To provide proof-of-concept data on the efficacy/safety of transplanting HCV positive donor grafts in HCV negative heart recipients who are currently listed.
Prior studies have shown that left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation commonly results in right ventricular failure (RVF). Right ventricular dysfunction and failure after LVAD implantation is known to increase morbidity and mortality and contribute to longer post-implant hospital length of stay. Since RVF is difficult to predict and can …
This is a pre-market clinical investigation aiming to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of Microport CardioFlow VitaFlow II Transcatheter Aortic Valve System for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis.
The trial aims to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of LuX-Valve transcatheter tricuspid valve and delivery system which are intended to use in symptomatic patients with severe tricuspid regurgitation and high surgical risk.
The purpose of this ABT NG DES 48 study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ABT NG DES 48 EECSS in improving coronary artery luminal diameter in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) due to de novo native coronary artery long lesions.
Different trials have shown that fractional flow reserve (FFR) could successfully guide revascularization in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). It is conceivable that a similar revascularization guidance could be useful also for surgical revascularization i.e. coronary by-pass graft (CABG). Experience learns that grafts placed on vessels with hemodynamically non-significant …
The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of supraphysiologic oxygen (hyperoxia) on myocardial function in anaesthetized patients with coronary artery disease.
Every 3 minutes a new case of diabetes is diagnosed in Canada, mostly type 2 diabetes (T2D) increasing the risk for heart disease. T2D and heart disease share many common risk factors such as aging, obesity and unhealthy lifestyle. Paradoxically however, while lowering blood LDL, commonly known as "bad cholesterol", …
To collect information about treatment for symptomatic severe Aortic Regurgitation (AR), which affects the aortic valve in the heart. Aortic regurgitation is a condition where aortic valve in the heart does not close tightly and allows some blood to leak back into the heart chamber. Symptoms of aortic regurgitation may …
The purpose of our project is to better understand the characteristics of the young patients with coronary artery disease presenting for cardiac catheterization at our institution and to put forth a program to optimize their risk factors with a focus on gender differences. We will assess traditional and non-traditional risk …
