Filter by:This is a prospective, multi-center, single-arm study to evaluate the VenTouch System for treatment of moderate to moderate-severe functional mitral valve regurgitation [FMR].
During general anesthesia a reduction of Functional Residual Capacity (FRC) was observed. The reduction of FRC could imply that respiratory system closing capacity (CC) exceeds the FRC and leads to a phenomenon called expiratory flow limitation (EFL). Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) test is a validated method to evaluate the presence of EFL during anesthesia. Aim of the study will be to asses if mechanical ventilation during CardioPulmonary Bypass (CPB) in cardiac surgery could reduce the incidence of EFL in the post-CPB period. Primary end-point will be the incidence of EFL, assessed by a PEEP test, performed at different time-points in operating room. Co-primary end-point will be shunt fraction, determined before and after surgery. This will be a single center single-blind parallel group randomized controlled trial. Patients will be randomly assigned to four parallel arms with an allocation ratio 1:1:1:1, to receive one of four mechanical ventilation strategies during CPB. 1. Ventilation with a Positive End-Expiratory Pressure (PEEP) of 5 cmH2O before and after CPB; Continuous Positive Airway Pressure (CPAP) during CPB; 2. Ventilation without PEEP before and after CPB; CPAP during CPB; 3. Ventilation with a PEEP of 5 cmH2O before and after CPB; No use of mechanical ventilation during CPB 4. Ventilation without PEEP before and after CPB; No use of mechanical ventilation during CPB
This is a single-arm, multi-center, open-label controlled study that will assess the safety and performance of the Accucinch System to induce left ventricular reverse remodeling and reduce the severity of functional mitral regurgitation in symptomatic adult patients with mitral regurgitation and left ventricular remodeling due to dilated cardiomyopathy (ischemic or non-ischemic etiology), who are of high operative risk.
Multi center evaluation of the Millipede IRIS for treatment of clinically significant mitral regurgitation in subjects determined appropriate for mitral valve surgery.
The main objective of this project is to determine intermediate-term echocardiographic outcomes in Medicare eligible patients (65 years of age and older) with moderate surgical risk who have undergone mitral valve surgery for degenerative mitral regurgitation.
A multi center study to evaluate the safety of the AMENDTM Mitral Valve Repair System and its ability to reduce mitral regurgitation. AMEND device is an annuloplasty ring implanted in a minimally invasive trans-catheter method.
Functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) is a common finding in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). The presence of a relevant FMR (grade ≥2) is associated with a higher morbidity and mortality. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown to be effective in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and reduced LVEF. In selected patients, CRT has been linked to clinical improvement and reduced mortality. Importantly, 38% of patients with clinical indication for CRT present moderate or severe (FMR). Although FMR might be reduced after CRT, the persistence of a relevant FMR (≥2) after CRT ranges between 40% and 50% and is an independent predictor of no clinical response. In these patients, surgical FMR correction is frequently turned down as a result of a high surgical risk. Percutaneous repair of the mitral valve with the MitraClip system has demonstrated promising results in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and reduced LVEF5. In a cohort of patients with no response to CRT and FMR ≥2, Auricchio et al showed significant clinical improvement with LVEF recovery and reduction in left ventricle (LV) volumes after MitraClip. The absence of randomization, the retrospective nature of the study and the subsequent selection biases were however major limitations that impeded solid conclusions. The objective of the present study is to assess the efficacy and safety of the MitraClip system in non-responders to CRT and FMR ≥2.
The study is comparing MitraClip® to Surgical therapy in high and intermediate risk patients, who should be older than 18 years, and shall evaluate safety and efficacy of MitraClip® vs. surgery in high or intermediate risk patients. The patients will be randomised (MitraClip® or Surgery). The Study Follow-Up includes 4 visits after procedure (hospital discharge, 1, 6, 12 months post-procedure).
The objective of the study is to confirm the reproducibility of the evidence of safety and efficacy of AVJ-514 System technology in Japanese subjects who have been deemed difficult for mitral valve surgery by the local site heart team.
The purpose of the study is to generate early US feasibility data of the CardiAQ™ Transcatheter Mitral Valve Implant System. The study will enroll patients with moderate to severe mitral valve regurgitation who are considered high risk for mortality and morbidity from conventional open-heart surgery.
