Filter by:The study is a randomised controlled trial comparing two treatment strategies for patients with moderate functional ischaemic mitral regurgitation undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Patients will be randomised to receive either CABG alone or CABG plus mitral annuloplasty. The objective of the study is to determine if mitral annuloplasty in addition to CABG improves outcome in patients with moderate functional ischaemic mitral regurgitation.
The purpose of this study is to try and determine whether repair of moderate ischemic mitral regurgitation at the time of coronary bypass graft surgery (CABG) has an impact on survival.We will compare patients undergoing CABG + mitral repair or CABG only groups. Primary endpoints include late survival. Secondary endpoints include event free survival, symptoms, and echocardiographic outcomes.
The Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE) Surgical Treatment of Ischemic Heart Failure (STICH) ancillary study will define the mechanism(s) of functional mitral regurgitation (MR) by TEE in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy, and the impact of therapy (medical, coronary artery bypass grafting [CABG], or CABG plus surgical ventricular restoration [SVR]) on mechanism and severity of MR. Severity of the effect of functional MR on clinical outcomes will also be examined. The TEE STICH study will address four specific aims that will focus on defining the following: 1) the mechanism(s) of functional MR in ischemic cardiomyopathy; 2) the effect of therapy on the mechanism and severity of functional MR; 3) myocardial viability on functional MR and its response to treatment; and 4) the effect of MR on prognosis in ischemic cardiomyopathy.
Prospective, multi-center, Phase I study of the Evalve Cardiovascular Valve Repair System (CVRS) in the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation. Patients will undergo 30-day, 6 month, 12 month, and 5 year clinical follow-up.
EVEREST II Randomized Controlled Trial (RCT) is a prospective, multi-center, randomized study of the MitraClip® System in the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation, randomizing patients to MitraClip or mitral valve surgery. The EVEREST II High Risk Registry (HRR) study is a prospective multi-center study of the MitraClip System for the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation in high surgical risk patients. Enrollment in the RCT and HRR is closed. A continued access prospective, multi-center study (REALISM) of the MitraClip System in a surgical population (non-high risk arm) and a high surgical risk population (high risk arm) is ongoing. Enrollment in the non-high risk arm of REALISM is closed. Enrollment in the high risk arm of REALISM is ongoing. Patients enrolled in EVEREST II undergo 30-day, 6-month, 12-month, 18-month and 24-month clinical and echocardiographic follow-up, and then annually for 5 years.
Mitral valve regurgitation (leakage of the mitral valve of the heart) is frequent and currently there is no specific medical therapy. Mitral regurgitation is a slowly progressive disease that frequently requires surgical treatment. This randomized clinical trial will use Metoprolol, a common beta-blocker medication, to determine if medical treatment impacts mitral valve disease progression.
The purpose of this prospective, randomized, multi-center, pivotal trial is to compare the safety and effectiveness of the off-pump, closed heart Coapsys System (Myocor, Inc.) to open surgical repair of the mitral valve using an annuloplasty ring or band in patients with moderate to severe functional mitral regurgitation.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the study drug (TP10), which blocks complement release, can reduce such side effects of complement inflammation as chest pain or heart attacks and be taken safely in women who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.
In this study researchers plan to perform a diagnostic test called transesophageal echocardiography in order to see and record the movement and function of the heart. Transesophageal echocardiography is similar to an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. Different views of the heart are taken by a small, flexible instrument positioned in the esophagus (the tube that connects the mouth to the stomach). This allows doctors to create a clear picture of the heart through the wall of the esophagus rather than from outside the body through the muscles, fat, and bones of the chest wall. During transesophageal echocardiography pictures of the heart will be taken while patients rest and as patients receive a medication called dobutamine. Dobutamine is a medication that makes the heart beat stronger and faster, similar to what exercise does to the heart. Researchers are particularly interested in studying patients with defects in the valves of the heart, especially aortic regurgitation and mitral regurgitation. Patients with these defects in the heart valves tend to develop abnormalities in the size and function of the left ventricle. The left ventricle is one of the four chambers of the heart responsible for ejecting blood out of the heart into the circulation. Researchers believe that by identifying changes in the function of heart muscle, they may be able to predict the occurrence of muscle damage due to the diseased valves. The purpose of this study is to determine whether the function of heart muscle measured during dobutamine stress transesophageal echocardiography can predict the later development of problems in the function and size of the left ventricle.
