patients with severe dynamic functional mitral regurgitation will be compared to patients without severe dynamic FMR. Record of clinical events during the FUP will be performed. Routine laboratory parameters, have been measured at inclusion. Additionally, neurohormone patterns will be measured at baseline and at peak stress. Sample size: Expecting a prevalence of severe dynamic FMR of 20%, the investigators would include a total of 150 chronic heart failure patients taking also into account a study-dropouts of 20% ( loss of follow-up and mortality).
The objective of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority for clinical efficacy of an endovascular treatment strategy with the MitraClip® in comparison with a surgical treatment strategy in patients with severe primary mitral regurgitation judged eligible for anatomical repair with the MitraClip® or mitral valve surgery with high surgical risk. This trial is a French and Monegasque, multicenter and randomized trial. Patients enrolled will be clinically followed for 2 years ( clinical visit at 1 month, at 6 months and 12 months, phone call at 18 months and clincial visit at 24 months).
