Cell Therapy With Treg Cells Obtained From Thymic Tissue (thyTreg) to Prevent Rejection in Heart Transplant Children
The investigators developed a protocol to isolate Treg cells from thymic tissue (thyTreg) discarded in pediatric cardiac surgeries. After completing the pre-clinical studies, the investigators have initiated a phase I/II clinical trial to test the safety and efficacy of the adoptive transfer of autologous thyTreg to prevent rejection in heart …
Precision Medicine in the Management of Heart Transplant Recipients
The goal of this clinical trial is to demonstrate that a multiparametric approach, based on the integration of biomolecular, histological, imaging, and clinical information, along with the use of machine learning methods, can identify among heart transplant patients those at higher risk of rejection, infectious events, and chronic graft dysfunction. …
Study of Organ Perfusion in Heart Transplantation in Children
The goal of this prospective randomized single blind multicenter phase II study is to compare organ perfusion with Custodiol-N and Custodiol in heart transplantation in children of all ages (birth to \<18 years) being listed on the waiting list for heart transplantation. The main question it aims to answer is: …
Haemoadsorption During Heart Transplantation
To investigate whether the use of haemoadsorption (HA) on cardiopulmonary bypass during heart transplantation (HTX) has an effect on circulating cytokine levels for the first 120 hours after HTX and induces a decreased inflammatory response, increased anti-inflammatory response or immunosuppressive response. Additionally, the influence of HA on primary graft dysfunction, …
METABolic Deterioration in HTX Determines Outcomes
METAB-HTX is a prospective, longitudinal cohort study evaluating cardiac and systemic metabolism in heart transplant recipients.
Post-Surgery Extracorporeal Life Support
Extracorporeal Life Support (ECLS) may provide pulmonary and circulatory support for patients with acute heart failure refractory to conventional medical therapy. However, indications and effectiveness of ECLS engagement post-surgery remains a concern. The investigators sought to analyze indications, modality and outcomes of PS-ECLS, to identify predictors of early and midterm …
A National Swedish Study Evaluating Dd-cfDNA for as a Diagnostic Biomarker for Rejection Surveillence in Heart Transplantation
The SweD-HTx-study is an observational, multicenter cohort study including adult HTx recipients from Skåne University Hospital (Lund), Sahlgrenska University Hospital (Gothenburg), and Karolinska University Hospital (Stockholm). The aim of the study is to establish a robust, nationwide protocol for dd-cfDNA-based rejection monitoring in Swedish HTx recipients and to enhance our …
Myocardial Injury After Noncardiac Surgery (MINS) in Lumbar Surgery Patients
The aim of this study is to evaluate the incidence of myocardial injury after noncardiac surgery (MINS) in patients undergoing lumbar surgery, and to investigate the associated risk factors.
Exercise MRI to Evaluate Cardiorespiratory Fitness in Children With Heart Disease
There are many barriers to heart-healthy lifestyles in pediatric patients with acquired and congenital heart disease. Investigators want to further understand how participants heart and skeletal muscles work together during exercise and evaluate the impact on cardiac function. To do this, the investigators will use magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) to …
Hypertonic Saline Solution to Prevent Acute Kidney Injury After Heart Transplantation
The goal of this study is to evaluate if hypertonic saline solution can prevent or attenuate acute kidney injury after heart transplantation in the early postoperative phase.
