Serratus Posterior Superior Intercostal Plane Block in Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study aims to evaluate the effect of the serratus posterior superior intercostal plane (SPSIP) block on postoperative pain and opioid consumption in patients undergoing minimally invasive cardiac valve surgery via mini-thoracotomy.
Correlation of FFR and iFR With Cardiac PET Perfusion in Patients With Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis
Aortic valve stenosis (AS) affects 2-7% of persons \> 65 years, symptoms include: angina and dyspnea, dizziness and syncope. Coincidence of coronary artery disease (CAD), also presenting with angina and dyspnea, in patients with AS between 40 - 65% . Angina in AS caused by significant reduction of coronary flow …
Evaluation of the BMPR2-Activin Signaling Pathway in Group II Pulmonary Hypertension.
Previous data from our group showed reduced BMPR2 isoform A in pulmonary hypertension associated with left heart disease (PH-LHD) of valvular origin. Focusing on dysregulation of the BMPR2-activin pathway, a key regulator of vascular homeostasis, this project uses a multimodal approach combining molecular biology, advanced cardiac imaging, and histology. Its …
Atrial Appendage Micrograft Transplants to Assist Heart Repair After Cardiac Surgery
Ischemic heart disease (IHD) leads the global mortality statistics. Atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries hallmark IHD, drive hypoxia, and may rupture to result in myocardial infarction (MI) and death of contractile cardiac muscle, which is eventually replaced by a scar. Depending on the extent of the damage, dysbalanced cardiac workload …
Minimally Invasive Coronary Artery Bypass Supported by Cangrelor
The purpose of this study is to find out whether it is safe and practical to perform MIDCAB surgery (a minimally invasive heart bypass procedure) while patients receive a continuous cangrelor infusion during the operation. Cangrelor is a medicine that helps prevent blood clots and works quickly through a vein …
Heart Rate Regularization in Atrial Fibrilation and Heart Failure
The PACE-FIB trial is a multicentre, randomised, open-label clinical trial. Patients older than 18 years, with permanent AF, LVEF\>40%, average resting heart rate ≤ 110 beats per minute (bpm), at least one hospitalisation due to HF in the previous year and basal NT-proBNP level\>900 pg/ml will be randomised to either …
Cell Therapy and Myocardial Recovery in Heart Failure Patients Undergoing Left Ventricular Assist Device Support
The goal of CELL-VAD Pilot trial is to investigate a personalized stem cell therapy approach for patients with advanced non-ischemic chronic heart failure (NICM) who are supported by LVAD. In the clinical trial, the investigators aim to enroll 10 patients with NICM, scheduled for LVAD implantation. After successful LVAD implantation, …
The Impact of Atrial Pressure Change Before and After Combined Procedure
One-stop procedure combining catheter ablation (CA) and left atrial appendage closure (LAAC) has been a feasible treatment for patients with atrial fibrillation at high risk of stroke and/or bleeding. Although it could achieve considerable rhythm control and stroke prophylaxis, a number of patients has experienced progressive heart failure after the …
Bioimpedance Integration for Optimized Fluid Management in Decompensated Heart Failure
The goal of this clinical trial is to test whether using Bioimpedance Analysis (BIA) can help manage fluid levels in patients with heart failure who are admitted to the hospital with worsening symptoms. The main questions it aims to answer are: 1\. Does BIA-guided fluid management reduce the need for …
A Prospective, Observational, Single Centre Study to Assess the Feasibility of the Data Harvested by the Acorai Intracardiac Pressure Monitoring (ICPM) System in Predicting Prognosis in Patients Discharged From Hospital After Treatment for Acute Decompensated Heart Failure
Acorai is developing the Acorai Heart Monitor, a handheld electronic device for monitoring pressures inside the heart in a non-invasive manner, by placing the device on the chest of a patient. Currently these intracardiac pressures are measured in an invasive way, during a right heart catheterisation procedure. This procedure carries …
