Active clinical trials for "Mitral Valve Insufficiency"

At present, the optimal treatment strategy for heart failure patients and moderate-to-severe (3+) or severe (4+) mitral regurgitation with a class IIa recommendation for CRT is uncertain.Whether these patents should also be treated for functional mitral regurgitation or with CRT also remains unclear. We therefore propose a randomized 2x2 factorial design in this patient population to understand the the impact of both CRT and transcatheter mitral valve repair with the MitraClip on their functional status and quality of life.

Multi center evaluation of the Millipede IRIS for treatment of clinically significant mitral regurgitation in subjects determined appropriate for mitral valve surgery.

The objective of the BOSS Study is to assess acute anatomical and geometric annular and ventricular changes that occur when strategically positioned an external inflatable chambers are applied to the outside of the heart.

Abstract Anaesthetic support for cardiac surgery significantly influences the course of the intraoperative period and the success of the postoperative period. Total intravenous anaesthesia and inhalation anaesthesia are the traditional methods of anaesthesia in cardiac surgery. However, there are few studies assessing the effectiveness of surgical aggression protection in cardiac surgery. Objectives: To study the effect of anesthetics on clinical outcome after mitral and aortic valve replacement in adults. Methods. The data of 75 patients operated in the Cardiosurgery Department of the Medical Center Hospital of the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Kazakhstan were included in the study. All patients underwent mitral, aortic valve replacement/plasty under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) conditions. All patients were divided into 3 groups according to the type of anaesthesia: the first (1) group patients anaesthetised with propofol (P), the second group with sevoflurane (S), and the last one is with isoflurane (I). To maintain anaesthesia in Group 1 propofol was used as anaesthetic in a dose of 6 mg/kg/h intravenously on perfusion. In Group 2 the anaesthetic used was sevoflurane in a dose of 1.7-1.9 MAC. Group 3 used isoflurane in the dose of 1.1-1.2 MAC as anaesthetic. Statistical analysis was done by the method of single factor analysis of variance and Kruskal Wallis criterion.

The purpose of this study is to determine if the study drug (TP10), which blocks complement release, can reduce such side effects of complement inflammation as chest pain or heart attacks and be taken safely in women who undergo cardiopulmonary bypass surgery.

Prospective single-arm study of the AccuCinch® Ventriculoplasty System in the treatment of mitral valve regurgitation through subvalvular mitral repair. Purpose: To demonstrate the safety, feasibility and potential efficacy of using the AccuCinch® Ventriculoplasty System to reduce mitral valve regurgitation through subvalvular mitral repair.

Transcatheter mitral valve repair in the form of MitraClip® is a safe and effective alternative to surgical mitral valve repair/replacement in patients with high operative morbidity and mortality risk. Successful MitraClip application depends on intraprocedural quantification of mitral regurgitation and left atrial pressure (LAP) monitoring. The pleth variability index (PVI) is a noninvasive, dynamic index based on analysis of the respiratory variations in the plethysmographic waveform recorded transcutaneously by the pulse oximeter. Studies demonstrate that PVI is accurate in predicting fluid responsiveness in mechanically ventilated adult patients. In this study, we wish to measure PVI during TMVR and correlate with invasive indices such as left atrial pressure (LAP) and stroke volume variation. Our study hopes to provide a real-time non-invasive alternative to invasive indices to better guide fluid management and improve hemodynamics.

Abstract Anaesthetic support for cardiac surgery significantly influences the course of the intraoperative period and the success of the postoperative period. Total intravenous anaesthesia and inhalation anaesthesia are the traditional methods of anaesthesia in cardiac surgery. However, there are few studies assessing the effectiveness of surgical aggression protection in cardiac surgery. Objectives: To study the effectiveness of body protection against surgical aggression by TIVA and inhalational anaesthesia in cardiac surgery. Materials and methods. The examination and treatment data of 89 patients were included in the study. All patients underwent coronary artery bypass grafting, mitral valve replacement/plasty, aortic valve replacement cardiopulmonary bypass conditions. The patients were divided into 2 groups according to the type of disease: the first (1) group with coronary heart disease. The second (2) group with valvular heart disease. There were 65 patients in the first group and 22 in the second. Both groups were divided into 3 subgroups according to the type of anaesthesia: patients anaesthetised with propofol, with sevoflurane, with isoflurane.

Abstract Troponin is one of the cardiac biomarkers and its high level correlates to high risk of cardiac myocytes damage. C-reactive protein (CRP) in cardiosurgery participates in the Systemic Inflammation Response Syndrome, and heart-lung apparatus is a powerful stimulator of the systemic inflammatory reaction. Objective: To assess effect of anesthetics on troponin I and СRP in mitral, tricuspid and aortic valve replacement/plastic in adult. Methods. Single-center prospective randomized controlled clinical study. A total of 95 patients were assigned randomly into three groups according to the type of anesthesia: the first group of 32 patients with propofol, the second group with sevoflurane - 32 patients, and the last - 31 patients were with isoflurane. Levels of the cardiac troponin I were calculated in ng/ml с using a portable fluorometric analyzer I-CHROMAII, manufacture of BoditechMedInc (South Korea). Normal range: <0.04 ng/ml. CRP concentration in plasma has been determined using a biochemical analyzer Biosystems BA-200 (Spanish company, Barcelona) according to the manufacturer's instructions. The normal level of CRP is less than 5 mg/l.

The study is a randomised controlled trial comparing two treatment strategies for patients with moderate functional ischaemic mitral regurgitation undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG). Patients will be randomised to receive either CABG alone or CABG plus mitral annuloplasty. The objective of the study is to determine if mitral annuloplasty in addition to CABG improves outcome in patients with moderate functional ischaemic mitral regurgitation.
