The objective of the study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the JenaValve Pericardial TAVR system when treating patients with aortic regurgitation. Aortic Regurgitation is a condition that develops when the heart's aortic valve does close tightly, therefore the blood leaks back into the heart chamber. The JenaValve Pericardial TAVR system will…
TReatment for ImmUne Mediated PathopHysiology (TRIUMPH) is a multi-center, three-arm clinical trial of immunosuppressive therapy for children with acute liver failure. This is a double-blind study, so the study doctors and participants will not know to which arm the participants are assigned. The study will determine if corticosteroids or equine anti-…
The high incidence and variety of conduction disturbances post-TAVR represents a major challenge in the periprocedural management of TAVR recipients. Despite the growing body of knowledge on this topic, the large variability in the management of these complications has translated into a high degree of uncertainty regarding the most appropriate treatment of…
The purpose of this research study is to determine if an investigational drug, VS-01, will help in the treatment of acute-on-chronic liver failure (ACLF) compared to supportive care (standard of therapy). ACLF is a potentially life-threatening condition characterized by a group of signs that occur together (syndrome) in patients with a late stage of…
This prospective, multicenter trial is looking at the investigative device called the ACURATE Transcatheter Aortic Valve System for TAVR to see if it is safe and effective in treating patients with severe symptomatic native aortic stenosis. The ACURATE Transcatheter Aortic Valve System for TAVR is designed for iliofemoral access and delivery of a self-…
Aortic stenosis (AS) or narrowing of the arteries remains one of the most common valvular diseases in the Western population requiring intervention. The deterioration of the aortic valve is more common in the older population and usually along with coronary artery disease (CAD) requires the need for treatment. This is a study that is collecting safety and…
This is a prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single-arm, open-label clinical study, sponsored by Pi-Cardia. Fifteen (15) patients with symptomatic severe Aortic Stenosis (narrowing of the aortic valve) who are considered operable but are not recommended by the heart team for immediate treatment with surgical or transcatheter aortic valve replacement…
The study is to determine whether aortic valve replacement is helpful for patients who have moderate-severe, calcific, aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the aortic heart valve, where calcium has attached to the valve surface, resulting in obstructed blood flow) and do not have symptoms. Subjects will be randomly assigned, l to one of two groups: (1) Treatment…
The study is to determine whether aortic valve replacement is helpful for patients who have severe, calcific, aortic stenosis (a narrowing of the aortic heart valve, where calcium has attached to the valve surface, resulting in obstructed blood flow) and do not have symptoms.
The objective of this study is to collect outcome data on valve performance and a pre-specified TAVR care pathway. Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been shown to be a safe and effective treatment for patients with severe aortic stenosis who are at extreme, high, or intermediate surgical risk. Since CoreValveTM became commercially approved…
This study plans to learn more about a device called the Cefaly and if it is effective for treating migraine attacks. This device is approved by the Food and Drug Administration(FDA) for the prevention of episodic migraines, but clinical data has not yet been collected on its effectiveness in treating migraine attacks.
This study is for patients who have severe migraine headaches that might be a result of a hole in the heart wall called a Patent Foreman Ovale, or PFO. It is known that as many as 40% of patients with migraine headaches also have a PFO. It is not well understood how the two are related, or how having a hole in the heart wall could cause headaches. In this…
