Xeltis Bioabsorbable Pulmonary Valved Conduit Pivotal Study

Heart DefectCongenital

This is a multi-center prospective, single-arm, non-randomized, pivotal study that will continue to access the feasibility of the Xeltis Bioabsorbable Pulmonary Valved Conduit in subjects requiring right ventricular outflow tract correction or reconstruction due to congenital heart malformations.

Clinical Trial for the Validation of AR Based Neuronavigation System

Brain NeoplasmsCerebral Aneurysm3 more

The goal of this clinical trial is to test augmented reality (AR) based neuronavigation system in surgeries for patients of brain neoplasm or cerebral vascular disease. The main questions it aims to answer are: • AR based neuronavigation system can achieve accuracy that is not inferior to conventional intraoperative navigation system. Participants will participate the study after informed consent. When participants undergo surgery for their brain tumor, we will set up 2 types of neuronavigation, conventional navigation system and developed AR based neuronavigation system. Surgeon will plan and conduct surgery based on only conventional navigation system, but 3D errors at several selected points between two types of navigation will be measured and analyzed.

Digital Design for Maxillofacial Prosthetics

Prosthetic TreatmentCraniofacial Abnormalities1 more

This study will use a 3D scanner to print a 3D model or mold for each patient's prosthesis. The goal of this study to provide patients with a new, faster method of imaging and creating prostheses that preserves the quality of the current method while reducing time spent by both the patient and providers. Patients that are eligible will have a non-invasive 3D scanner (Artec Space Spider) to image the indicated areas of their head and face to help create their new prosthesis. Patients will come in for visits as needed to fit and adjust their prosthetic. Additionally, patients will be asked to complete questionnaires and have follow-up visits at certain time -points pre and post prosthetic completion.

Impact of NAVA Ventilation on Brain Oxygenation and Perfusion in Children With Congenital Heart...

Tetralogy of FallotHypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome3 more

Positive intra-thoracic pressures induced by mechanical ventilation can negatively impact right heart hemodynamics by restricting systemic venous return and increasing right ventricular afterload. These consequences may be detrimental in patients with a restrictive right ventricular physiology and in patients with single ventricle physiology. NAVA (Neurally Adjusted Ventilatory Assist) ventilation decreases intra thoracic pressures compared to conventional ventilation modes. Brain perfusion is both a hemodynamic indicator and a prognostic factor in cardiac postoperative care. Diffuse Correlation Spectroscopy (DCS) coupled with Near Infrared Spectroscopy (NIRS) is a new technology that allows monitoring, in addition to brain tissue oxygenation, changes in brain blood flow. This physiological study aims to evaluate the impact of NAVA mode ventilation on cerebral and systemic hemodynamics in post-operative cardiac surgery patients with preload dependant right ventricle or with passive venous return to the lungs . This prospective cross-over study will include 30 patients. Once stabilized in intensive care, patients will undergo 2 periods of ventilation in NAVA mode and conventional mode separated by a 30-minute washout period, in a random order. For each period the following information will be collected: changes in cerebral blood flow and cerebral oxygenation, hemodynamic parameters including cardiac output and oxygen transport and ventilatory parameters.

Study on the Construction and Application of Breastfeeding Behavior Intervention Program for Mothers...

Heart DefectsCongenital1 more

This study is a randomized block trial designed to evaluate the effectiveness of a breastfeeding behavioural intervention program for mothers of infants with congenital heart disease (CHD). The purpose of this study is to compare exclusive breastfeeding rates, changes in weight-for-age z-scores (ΔWAZ) and height-for-age z-scores (ΔHAZ), and maternal breastfeeding behaviour between the intervention group and the control group at 1, 3, and 6 months of age.

Nociception Level Index as a Verbal Tool of Pain in Children

Pediatric PatientsOrthopedic Surgery3 more

60 children under 6 years old, scheduled for orthopedic surgery for limb fracture or neuromuscular and bone deformities will be randomized by closed envelope method into two groups (n=30) either receiving standard pain management protocol or intraoperative NOL guided analgesia. Our study aims to evaluate the nociception monitor's effectiveness in providing adequate postoperative analgesia in pediatric patients. Besides, the difference between the amount of analgesic medication will be recorded. Data to be recorded are total intraoperative morphine and postoperative rescue analgesic consumption, NOL values, and FLACC scores.

Impact of CErebral Endovascular PROcedures on the Systemic Immune responSe Response

Cerebral Arterio-venous Malformation

In our ICU, it could notice that patients with cerebral arterio-venous malformation (AVM) treated with embolization develop more severe Ventilator Associated Pneumoniae (VAP) compare to other patients hospitalized for neurological diseases. The Dimethylsulfoxyde (DMSO), the solvent of the embolization implant, is known to have immune effect on vitro analysis. The investigator want to prove that exposition to embolization implant for a cerebral AMV modify the cytokines production involved the system immune's regulation.

Prehab for Adult Spinal Deformity Surgery

Spinal Deformity

Prehabilitation is defined as the process of enhancing patients' functional capacity and overall fitness to enable them to withstand a forthcoming stressor (e.g. surgery). Although there are different models of prehabilitation, multimodal prehabilitation is recommended to address the physical and psychological health outcomes prior to surgery. Multimodal prehabilitation commonly consists of exercise-training, nutritional, and psychological support. Evidence suggests that prehabilitation improves preoperative physical fitness and reduces postoperative complications and length of stay in patients undergoing major abdominal surgery. However, the evidence for the feasibility and effects in spinal deformity surgery are less understood. This study is a two arm, pilot randomized controlled trial to assess the feasibility of a multimodal prehabilitation program prior to surgery for spinal deformity in adults. Participant outcomes will be measured using standardized fitness testing, self-report questionnaires, and medical record reviews at baseline, one week preoperatively, and at 30 days postoperatively.

Fetoscopic Repair of Isolated Fetal Spina Bifida

Spina BifidaMyelomeningocele4 more

The purpose of this investigation is to evaluate maternal and fetal outcomes following fetoscopic repair of fetal spina bifida at the Johns Hopkins Hospital. The hypothesis of this study is that fetoscopic spina bifida repair is feasible and has the same effectiveness as open repair of fetal spina bifida, but with the benefit of significantly lower maternal and fetal complication rates. The fetal benefit of the procedure will be the prenatal repair of spina bifida. The maternal benefit of fetoscopic spina bifida repair will be the avoidance of a large uterine incision. This type of incision increases the risk of uterine rupture and requires that all future deliveries are by cesarean section. The use of the minimally invasive fetoscopic surgical technique may also lower the risk of preterm premature rupture of membranes and preterm birth compared to open fetal surgery. Finally, successful fetoscopic spina bifida repair also makes vaginal delivery possible.
