Filter by:The Investigational Device is the TricValve Transcatheter Bicaval Valve System (also referred to as the TricValve System). The bioprosthesis is available in two different diameters for each model (SVC and IVC) specifically designed to adapt to the anatomic features of the superior and inferior vena cava. The SVC and IVC valves are single use, sterile devices provided in two sizes each, for a total of four valve sizes. The valves are designed for heterotopic caval implantation without perturbing the native tricuspid valve. The valves are made of bovine pericardium leaflets sutured on a nitinol self-expanding stent system. The SVC and IVC valves are provided pre-mounted in two separate TricValve Delivery Systems, and are individually packaged into two separate boxes, provided sterile and ready to use. The two TricValve Delivery Systems deliver the two valves percutaneously into the SVC and IVC via femoral vein access using a transvenous approach.
The goal of this interventional is to assess advantages of the ultrasound examination of the lungs in the early postoperative period in cardiac surgical patients after heart surgeries requiring cardiopulmonary bypass. Evaluation of pulmonary complications and outcomes during mid-term follow-up, as well as comparison of ultrasound examination and traditional roentgenologic methods (X-ray examination and CT of the chest) will be performed. The main question[s] it aims to answer are: - Is ultrasound examination of the lungs a more specific and sensitive method in identification of early postoperative pulmonary complications after on-pump cardiac surgical procedures, in comparison with traditional X-ray methods. - Does early identification of interstitial pulmonary edema (based on number of visualised B-lines in the early postoperative period), influences mid-term outcomes in this cohort of patients Participants will undergo ultrasound examination of the lungs on postoperative day 1, 3, 5 and 7 after heart surgery. Based on ultrasound findings and degree of interstitial pulmonary edema, medical (diuretics, anti-inflammatory, e.t.c) therapy will be modified. Researchers will compare this group of patients with control group, in which ultrasound examination will be performed in the same time frames, but no changes in medical management based on ultrasound findings will be made to see if timely administered medical therapy, based on ultrasound findings, can significantly improve symptoms, hospital lengths of stay and outcomes of this patients.
This study is prospective, non-randomized, single-arm,first in human study to evaluate the safety and feasibility of the Versa Vascular System for intervention in adults with severe tricuspid regurgitation who are not surgical candidates.
Mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are common causes of breathlessness, fluid retention and other heart failure symptoms, which lead to reduced quality of life and frequent hospitalisation. These conditions are particularly prevalent in older adults with many of these patients being at high risk for surgical intervention due to frailty and comorbidities, leaving them with few treatment alternatives. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) procedures have increasingly been used to improve the severity of both MR and TR, offering patients symptomatic relief and reductions in heart failure hospitalisation at low procedural risk. There is considerable geographic variation in protocols to assess these patients prior to the procedure and also in length of hospital stay. The standard of care in the UK, and particularly in Oxford, emphasises fewer investigations before the TEER procedure and shorter length of hospital stay. This prospective, observational cohort study will examine the safety and feasibility of this practice.
In the recent years, secondary tricuspid regurgitation (STR) has gained interest due to its high prevalence and impact on outcomes. Transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement or repair represents novel and less invasive alternatives to surgery and has shown early promising results. Treatment options mimic surgical techniques such as leaflet approximation, direct annuloplasty, and heterotopic caval valve implantation, as well as not yet commercially available transcatheter TV replacement systems using orthotopic valve implantation. (5) Among leaflet approximation techniques, the Tricuspid transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) using the TriClip™ (Abbott Vascular, Santa Clara, CA, USA) or leaflet approximation with the PASCAL systems (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) are approved in Europe for minimally invasive TV repair.The purposes of the present study are: i. to use 3DE and CCT to evaluate the effect of T-TEER on the geometry and function of the right heart chambers in patients with STR; ii. to identify the predictors of procedural success potentially related to features of both right chambers geometry and TR jet; iii. to compare the accuracy of 3DE assessment of the right ventricle, the right atrium, and the tricuspid annulus, with the same parameters obtained by CCT, in the setting of T-TEER; and iv. to assess patients' outcome.
To investigate clinical and survival outcomes following transcatheter tricuspid valve repair or replacement.
This study aims to investigate the prevalence and characteristics of multiple and mixed valvular heart disease (MMVD), which includes combinations of stenotic or regurgitant lesions on cardiac valves. The research will be conducted as a multicenter observational study, involving several centers worldwide, and will have a one-year follow-up period (with a possible extension to 5 years). The primary aim is to determine the proportion of MMVD among patients evaluated for valvular heart disease. Secondary aims include the evaluation of the epidemiologic distribution of clinical, biological, and cardiovascular imaging characteristics at baseline, management strategies, and their impact on prognosis. The study will also evaluate clinical outcomes such as mortality, hospitalization for heart failure, and changes in echocardiographic parameters. This research aims to provide valuable insights into the diagnosis, management, and prognosis of MMVD, addressing an important knowledge gap in this area.
Prospective observational cohort study within the Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU). We will perform point-of-care-ultrasound (POCUS) to quantify tricuspid regurgitant jet velocity (TRJV) on mechanically ventilated (MV) children. Mechanically ventilated (MV) children approaching extubation as per the discretion of the PICU clinical team will undergo a positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) titration protocol in a safe and timely manner in the PICU. During this PEEP titration, POCUS will be performed by a pediatric intensivist and interpreted by a pediatric cardiologist. Medical demographics will be collected from the electronic medical record and recorded.
Early Feasibility Study to evaluate the safety and performance of the Innoventric Trillium™ Stent Graft in the treatment of severe or greater tricuspid regurgitation (TR).
The aim of PLUTO-II is to use biventricular pressure-volume (PV) loop measurements to improve the understanding of direct changes in cardiac and hemodynamic physiology induced by transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) or tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (TEER). These procedures evoke immediate changes in cardiac mechanoenergetics, ventricular-vascular interaction as well as ventricular (in)dependency. Within the context of PLUTO-II, patients will undergo biventricular PV-loop measurements before and after TAVI or TEER. In future, the application of perprocedural PV loop monitoring may tailor the daily individual decision making process during structural interventions in the catheterization laboratory.
