Calcification of Aortic ValveAortic Valve StenosisThis is a prospective, randomized, comparative, clinical trial conducted by Wuhan Union Hospital that aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of folic acid compared to placebo in patients with calcific aortic valve disease with mild aortic valve stenosis.
Pilot Trial: the Safety and Feasibility of Losartan for Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
Pulmonary Vein StenosisChildrenThis pilot study evaluates the safety and feasibility of losartan in pediatric patients with pulmonary vein stenosis. It is an open label single arm interventional study. The patient population involves pediatric patients with stenosis in 2 or more pulmonary veins. Patients will be given losartan for 1 year. Outcomes include measures of safety/adverse events and progression of pulmonary vein stenosis.
Retrospective Study of the Uni-Graft® K DV Patch in the Clinical Routine
Femoral Artery StenosisIliac Artery Stenosis1 moreUni-Graft® K DV Patch is marketed in Europe since 1999 for reconstructive interventions of the deep femoral, femoral and iliac artery and was also indicated for carotid interventions until 01/2020. Previous studies focused on the clinical performance of different patch materials used for patch angioplasty in different indications, without specifying the product or manufacturer. Thus, it is not surprising that there is a limited amount of published literature available describing the use of the Uni-Graft® K DV Patch in the clinical routine. Therefore, the aim of the present non-interventional study (NIS) is to close this gap by collecting and evaluating existing safety and performance data documented in the clinical routine especially during the application of the Uni-Graft® K DV Patch.
Anticoagulation Using Rivaroxaban on Top of Aspirin in Intracranial Atherostenosis Stenosis
Ischemic StrokeIntracranial Atherosclerosis1 moreThe primary goal of the clinical trial is to test the effect of oral rivaroxaban plus aspirin in patients with recent stroke/ transient ischemic attack (TIA) caused by intracranial artery stenosis. Participants will be divided into 2 groups to receive either oral rivaroxaban plus aspirin or oral clopidogrel plus aspirin. The main question it aims to answer is whether the experimental group (oral rivaroxaban plus aspirin) is superior to the control group ( oral clopidogrel plus aspirin) to lower recurrent stroke/TIA or death in these patients during 1 year of follow-up.
Effectiveness of Intermittent Bladder Catheterization (IBC) in Reducing Recurrence of Urethral Stricture...
Urethral StrictureThe goal of this randomized controlled trial is to To assess the effectiveness of intermittent bladder catheterization (IBC) in reducing the recurrence of urethral stricture among females in tertiary care hospital, Lahore. All the patient who have undergone urethral dilation by urologist will be divided into two groups i.e. intervention group and control group. In control group already diagnosed cases of urethral stenosis who have undergone urethral dilatation will be followed fortnightly for AUA symptoms scoring for urinary complaints and urethral catheterization with nelton 14 Fr to exclude urethral stricture recurrence. In intervention group, researcher will explain the patient about the intermittent catheterization technique and give the practical demonstration for better patient understanding and make correction in patient's technique of intermittent bladder catheterization. Patient will be followed from the day of recruitment in the study after every 02 weeks by the researcher for 2 successive months. In every follow up session, assessment of the urinary complaints via AUA scoring, review of patient's technique of urethral catheterization in intervention group, and each patient's adherence to the intermittent bladder catheterization (IBC) will be noted.
Effects of Pioglitazone in Calcific Aortic Valve Disease
Calcification of Aortic ValveAortic Valve StenosisThis is a prospective, randomized, comparative, clinical trial conducted by Wuhan Union Hospital that aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of pioglitazone compared to placebo in patients with calcific aortic valve disease with mild aortic valve stenosis.
CT-evaluation of Coronary Ostia Height After Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement.
Heart Valve DiseasesAortic Valve Stenosis11 moreThe goal of this interventional, single-center study is to demonstrate if there is a change in the coronary ostia height after surgical aortic valve replacement and if it depends on the type of prosthesis or surgical technique used. The study involves patients undergoing elective surgical aortic valve replacement with a bioprosthesis. Participants enrolled will undergo a CT scan before and after surgery (at least 90 days after surgery) to analyze coronary ostia height.
BIOFLOW-china Post-marketing Study (BIOTRONIK)
In-Stent Stenosis (Restenosis) of Coronary Artery StentNative Coronary Artery StenosisThis trial uses prospective, retrospective, observational, non-blinded, multi-center, single-arm, post-marketing hospital data collection and research methods. The goal of this study is to assess the safety of BIOTRONIK Orsiro Sirolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in the Chinese patient population after marketing in China.
Allogeneic Left Atrial and Pulmonary Vein Transplant for Pulmonary Vein Stenosis
Pulmonary Vein StenosisThis is a prospective, single center, safety and feasibility trial to evaluate the transplantation of the left atrium and pulmonary veins in patients with pulmonary vein stenosis. Consented patients will be listed for transplantation. Once a suitable donor has been identified, the left atrium, pulmonary veins and complete lung block will be harvested from the donor and transported to Boston Children's Hospital as is the procedure for routine lung transplantation patients. The left atrium and pulmonary veins will be transplanted into the recipient. The recipient will receive the normal immunosuppression protocol used for heart transplantation. This pilot study will include 5 patients.
Pedicle Osteotomy for Stenosis Trial
Lumbar Spinal StenosisSpondylolisthesis2 moreThis is a pivotal Randomized Clinical trial to compare the safety and effectiveness of the Pedicle Lengthening Osteotomy Procedure with implantation of the Altum® Device to open surgical decompression and Transforaminal Lumbar Interbody Fusion (TLIF) in patients with symptomatic, one or two level lumbar spinal stenosis (LSS) and one level grade I degenerative spondylolisthesis requiring surgical treatment.
