Filter by:Little is known regarding the impact of transcatheter mitral valve edge-to-edge repair (TEER) on the acute changes in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and the effect of an acute reduction in LVEF, the so-called "afterload mismatch" (AM), on prognosis. We thereby aim to assess changes in LVEF after TEER, identify rate and predictors AM, and estimate its impact on prognosis.
The aim of the present study is to investigate safety and efficacy of early versus deferred aortic valve replacement in patients with moderate aortic stenosis combined with moderate mitral regurgitation.
The transcatheter edge to edge mitral valve repair (TEER) and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) are the interventional cardiology procedures that require periprocedural anticoagulation with unfractionated heparin (UFH). The UFH is administered either before or immediately after transseptal puncture, at the discretion of the operator The aim of the study is to establish the optimal timing of initiation of periprocedural anticoagulation in patients undergoing structural heart interventions requiring transseptal puncture (TEER and LAAC), Patients who undergo TEER implantation or LAAC procedure will be randomized to two groups: 1. Early UFH administration. The iv. bolus of UFH (100Units/kg) will be given after obtained femoral vein access and at least 5 minutes prior to the start of the TSP. 2. Late UFH administration. The iv. bolus of UFH (100Units/kg) will be given immediately after TSP, defined as the introduction of transseptal sheath into the left atrium.
Mitral regurgitation may be seen in the setting of cardiogenic shock. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has been shown to improve outcomes in patients with chronic heart failure. Observational studies suggest improvements in clinical outcomes in patients with mitral regurgitation in the setting of cardiogenic shock; however, there remains a lack of randomized clinical data to support the use of TEER in cardiogenic shock. This study will be a multicenter, open-label, randomized-controlled trial with two study arms: medical therapy and TEER. Patients admitted to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit (CICU), Cardiac Surgery Intensive Care Unit (CSICU) or Intensive Care Units (ICU) at participating centers will be recruited. The study aims to answer the question: "Does TEER in patients with SCAI stage C or D cardiogenic with concomitant moderate or greater mitral regurgitation improve outcomes as compared to medical therapy?" The study hypothesis is that TEER will lead to an overall improvement in the composite outcome as compared to the medical therapy arm.
MITRADVANCE-HF is a prospective, randomized, parallel-controlled, open-label, multicentre study trial enrolling patients with SMR and advanced HF on maximally tolerated standard of care therapies for HF according to the most recent guidelines. Enrolled patients will be randomly assigned, in a 1:1 ratio, to a device arm consisting of MitraClip therapy added to optimal medical therapy (OMT) or a control arm of OMT alone. Approximately 20 Italian high-volume centres will be involved. Enrolment duration will be of 24 months. Follow-up visit will be performed at 3, 6, and 12 months. Primary end-point was the absolute change in overall KCCQ summary score (KCCQ-OS) from baseline to 3 months follow-up.
Primary mitral regurgitation (MR) is the most common valvular disease in western countries. The MR mechanism is often related to a mitral valve prolapse (MVP) defined as a single or bi-leaflet prolapse of at least 2 mm beyond the long-axis mitral annular plane. In recent years, several studies have identified a subtype of MVP patients at higher risk of ventricular arrhythmias (VA) and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The presence of regional myocardial replacement fibrosis (RMRF) has been shown as a risk marker of arrhythmic events (VA and SCD) in patients with MVP. RMRF can be identified using cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging with late gadolinium enhancement (LGE+). In these patients, fibrosis was found in the basal inferolateral myocardium and at the level of papillary muscles (PMs). This fibrosis is developed beyond the volume overload related to the MVP. It is probably linked to the mechanical stretch acting upon the valve and the neighboring left ventricle (LV) myocardium. RMRF is associated with a high degree of MR, with specific features of mitral valve apparatus (bi-leaflet prolapse with marked leaflet redundancy, mitral annulus abnormalities (i.e. Mitral-Annular Disjunction)), and more dilated LV. It is also independently associated with the occurrence of cardiovascular events. Mitral valve repair (MVr) is the gold standard treatment for primary Mitral Regurgitation. Very little data concerning the impact of preoperative RMRF on mitral valve surgery outcomes is available, and the impact of myocardial fibrosis on the postoperative left ventricle remodeling has not been studied so far. No previous study compares preoperative and postoperative fibrosis evolution. Thus, no data exists regarding the postoperative evolution of this fibrosis and its relationship with ventricular arrhythmic risk after valve surgery. Small observational studies have suggested that mitral valve surgery did not reduce the risk of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with bileaflet MVP. Finally, the mechanisms involved in the development of regional myocardial replacement fibrosis within the left ventricle myocardium during the natural history of MVP cannot be understood with current standard medical imaging tools. Numerical simulation technologies provide an innovative and in-vivo approach to assess the physical and pathological mechanisms causing this fibrosis. They can also be used to assess the changes in mitral valve and myocardium dynamics after surgical mitral valve repair procedures. A large consortium, involving physicians and scientists, has been created to address these questions to fulfil our objectives over a 4 year period (SIMR project).
Study to evaluate the safety and performance of the Innovalve mitral valve replacement system
this research is based on the hypothesis that the measurement of the ratio of mean arterial pressure to mean left atrium pressure and of its evolution during the procedure, would make it possible to assess the immediate success of the procedure by supplementing the results of the ultrasound. The main objective of this research is to define the percentage of improvement in the mean arterial pressure / mean left atrium pressure ratio at the end of the procedure to validate the success of the MitraClip procedure.
Despite improvements in available techniques and prostheses, the long-term evolution of patients after transcatheter paravalvular leak closure remains poorly understood. The objective of this study is to evaluate the long-term outcome of patients after transcatheter paravalvular leak closure and to identify factors predictive of survival. The investigators designed a retrospective multicentre observational registry entitled FFPP (e.g. "Fermeture des Fuites Para-Prothétiques" in French). Seventeen centres from France, Poland, Turkey and Belgium enrolled retrospectively at least one PVLc procedure on aortic, mitral, tricuspid or pulmonary valves without limit in its delay of performance.Follow-up of at least one year was expected
The mechanical intervention is treating secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) which may be performed using the standard open surgical approach or transcatheter edge to edge repair (TEER). The key question of this study is to establish the difference in left ventricular reverse remodeling after adjustment for death, as assessed by means of the left ventricular end-systolic dimension(LVESD), all-cause and cause-specific (cardiac vs noncardiac) mortality in patients who received the TEER vs the standard surgical procedure for SMR.
