Effect of PCSK9 Inhibitors on Calcific Aortic Valve Stenosis
Calcific aortic stenosis (CAS) can cause severe adverse cardiac events, but there are currently no effective drugs that can prevent or delay the progression of the disease. In fact, aortic valve replacement remains the only treatment option. CAS has been shown to be associated with Lp(a), LDL-C and PCSK9. Several …
Comparison of Allegra vs Sapien Transcatheter Aortic Valves in Valve-In-Valve Indication
The VIVALL-2 study is a randomized trial to compare the self-expandable supra-annular Allegra and the balloon-expandable intra-annular Edwards transcatheter valve systems in patients with degenerated biological aortic surgical valve.
Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography in LF/LG Aortic Stenosis and Wild-type Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy
The goal of this prospective clinical study is improve the diagnosis of Low-flow low-gradient aortic stenosis (LF/LG AS), in patients with co-existing wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt). The main question it aims to answer is whether the classic dobutamine-stress echocardiography can be used to determine AS severity in patients with …
Impact of Beta Blockers on TAVI (BETA-TAVI)
This is a prospective, multicentre, investigator-initiated, randomized clinical trial clinical trial investigating the impact of beta-blockers administration among patients undergoing TAVI for severe aortic valve stenosis. Adults already receiving beta-blockers be assigned randomly in 1:1 ratio to either continue or withdraw the beta-blockers medication at least 72 hours before and …
Safety and Feasibility Study: Transcatheter Valve Repair in Severe Symptomatic Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation
The goal of this clinical trial is to evaluate the safety and technical success of the Tangent Tricuspid Annular Therapy System in patients with severe, symptomatic functional tricuspid regurgitation.
Comparison of Transcatheter Edge-to-edge Repair Using Echo Only with Echo Combined with X Ray for Mitral Regurgitation (ECHO-CLIP)
Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a common valvular heart disease in the elderly population, frequently associated with poor prognosis if not treated. Transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) has recently emerged as a popular strategy due to minimal invasiveness. What's more, previous studies, such as EVEREST II and COAPT study, have demonstrated its …
Preoperative Chest CT-imaging in Surgical Aortic Valve Replacement with or Without CABG
Rationale When determining the strategy for aortic valve replacement, echocardiography is still considered the golden standard (1). While pre-procedural MSCT is standard of care in TAVR patients, this is not yet part of routine clinical practice in SAVR patients. The researchers hypothesise that when atherosclerosis of the ascending aorta is …
Efficacy of Self-expandable and Balloon-expandable Valves in Patients With Ascending Aortic Dilation
This study evaluated the efficacy of self-expandable valves and balloon-expandable valves in patients with ascending aortic dilation who undergo transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
A Study to Obtain Imaging Data in 40 Patients Having Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI)
The aim of this study is to learn if the Computed Tomography scan (CT scan) and heart echo scan TransThoracic Echo scan (TTE or heart echo scan) taken before a Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) procedure can be used to predict how the new TAVI valve will perform in the …
Comparison of Self- and Balloon-expandable Valves in Patients With Ascending Aortic Dilation Undergoing Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement: The AAD-CHOICE
This study aimed at comparing the performance of self-expandable valves versus balloon-expandable valves in patients with ascending aortic dilation undergoing transcatheter aortic valve replacement.
