The purpose of the Long term Evaluation of Cardiac Arrhythmias after Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (LOCATE) Registry is to perform long-term ambulatory monitoring of patients with severe aortic stenosis who undergo trans-catheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) and develop new onset conduction system abnormalities post-procedure that do not require urgent permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation. The primary objectives of this study are to assess the incidence of late onset heart block necessitating PPM implantation and to evaluate the incidence of new onset atrial fibrillation (AF) following TAVI. This study aims to provide valuable insights into the long-term cardiac health of TAVI patients and inform the development of improved treatment strategies for aortic stenosis patients with conduction system abnormalities.
The objective of ENVISION is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Navitor Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) System for treating patients with symptomatic, severe native aortic stenosis who are considered intermediate or low risk for surgical mortality.
The Keystone Heart TriGuard™ HDH is an aortic embolism deflection device intended to reduce the amount of embolic material that may enter the carotid, subclavian, and vertebral arteries during transcatheter heart valve implantation. The objective of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the TriGuard™ HDH embolic deflection device in patients undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), in comparison with an active control group of patients undergoing unprotected TAVI. Subjects with indications for TAVI and who meet study eligibility criteria will be randomized 2:1 to one of two treatment arms: 1) Intervention: Embolic protection device (TriGuard™) with transcatheter aortic valve implantation or 2) Control: Unprotected transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
The overall objective of this proposal is to examine the feasibility and accuracy of non-contrast magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) to comprehensively evaluate individuals referred for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI).
The study will evaluate all female patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter valve implantation with commercially available valves and delivery systems.
Implementation of Physical Therapy (PT) and Occupational Therapy (OT) pathway (initiation of services on Post procedure day #1 and continued daily with focus on education and activity progression) for all patients undergoing a transcatheter aortic value repair procedure began on December 2, 2014. Retrospective data was collected from The Society of Thoracic Surgeons/American College of Cardiology Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement Procedures (STS/ACC TVT, trademark) Registry - National database for Transcatherter Aortic Valve Replacement Procedures and included subjects from March 2012 through July 31, 2015. Patients included: s/p tAVR via transfemoral catheter approach, with or without minor intra or post procedure events (GI bleeds, minor access bleeds, afib, etc); Exclusions: Major events including stroke, pacemaker placement, other cardiovascular (CV) repair or surgery required, etc). Future data analysis will extend subjects to December 31, 2015 and annually.
The main objective of this study is to assess the preliminary safety and effectiveness of the J-Valve TF System in patients with symptomatic severe native aortic regurgitation who are judged by a multi-disciplinary heart team to be eligible for the device and to be at high risk for open surgical aortic valve replacement.
To evaluate the safety and feasibility of DurAVR™ THV System in the treatment of subjects with symptomatic severe native aortic stenosis.
The objective of this study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards SAPIEN X4 Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) in subjects who are at high or greater risk with a failing aortic bioprosthetic valve.
The objective of this study is to establish the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards SAPIEN X4 Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) in subjects with symptomatic, severe, calcific aortic stenosis (AS).
The purpose of this clinical study is to evaluate the acute safety and effectiveness of the next-generation Navitor (Portico™ NG) Transcatheter Aortic Heart Valve as assessed by the rate of all-cause mortality at 30 days and the rate of moderate or greater paravalvular leak at 30 days in a high or extreme surgical risk patient population to support CE (Conformité Européenne) Mark and FDA approval.
When the upper chambers of a person's heart receive or generate irregular electrical signals, it causes abnormal rhythm in the heartbeat. This is called atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation goes along with blood clots that may cause mainly strokes and less often other diseases, such as a heart attack. Some patients with atrial fibrillation have other heart disease, such as heart valves that may need to be replaced using catheters. Often doctors give patients drugs that reduce those blood clots. These are either vitamin K antagonist (VKA) or direct anticoagulants, such as edoxaban. In these patients, it is unclear which of the drugs is better for reducing stroke without increasing severe bleedings.
Frailty is a state of decreased physiologic reserves and vulnerability to stressors. Several tools exist to measure frailty, some based on physical tests and others on questionnaires, yet there is no agreement on which tool to recommend. This multi-center prospective cohort study is aimed at comparing various frailty assessment tools to determine which best predicts death or major complications after cardiac surgery or transcatheter intervention. The population of interest is elderly patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement. The frailty assessment tools under investigation include composite frailty scales, physical performance tests, muscle mass, and biomarker expression. The overall objective is to improve our ability to predict risk by measuring frailty using the optimal tool in elderly cardiovascular patients.
To determine the optimal technique and equipment for selective coronary engagement specifically following Evolut THV implantation using commissural alignment.
To assess whether a rivaroxaban-based anticoagulation strategy, following successful TAVR, compared to an antiplatelet-based strategy, is superior in reducing death or first thromboembolic events (DTE). To assess the primary bleeding events (PBE) of the rivaroxaban-based strategy compared to an antiplatelet-based strategy, following TAVR.
The goal of this study is to determine the short term safety (\<30 days) and efficacy (6 months) of the heterotopic implantation of the Edwards-Sapien XT valve in the inferior vena cava for the treatment of severe tricuspid regurgitation in patients who are inoperable or at a very high surgical risk for tricuspid valve replacement.
Open-label, prospective randomized comparison of Supra-annular valves (Medtronic Evolut Pro) vs. annular valves (Edwards Sapien Ultra) for small annuli (≤23 mm)
This study will demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards Lifesciences SAPIEN 3/SAPIEN 3 Ultra RESILIA Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) Systems in subjects with a dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) conduit or previously implanted valve in the pulmonic position with a clinical indication for intervention.
This study will confirm the safety and effectiveness of the Edwards Lifesciences SAPIEN XT Transcatheter Heart Valve (THV) System in patients with a dysfunctional right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) conduit with a clinical indication for intervention in a post-market setting.
