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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

The PACO trial is a randomized clinical trial conducted in Heart Centers of Kuopio and Turku university hospitals. The coronary artery disease, aortic valve stenosis and mitral valve insufficiency patients preparing for elective coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG), aortic valve replacement (AVR) or mitral valve repair (MVR) will be randomized ...

The day before operation, after verification of inclusion and exclusion criteria, the visiting anesthesiologist will explain to the patient the aim of the study. By signing an informed consent the patient will be recruited into the study. On the evening before operation the patient will receive the statin in a ...

Due to narrow therapeutic window, and individual differences in dosage, inappropriate use of warfarin may lead to serious complications and ineffective. Based on the results of the research on the transformation of warfarin pharmacogenomics, this study investigates the clinical application of gene-directed warfarin dose prediction model through the preset dosage ...

This is a genome-wide association study.
