Active clinical trials for "Aortic Valve Insufficiency"

The treatment with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) of patients with small (≤23mm) surgical bioprostheses remains a challenge due to the increased transvalvular residual gradients and high rates of severe prosthesis-patient mismatch (PPM) following the procedure.

To date, no formal, randomized, prospective, head-to-head comparisons of surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) versus transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) have been undertaken in the severe aortic stenosis (AS) population with small aortic annuli. Objectives of the present study are to compare the hemodynamic performance (incidence of severe PPM and ≥ moderate AR) and clinical outcomes (death, stroke, major or life threatening bleeding) between TAVR and SAVR in patients with severe AS and small aortic annuli.

The objective of this trial is to confirm that the modifications to tissue processing, valve sterilization and packaging do not raise any new questions of safety and effectiveness in subjects who require replacement of their native or prosthetic aortic or mitral valve.

To collect information about treatment for severe Aortic Regurgitation (AR), which affects the aortic valve in the heart. Aortic regurgitation is a condition where aortic valve in the heart does not close tightly and allows some blood to leak back into the heart chamber. Symptoms of aortic regurgitation may include fatigue and shortness of breath. The preferred treatment for severe aortic regurgitation is aortic valve replacement surgery.

To collect information about treatment for symptomatic severe Aortic Regurgitation (AR), which affects the aortic valve in the heart. Aortic regurgitation is a condition where aortic valve in the heart does not close tightly and allows some blood to leak back into the heart chamber. Symptoms of aortic regurgitation may include fatigue and shortness of breath. The preferred treatment for severe aortic regurgitation is aortic valve replacement surgery.

In the past years a substantial shift away from mechanical heart valves occurred and bioprosthetic heart valves claimed majority of market shares irrespective of patients' age.This indicates that population with failed surgical bioprostheses requiring ViV-TAVI will grow significantly and therefore, meticulous prospective data collection is necessary for future analyses in order to better understand potential limitations of this procedure.

The main objective of this study is to assess the preliminary safety and effectiveness of the J-Valve TF System in patients with symptomatic severe native aortic regurgitation who are judged by a multi-disciplinary heart team to be eligible for the device and to be at high risk for open surgical aortic valve replacement.

Collect data on the safety and clinical performance of the Braile Biomédica® Bovine Pericardium Valvular Bioprosthesis

The study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in patients with severe native valve aortic insufficiency. It is a multicentre, observational cohort study. The primary endpoint consisted of a composite of all-cause death, disabling stroke, or rehospitalization for heart failure at 12 months postoperatively. According to previous research results and opinions of expert groups, the sample size was expected to be 76 cases.

The objective of this data-collection study is to retrospectively evaluate the safety and clinical performance of the Portico transthoracic aortic valve for Valve-in-Valve treatment of a failed aortic surgical bioprosthetic valve in patients who are considered at increased surgical risk for a redo surgical aortic valve replacement.
