Active clinical trials for "Aortic Valve Disease"

The main purpose of this study is to define the complex genetic and pathogenic basis of thoracic aortic aneurysm (TAA) and other forms of aortopathy and/or aortic valve disease by identifying novel disease-causing genes and by identifying important genetic modifiers for aortic and aortic valve disease severity.

The aim of this study is to evaluate the rate and anatomy of the aortic wall and leaflet calcification of the FS prosthesis implanted as full root in patients younger than 60 years compared to a stented bioprostheses (Perimount Magna Ease, PM). A 3D CT scan will be used to assess the calcification score and to determine the relationship between calcification and aortic valve leaflet.

The Chinese Bicuspid Aortic Valve (BAV) Ultrasound imaging cohort study is a Chinese BAV ultrasound imaging cohort study. At present, a retrospective study cohort involving more than 30 hospitals has been established. The prospective multi-center study of BAV is expected to include and follow up 200 outpatients and inpatients with BAV. The clinical, ultrasound imaging and treatment parameters of the patients are collected and the patients are followed up for 2 years. To analyze the prognostic characteristics of BAV patients and establish a Chinese BAV database. The primary endpoint was all-cause death, and the secondary endpoints were heart failure, angina, severe aortic stenosis, severe aortic insufficiency, ascending aortic diameter ≥50mm, and surgery (surgical and interventional). According to the different pathological types of aortic valve in different types of BAV, ultrasound imaging was used to evaluate the different forms of valvular leaflet lesions and prognosis. Finally, it provides a basis for the prognosis, treatment method, treatment timing and treatment plan selection of BAV patients, and lays a foundation for the mechanism study of BAV arterial lesions and the establishment of risk model for the prognosis of BAV patients.

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has became an important treatment of severe aortic stenosis (AS). Several randomized clinical trials showed that TAVR was non-inferior or superior to surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR). However, many different issues have emerged: TAVR in younger patients? valve leaflet thrombosis? transcatheter valve durability? coronary reaccess after TAVR? TAVR in bicuspid aortic valve? TAVR in aortic regurgitation? etc. Hence, a prospective, multicenter database is created to provide the real-word data for these questions.

This study aims to identify the molecular genetic causes of the variability in development of calcific aortic valve disease in bicuspid and tricuspid aortic valves and their associated aortic dilation.

Multicenter, global, prospective, non-randomized, interventional, post-market trial. All subjects enrolled will receive an Abbott Valved Graft device.

This study is a multicenter cohort study including patients diagnosed with aortic valve disease during hospitalization, including aortic insufficiency and aortic valve stenosis. The primary outcome of the study was all-cause death, and the secondary outcome was cardiovascular events. Through follow-up observation, the prognostic risk factors of patients with aortic disease were evaluated, and a prognostic model was constructed to guide clinical decision-making.

• The aim of 3DP-FAST study is to analyze the accuracy of replicating cardiovascular anatomical structures using different techniques and to evaluate the feasibility of 3D printed models of aortic stenosis in guiding TAVI procedure. By conducting a comparative analysis of measurements achieved on CCTA images versus measurements obtained with a specialized projection platform by photogrammetry vs 3D printed models of various aortic valvular and perivalvular structures will be evaluated the accuracy of each step of image dataset processing. Furthermore, the study will evaluate the rate of valvular leak or peri-procedural complications such as embolic events or atrio-ventricular conduction block based on coronary computed tomography angiographic and ECG assessment at 1 year after enrollment.

This PAS is an observational, non-randomized, multi-center, single arm, clinical study to evaluate long term safety and effectiveness of the SJM™ Masters Series Hemodynamic Plus (HP) 15mm aortic mechanical heart valve (15 AHPJ-505) as a replacement device for pediatric patients with a diseased, damaged, or malfunctioning aortic valve.

Objectives Primary objective: To determine if rivaroxaban (Xarelto) is feasible and safe for prevention of major complications in patients undergoing a mechanical aortic heart valve replace-ment. Secondary objectives: To identify the value of molecular markers suitable for monitoring of anticoagulation effectiveness of rivaroxaban and its correlation with transcranial Doppler emboli count in patients undergoing a mechanical aortic heart valve replacement. Design This is a prospective, open-label phase 2 pilot study with independent evaluation of all outcomes and a historical control group. Number of patients 30 in experimental group (patients in the center's registry database serve as control group). Main eligibility criteria All patients between 18 and 70 years old receiving a mechanical aortic valve replacement with a pre-operative left ventricular ejection fraction >/=35%. Interventions Experimental: Rivaroxaban 20mg p.o., once daily, for six months Historical control: Phenprocoumon (Marcoumar) p.o., once daily Outcomes Primary outcome: Composite outcome of prosthetic thrombus requiring reoperation/intervention, major bleeding, visceral ischemia, stroke, pulmonary embolism, myocardial infarction or death from any cause 180 days after intervention. Secondary outcomes: Each component of the composite outcome plus serious adverse events. Prosthetic thrombus requiring reoperation/intervention plus non-clinically relevant thrombi will be used as an additional safety outcome. Molecular markers suitable for monitoring the effectiveness of rivaroxaban.
