5 Clinical Trials for Various Conditions
The MASA Valve Early Feasibility Study (MVEFS) multi-site interventional clinical trial within the United States of America with each center following a common protocol.The objective of the trial is to evaluate the safety and probable benefit of MASA Valve in the indicated subset of patients requiring Right Ventricular Outflow Tract Reconstruction (RVOTR). As an early feasibility study, the purpose is determine the feasibility of success of the device in order to gather early data towards a future pivotal study and/or regulatory clearance submission.
Patient-specific, 3D printed models have been utilized in preoperative planning for many years. Among researchers and clinicians, there is a perception that preoperative exposure to 3D printed models, derived from patient images (CT or MRI), aid in procedural planning. 3D printed models for heart surgery have the potential to improve a clinician's preparedness and therefore may reduce surgically-related morbidity and mortality. This randomized clinical trial aims to evaluate whether pre-procedural planning of surgeons exposed to a patient-specific 3D printed heart model will decrease cardiopulmonary bypass time, morbidity, and mortality.
This clinical trial is studying the use of different levels of oxygen exposure during and after cardiopulmonary bypass in eligible infants to learn about its safety during heart surgery. In addition to having the various doses of oxygen, participants will also have blood samples, ultrasounds of the head, and brain wave patterns monitored. The hypotheses of this trial are: * that there will be no difference with regards to adverse events between the infants in the normoxia group compared to the infants in the standard of care group * there will be a significant difference in the measured partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) values between the two treatment groups. * the use of normoxia during cardiopulmonary bypass and in the immediate post-operative period will result in clinically significant decrease in oxidative stress as measured by thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) after cardiac surgery
This study will investigate Ebstein's anomaly, a congenital abnormality of the tricuspid valve of the heart and try to identify the genetic origins of the disease. Adults and children 2 years of age and older with Ebstein's anomaly and healthy volunteers may be eligible for this study. Participants undergo the following procedures: * Blood tests: Three tube of blood will be collected, with the total amount limited to about half a teaspon for each two pounds of body weight. * Saliva sample collection: A small amount of saliva is collected by spitting into a sterile container. * Oral (cheek) swab: Cells are collected from the mouth using a soft brush to swab the inside lining of the cheek. * Electrocardiogram: The electrical activity of the heart is recorded using electrodes placed on the chest. * Echocardiogram: Heart function is assessed using ultrasound.
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.
