Active clinical trials for "Aortic Valve Insufficiency"

Paravalvular regurgitation (PVR) is an important complication of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) that is associated with a 2.5-fold increase risk of mortality. Transesophageal echocardiographic (TEE) is considered as the gold standard to assess the severity of PVR and guide the physician to perform corrective procedures during TAVI, but it requires general anesthesia (GA). With such approach (TEE+GA), the PARTNERII trial has demonstrated that very low rate of PVR (3,5%) can be achieved with current devices. Registries have demonstrated a strong trend for using a mini-invasive approach in which the procedure is performed under conscious sedation (CS) without TEE. However, several studies raised concerns on the safety of this mini-invasive approach concerning the PVR rate. Thus, the accurate and real-time assessment of the presence and severity of PVR is an unmet clinical need to optimize TAVI without TEE guidance. A recent study reported that a blood biomarker reflecting the Von Willebrand factor (VWF) activity, i.e. the closure time with adenosine diphosphate (CT-ADP), is a valuable non-invasive, highly reproducible, and easy to perform alternative to TEE for PVR evaluation. The hypothesis is that the measurement of CT-ADP during TAVI performed without TEE guidance can improve both the detection of significant PVR and thus the procedural and clinical outcomes (primary objective).

The objective of this clinical trial is to collect data on procedural safety and device performance of the Portico and Navitor devices and FlexNav delivery system to treat patients with severe aortic stenosis in the Indian population.

The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the effectiveness and safety of the transcatheter aortic valve system in the treatment of patients with severe aortic regurgitation disease who are at high or prohibitive surgical risk.

The optimal timing of surgical intervention in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic regurgitation remains controversial. As per cardiac magnetic resonance assessment, early surgical treatment will be compared with conventional guideline-based strategy in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic regurgitation.

The purpose of this study is to assess the efficacy of sacubitril-valsartan compared to the combination of ARB/CCB on left ventricular remodeling in patients with chronic aortic valve regurgitation.

This study will evaluate the safety and performance of the ADAPT 3D - ALR in adult patients requiring replacement of aortic valve. 15 patients in one site in Belgium will all be treated with ADAPT 3D - ALR.

The objective of this study is to investigate safety and performance of the Free Margin Cusp sizer. The device will be used during aortic valve repair and sparing procedures as a caliper to measure the aortic valve free margin length at different stages of the procedure. The patient will be followed for one year clinically (at 1, 2, 6 and 12 months) and by echocardiography (at 6 and 12 months) to assess aortic valve function.

Prospective, multicenter, randomized trial.

The Paradigm study is a prospective, multicenter, single arm study to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the AVP III as a treatment for clinically significant PVLs following surgical implant of a mechanical or biological heart valve implanted in the aortic or mitral position.

To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the SAPIEN 3 (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, California) transcatheter heart valve implantation (TAVI) in Chinese patients with symptomatic severe calcific aortic stenosis who are considered at high risk for surgical valve replacement.
