Active clinical trials for "Aortic Valve Stenosis"

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.

Due to a lack of therapeutic options, the diagnosis of cardiac (wt)-ATTR amyloidosis was for a long time overshadowed by other diseases and therefore was or still is often diagnosed with considerable delay. The aim of the study is to estimate the prevalence of cardiac amyloidosis among patients with mild-to-moderate aortic valve stenosis (AS). Besides that a screening algorithm based on echocardiographic parameters will be developed, to facilitate the early detection of cardiac amyloidosis.

The concomitant presence of cardiac amyloidosis (CA) in patients with aortic stenosis (AS) may challenge the estimation of stenosis degree. In patients with dual pathology (AS + CA) the most frequent AS hemodynamic profile is paradoxical low-flow, low-gradient AS. In this setting, estimating stenosis degree with cardiac ultrasound may be challenging and aortic valve calcium score estimation by cardiac CT is a valuable exam. Preliminary findings from small case series showed that patients with severe AS and CA presented less valvular calcium deposition compared to patients with severe AS alone. On this basis, confirmation of these findings would have a huge clinical impact on diagnosis, choice of treatment strategy and understanding of the pathophysiology of these patients. The aim of the study is to study the correlation between valvular calcium score (assessed by EKG-gated CT) and effective orifice area (assessed through echocardiogram) according to cardiac amyloidosis presence (in the overall population and among hemodynamic phenotypes of cardiac amyloidosis). As secondary endpoints the study will sought to assess TAVI/SAVR efficacy, procedural complications, in-hospital mortality, all-cause death and heart failure hospitalization at 1 year, according to absence or presence of CA.

The purpose is to evaluate the safety, effectiveness and performance of Venus-Vitae Transcatheter Heart Valve System in patients with severe aortic stenosis.

The goal of this study is to learn about the effectiveness of TAP block for pain relief after vascular surgery on the abdominal aorta. The main question the investigators are looking to answer is whether the TAP block lowers the dose of opioid required after abdominal aortic surgery.

The purpose of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Prizvalve Pro™ transcatheter aortic valve system in the treatment of patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at high risk of surgery or who are not suitable for surgery.

This study aims to identify and assess new CMR techniques that can improve current CMR protocols.

The purpose of this study is to help understand how the replacement valve functions over time, both at rest and during exercise.

Aortic valve sclerosis (aortic valve thickening and calcification without pressure gradient) is one of the most common valvular abnormalities in the Western world. Per year, about 1.8-1.9% of these patients develop aortic valve stenosis which will eventually be treated by TAVI (Transcatheter aortic valve implantation). The purpose of this study is to collect and monitor ongoing safety and performance clinical data of the ACURATE neo2™ aortic bioprosthesis and the ACURATE neo2™ transfemoral delivery system, hereafter referred to as the ACURATE neo2™ and transfemoral delivery system in the context of an observational investigator initiated trial (IIT).

The objective of this study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards SAPIEN X4 Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) in subjects who are at high or greater risk with a failing aortic bioprosthetic valve.
