Evaluation of the iFuse Bedrock Technique in Association With Posterior Lumbosacral Fusion With Iliac Fixation.
The purpose of this study is to describe the impact of the iFuse Bedrock technique to decrease post-operative pains in patients who underwent multilevel posterior lumbosacral fusion.
MRI to Predict Rejection and Failure in Transplant and Cardiomyopathy Patients
Overall Research Strategy of this protocol is to refine and validate noninvasive CMR imaging sequences with invasive hemodynamic and pathology results to create a comprehensive, noninvasive, radiation-reduced regimen for pediatric cardiomyopathy and cardiac transplant assessment. We were the first to perform MR-guided cardiac catheterization in US children, and have accumulated …
Prospective, Multicenter, Case-Control Analysis of the VersaTie Posterior Fixation System to Prevent Proximal Junctional Failure in Long Posterior Spinal Fusion Constructs for Adult Patients
Prospective, Multicenter, Case-Control Analysis of the VersaTie Posterior Fixation System to Prevent Proximal Junctional Failure in Long Posterior Spinal Fusion Constructs for Adult Patients
Rapid Absorbance-based Detection of Inner Cheek Cell Abnormalities Using Light Spectroscopy for Risk Evaluation of Lung Cancer to Enable Critical Decision Support in Targeted Patient Populations
Overview Sierra Medical is at the forefront of early detection of lung cancer by creating AIR-DS, a non-invasive early detection test. This innovative approach aims to significantly enhance the early identification of lung cancer, potentially catching it at its most treatable stages through a simple cheek swab. How it works …
ET1 Concentration, Metabolic Pathway Activation, and Pulmonary Blood Flow in Infants Undergoing Superior Cavo-Pulmonary Anastomosis
This is a novel preliminary study of biomarkers of pathologic pre-operative pulmonary vascular development, elevated pre-operative Pulmonary Vascular Resistance Index (PVRi), and complications associated with decreased post-operative pulmonary blood flow in single ventricle patients undergoing superior cavo-pulmonary anastomosis (SCPA). The study will utilize a combined targeted and untargeted approach to …
Patient-specific Planning of Minimally Invasive Brain Interventions Based on Vascular-hemodynamic Mapping
Endovascular procedures for treating brain aneurysms and arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) are becoming increasingly popular due to their less invasive nature and lower risk of complications. However, they still face challenges such as difficult catheter navigation and incomplete embolization. This study aims to improve the efficiency and safety of endovascular procedures …
Orthognathic Speech Pathology: Phonetic Contrasts of Patients With Dental Discrepancies Pre- and Post-Treatment Analyses
The investigators are studying how speech is effected by jaw and tooth position in jaw surgery patients. Eighty percent of our jaw surgery patients have speech pathologies, compared to five percent of the general population, but speech pathologists do not understand why. The investigators hypothesize that open bites and underbites …
DRug-coAted Balloon Compared With cuttinG balloON in Treatment of Arteriovenous Fistula Stenosis
The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the efficacy and safety of cutting balloons versus drug-coated balloons in treating venous stenosis of autologous arteriovenous fistulas.The main questions it aims to answer are: Will drug-coated balloons achieve a better CD-TLR rate compared to cutting balloons? What medical problems do …
AOrtic Surgery: Systemic Inflammatory Response Versus Sepsis
The goal of the prospective observational study is to evaluate the immunological background of inflammatory response often seen after open thoracic aortic surgery. Patients scheduled for this type of procedure will undergo a series of blood testing (preoperatively, and several times postoperatively). The blood samples will be used for a …
Congenital Lung Anomalies (CLA) Swiss Database
Congenital lung anomalies include different pathologies such as congenital cystic adenomatoid malformation, pulmonary sequestration, bronchial atresia, emphysema, bronchogenic cyst. They concern less than 1/10000 births and their physiopathological origin is still poorly understood. The main goal of this project is to pool the cases from different swiss centers on a …
