Heart Valve Disease Clinical Trials

The purpose of this research study is to determine if replacing the aortic valve without open-heart surgery is as safe as or safer than open-heart surgery in patients who are considered at low risk for complications from surgery. Subjects in this trial will be compared to similar patients that have ...

Eligibility Criteria: Once you have decided to participate and have learned of the details of the trial you will be seen and evaluated for the following: To be eligible to participate you will be evaluated for Severity of aortic stenosis. You must meet criteria for heart team agreement of low ...

A prospective, single-arm, multicenter clinical trial. This study will enroll patients with symptomatic heart disease due to a failing bioprosthetic mitral valve (stenosed, insufficient, or combined).

Fetal aortic stenosis is an anatomically simple birth defect in which there is partial blockage of the aortic valve, limiting blood flow out of the left side of the heart. If the blockage becomes severe in fetal life, the left heart structures may stop growing and the baby may be ...

This clinical trial is a prospective, randomized, controlled, multi-center study. Patients will be randomized 1:1 to receive either transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the Edwards SAPIEN 3 THV or clinical surveillance. Patients will be stratified by whether or not they are able to perform a treadmill stress test. Patients ...

The purpose of this study is to further evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Harmony TPV system.

In Sakarya University Educational Research Hospital, perioperative file records of 13 patients who underwent mitral valve repair using the Neochord DS1000 system were retrospectively analyzed. In addition, hemodynamic measurements recorded with the Vigileo Flotrac invasive arterial cardiac output device were evaluated.

An Electrocardiogram (ECG) 6 electrode, wireless handheld device held on the chest is being developed to allow diagnosis of heart rhythm problems without the need for connecting electrodes to the chest, arms and legs as in a standard 10 electrode (referred to as a 12-lead) ECG measurement. A faster and ...

Patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) have associated atherosclerotic renal and cerebral disease making these organs especially vulnerable to ischemia during open heart surgery. At the Heart Center at Rigshospitalet in Copenhagen the investigators perform more than 1000 open heart surgery operations yearly. The primary indication is CAD with or ...
