Filter by:Background: Computer aided auscultation in the differentiation of pathologic (AHA class I) from no- or innocent murmurs (AHA class III) via artificial intelligence algorithms could be a useful tool to assist healthcare providers in identifying pathological heart murmurs and may avoid unnecessary referrals to medical specialists. Objective: Assess the quality of the artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm that autonomously detects and classifies heart murmurs as either pathologic (AHA class I) or as no- or innocent (AHA class III). Hypothesis: The algorithm used in this study is able to analyze and identify pathologic heart murmurs (AHA class I) in an adult population with valve defects with a similar sensitivity compared to medical specialist. Methods: Each patient is auscultated and diagnosed independently by a medical specialist by means of standard auscultation. Auscultation findings are verified via gold-standard echocardiogram diagnosis. For each patient, a phonocardiogram (PCG) - a digital recording of the heart sounds - is acquired. The recordings are later analyzed using the AI algorithm. The algorithm results are compared to the findings of the medical professionals as well as to the echocardiogram findings.
The PREMISE Registry is a retrospective, observational study that will evaluate the efficacy and safety of the MitraClip in real-world Canadian practice. It will include all patients who have undergone MitraClip implantation in Canada to date.
The ChordArt System is a novel catheter based technology for mitral chordal replacement that enables controlled implantation of artificial mitral chords to treat mitral regurgitation with a minimally invasive approach. The implant is designed to allow transfemoral antegrade implantation.
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.
This is a non-randomized, prospective, multi-center Early Feasibility Study of the AccuCinch® Ventricular Restoration System in Patients with Prior Mitral Valve Intervention (PMVI) and Recurrent Mitral Regurgitation.
This study is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center feasibility clinical study of the Tendyne Mitral Valve System for the treatment of eligible subjects with symptomatic, severe mitral regurgitation and severe mitral annular calcification (MAC). Subjects satisfying the study inclusion/exclusion criteria will undergo a procedure to implant the Tendyne mitral valve replacement device.
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 current state of the art management of severe mitral regurgitation is surgical mitral valve repair, either with open chest surgery or mini-thoracotomy. However, standard surgical approaches requiring cardiopulmonary bypass are suitable for patients with low or moderate surgical risk, thus many patients are denied surgery because of unfavorable risk-benefit balance. The EuroHeart Surveyconducted by the ESC showed that one half of patients with severe mitral regurgitation were denied surgical treatment because they were felt to be at too high risk for surgery by the referring physician. Such patients are usually elderly and have co-morbidities. Thus, there is a need for novel devices enabling interventional cardiologists and cardiothoracic surgeons to perform mitral repair in a minimally-invasive fashion and possibly without cardiopulmonary bypass. The landmark EVEREST II trial randomized 279 patients with grade 3/4 MR in a 2:1 fashion to MitraClip® or surgical repair/replacement showing a lower major adverse event rate at 30-days in the MitraClip® group (15.0% vs. 48%; superiority p<0.001), mainly driven by the need for blood transfusion with surgery, and the primary efficacy endpoint of freedom from the combined outcome of death, new surgery for mitral valve dysfunction or the occurrence of >2+ MR was achieved in 55% vs. 73% (non-inferiority p=0.007). However, this study has included a highly selected patient cohort in which patients with significant surgical risk have been excluded. More recently, Multinational (ACCESS-EU, EVEREST-High Risk) and national registries (TRAMI, SWISS) have shown safety and efficacy in the real world experience. Patients currently treated are high risk, elderly, with comorbidities and mainly affected by FMR. There is need for an Italian registry, since Italy has produced the second largest volume of transcathetermitral procedures in the world after Germany. The present registry is designed to collect real world clinical data on early and long-term outcomes following percutaneous mitral regurgitation therapy in consecutive patients undergoing transcatheter procedures in Hospitals linked to the GISE database.
Prospective, observational, multi-center trial in which patients with mitral regurgitation sufficient to merit mitral valve repair will receive a surgical transvalvular, intra-annular Mitral Bridge™ to reduce or eliminate mitral regurgitation.
Implantation of the MitraClip has become the most frequently used percutaneous technique to treat significant (grade 3+ or 4+) mitral regurgitation (MR) in elderly patients deemed inoperable or at high surgical risk. In Europe, about two-thirds of patients treated with the MitraClip suffer from MR of functional origin secondary to ischemic or dilated cardiomyopathy. At present, there is debate among operators on whether stabilizing/supporting a single adequately implanted clip with a second clip is beneficial for patients with functional MR.
