Preventive Catheter Ablation for Ventricular arrhythmiaS in Patients With End-sTage Heart faiLure
CASTLE-VT is a randomized evaluation of prophylactic ablative treatment of arrhythmogenic ventricular scar in patients referred for HTx evaluation and diagnosed with ICM. Ablation will be performed with the use of a substrate-based approach in which the myocardial scar is mapped and ablated while the heart remains predominantly in sinus …
Induction Chemoimmunotherapy Combined With Chemoradiotherapy in Esophageal Cancer
Although unprecedented advances have been made in the field of esophageal cancer in recent decades, the prognosis for patients with locally advanced esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remains extremely poor, accounting for 30-40% of overall survival at 5 year. In recent years, multimodal treatments have proven to be an appropriate …
A Prehabilitation Program for Frail Patients Undergoing Cardiac Surgeries/Procedures
The purpose of this study is to develop and evaluate a frailty-specific prehabilitation program for patients awaiting cardiac surgeries/procedures. The program aims to improve functional capacity, frailty level, cardiac-related physical functioning, health-related quality of life (HRQoL), psychological distress, major adverse cardiovascular and cerebral events (MACCE), hospital length of stay, and …
Promoting Sleep to Alleviate Pain - Arthroplasty
PROSAP-A is a perioperative randomized, controlled trial with a 12-month follow-up period after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) or total hip arthroplasty (THA), aiming to investigate both acute and long-term postoperative effects of preoperative sleep-promotion. Participants with clinically significant insomnia symptoms will be randomized to a brief, hybrid version of cognitive …
Optimizing Patient-centred Outcomes Using Opioid Minimization Strategies: The OPUS Anesthesia Pilot Trial
Up to 40% of patients experience suboptimal recovery in the days following major surgery, limiting their return to functional independence. Few preventive interventions exist, but intravenous dexmedetomidine and lidocaine administered during general anesthesia represent simple strategies that may significantly impact recovery and other patient-centred outcomes after surgery. The goal of …
COLLISION RELAPSE Trial
The primary objective is to demonstrate superiority of neoadjuvant systemic therapy followed by repeat local treatment as compared to upfront repeat local treatment in patients with at least one locally treatable recurrent CRLM in the absence of extrahepatic disease.
GLS in Difficult CPB Weaning
The goal of this observational study is to learn whether global longitudinal strain (GLS), measured by echocardiography, can predict difficulty separating from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) in adults undergoing elective cardiac surgery. The main questions it aims to answer are: Can preoperative GLS measurement predict difficult separation from CPB? Are GLS …
Improving Cardiac Rehabilitation Exercise Using Target Heart Rate Trial
The goal of this clinical trial is to compare two types of exercise prescriptions in cardiac rehabilitation eligible older adults (60 years or older) with heart disease. The investigators found in a single site pilot trial (insert NCTxxx) that one exercise prescription was better and are now repeating this study …
Intraoperative Paravertebral Block and Postoperative Complications
This study aims to evaluate the clinical association between intraoperative paravertebral block and the reduction of postoperative complications following thoracic surgery.
Prevention of Edema After Coronary Artery Bypass Graft by Customized Pressure-guided Elastic Bandages
The study aimed to assess the efficacy of customized pressure-guided elastic bandages (CPG-EB) in preventing postoperative edema and complications in Coronary Artery Bypass Graft (CABG) patients. While compression therapy, like compressive stockings, has benefits in preventing edema, concerns about affordability persist. CPG-EB provides optimal sub-bandage pressure, proven effective in venous …
