The purpose of this prospective, non-randomized, single-arm feasibility study is to evaluate safety and feasibility of the iCoapsys System in patients with functional mitral valve insufficiency caused by annular dilation and/or papillary muscle displacement.
The purpose of this study is to determine if the use of BNP/NT-proBNP levels in the detection of early left ventricular dysfunction and damage may improve the timing of cardiac surgery and therefore the long-term management of asymptomatic patients with severe mitral regurgitation.
Mitral valve repair for ischemic mitral regurgitation is performed primarily by annuloplasty. There is some degree of late failure, which may be due in part to the type of ring employed. We want to compare late results with mitral valve annuloplasty using flexible vs rigid annuloplasty rings.
- Chronic severe mitral regurgitation can lead to symptoms and left ventricular dysfunction. - The purpose of this study is to prospectively follow patients with non-ischaemic cardiomyopathy who are eligible for mitral valve repair surgery and primarily measure the quality of life through the Minnesota Living with Heart Failure Questionnaire & the Kansas City Cardiomyopathy Questionnaire.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether adding mitral valve repair to coronary artery bypass grafting improves outcome in patients with ischemic mitral regurgitation.
The primary aim of this study is to assess the changes on the shape and function of the left ventricle in patients with severe mitral valve regurgitation due to congestive heart failure and cardiomyopathy who undergo mitral valve reconstruction with a Geoform ring. Three-dimensional echocardiogram will be used for precise evaluation of the shape and function of the ventricle.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of a single dose of etomidate for patients undergoing cardiac surgery with the use of cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) on post-CPB adrenocortical responsiveness, on requirements of hemodynamic support, and on use of intensive care resources.
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.
