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…
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…
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…
RESEARCH VOLUNTEERS: Healthy male and female (age 21-60) MARIJUANA SMOKERS needed to study effects of marijuana on brain activity and decision-making. The study involves 2-3 outpatient visits and a 5-day/5-night stay at the NYS Psychiatric Institute and includes Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. Compensation for time could be between $870-$1230 (…
Capnography-Assisted, Learned, Monitored (CALM) Breathing is a mind-body intervention for COPD that uses breathing exercises and biofeedback with the goal of reducing shortness of breath, anxiety symptoms and improving overall quality of life. The intervention is a 4-week (1 hour, twice weekly) program taking place in-person at New York Presbyterian…
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 study is an outpatient treatment study of the safety and benefit of extended-release mixed amphetamine salt (Adderall-XR) in the treatment of individuals with cannabis use disorder and Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD). The study is a 13-week trial and requires participants to come twice per week. The primary objective of the study is to…
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…
