Overview

Patients who underwent Ross procedure with loose jacket technique will be enrolled in this study and undergo CT and MRI follow-up to compare between both modalities.

Eligibility

Inclusion Criteria:

  • All patients who underwent Ross procedure with loose jacket technique at Aswan Heart Centre, regardless of the indication and duration after surgery.
  • Patients should have survived until discharge and underwent at least one echocardiography with full data related to one or more anatomic subcomponents of the aortic root before surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Patients who have contraindication for conducting cardiac CT scan. For instance, dye sensitivity, pregnancy, CKD, in addition to patients who have factors that interfere with CT image quality as metallic objects within the chest (e.g. Pacemaker).
  • Patients who have contra-indication for conducting a safe MRI scan. For instance, metallic implants that are incompatible with MRI.
  • Patients who underwent Ross procedure with technique other than loose jacket.

How long does a clinical trial take place?

The duration of clinical trials varies. Some trials last weeks, some years, depending on the phase and intention of the trial.

Do I get compensated for taking part in clinical trials?

Compensation varies per trial. Some offer payment or reimbursement for time and travel, while others may not.
