ACURATE Neo™ AS Aortic Bioprosthesis for Implantation Using the ACURATE neoTM AS TF Transfemoral...
Aortic StenosisClinical trial aimed at evaluating the safety and performance of the ACURATE neo™ AS Aortic Bioprosthesis and ACURATE neo™ AS TF Transfemoral Delivery System for CE mark approval purposes.
EDWARDS INTUITY Valve System CADENCE-MIS Study
Aortic Valve DiseaseAortic StenosisThe study purpose is to compare the EDWARDS INTUITY valve system in a minimal invasive surgical approach (MIS) with any commercially available aortic bioprosthesis in standard full sternotomy surgical approach.
Anti-Thrombotic Strategy After Trans-Aortic Valve Implantation for Aortic Stenosis
Symptomatic Aortic StenosisEligible for Transcatheter Aortic Valve ReplacementATLANTIS is a multicenter, phase IIIb, prospective, open-label, randomized trial. The objective of this study is to demonstrate superiority of a strategy of anticoagulation with apixaban (Anti-Xa Group) as compared to the current standard of care in patients who have undergone a successful TAVI procedure. The randomization is stratified according to the presence or not of a mandatory indication for anticoagulation for a reason other than the TAVI procedure (e.g. atrial fibrillation or DVT/PE).
Changes in Cardiac Deformation Following Physiologic Alterations and Inotropic Support.
Heart FailureDiastolic4 moreThe investigators want to compare the effects of two drugs, levosimendan and milrinone, on cardiac muscle, both in terms of contractility and relaxation. Half of the participants will be randomized to each drug. The effects will be measured through echocardiographic deformation analyses. Since deformation analyses could be dependent on different loading conditions of the heart, a second purpose of the study is to investigate the changes on deformation parameters after applied changes in preload and afterload, but also heart rate.
A Study Evaluating the Effects of Ataciguat (HMR1766) on Aortic Valve Calcification
Aortic Valve StenosisThe primary objective of the current study is to determine whether Ataciguat (HMR1766) slows progression of valve calcification in patients with moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis. Secondary and tertiary objectives are to determine whether Ataciguat slows progression of aortic valve function, reduces systemic inflammation, and prevents left ventricular dysfunction in patients with moderate calcific aortic valve stenosis.
CoreValve® System Australia/New Zealand Clinical Study
Aortic Valve StenosisTo evaluate the performance, efficacy and safety of the percutaneous implantation of the CoreValve® prosthetic aortic valve in patients with severe symptomatic native aortic valve stenosis that have an elevated surgical risk
PREVAIL-TA: Placement of Aortic Balloon Expandable Transcatheter Valves Trial (Europe)
Aortic Valve StenosisA single arm, prospective multicenter non-randomized confirmatory clinical trial evaluating the Edwards SAPIEN XT™ transcatheter heart valve (model 9300TFX; "study valve"), the next generation Ascendra™ transapical delivery system, and crimper accessories.
Clinical Evaluation of MDT-2111 in Subjects With Symptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis
Aortic Valve StenosisThe primary objective of the present trial is to demonstrate the effectiveness and safety of the MDT-2111 in the treatment of symptomatic severe aortic stenosis in subjects deemed difficult for surgical operation.
REpositionable Percutaneous Replacement of Stenotic Aortic Valve Through Implantation of Lotus™...
Aortic Valve StenosisAortic Valve Calcification1 moreThis is a prospective, single-arm feasibility study designed to assess the acute safety and performance of the Lotus Valve System for transcatheter aortic valve replacement in symptomatic patients with calcified aortic valve stenosis and who are at high risk for surgical intervention.
Medtronic CoreValve REDO Study
Aortic Valve StenosisThe proposed investigation is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized study to evaluate the immediate benefits (at discharge and at 30 days) in terms of performance and safety of the implantation of the Medtronic CoreValve PAV in a failing aortic bioprosthesis. In addition, the study aims to evaluate the performance and the safety of the implantation of the Medtronic CoreValve PAV in a failing aortic bioprosthesis at subsequent annual follow-ups out to 48 months post procedure. These objectives will be achieved through the following endpoints: Primary safety endpoint - Composite of Major Adverse Events Primary performance endpoint - Technical and procedural success at discharge Patient Population: Eligible subjects will be at least 75 years old, presenting with a failing aortic bioprosthesis (stenotic, incompetent or mixed) including homograft or stented or stentless heterograft, considered poor surgical candidates and necessitating repeat aortic valve replacement. Up to 20 patients will be included in up to four hospitals.
