NCT03089398
The purpose of the study is to learn which treatment option is better for patients who have multi-vessel coronary artery disease (blockages in more than one vessel supplying blood to the heart muscle). The treatment options this study will compare are: (1) Hybrid Coronary Revascularization \[HCR\] (a combination of surgery and catheter procedures to open up clogged heart arteries) and (2) Percutaneous Coronary Intervention \[PCI\] (catheter procedures alone to open up clogged heart arteries). There are no new or "experimental" procedures being tested in this study: both HCR and PCI are well-established procedures and are regularly performed in patients who have coronary artery disease. But, the FDA has not approved the drug-eluting stents used in PCI for all types of coronary artery disease. We have received an Investigational Device Exemption from the FDA to use the drug-eluting stents in this trial in the same way that they are used in clinical practice. The study being proposed here will use rigorous scientific methods and should result in a very high level of certainty about which procedure is best for patients with coronary artery disease.
NCT04591392
Evaluation of the safety and efficacy of the reSept ASD Occluder to treat patients with clinically significant secundum atrial septal defect
NCT03153111
This is a study to evaluate whether macitentan is an effective and safe treatment for patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and pulmonary vascular disease. The primary objective is to evaluate whether macitentan 10 mg reduces N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) as compared to placebo in these patients.
NCT04089059
This is a prospective, open- label, single arm, multicenter clinical trial to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Cordella PA Sensor System in NYHA Class III Heart Failure Patients compared to a Performance Goal (PG).
NCT04610892
A Phase IIB Parallel group Study to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of MEDI6570 in Participants with a Prior Myocardial Infarction.
NCT04141605
The primary objective of this study is to collect real-world clinical performance data to assess the clinical outcomes of patients receiving heart transplants using donor hearts transported via the SherpaPak CTS System. These results will be compared to outcomes of retrospective patients whose hearts were transported with the previous standard method.
NCT05710042
A prospective, multi-center, single-arm study. This study will enroll a maximum of 35 subjects treated with the Revivent TC System.
NCT01426425
ICY-AVNRT (Intracardiac CrYoablation for AtrioVentricular Nodal Reentrant Tachycardia) is a prospective multi-center, nonrandomized, single arm, controlled, unblinded, investigational clinical study. The purpose of this clinical study is to demonstrate the safety and effectiveness of the Freezor® Xtra Cardiac CryoAblation Catheter for the cryoablation of the conducting tissues of the heart in the treatment of patients with atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardia (AVNRT) using an endocardial approach.
NCT03153137
The primary objective is to assess the effect of macitentan 10 mg as compared to placebo on exercise capacity through cardiopulmonary exercise testing.
NCT05386173
In one of the most severe congenital heart defects, hypoplastic left heart syndrome (HLHS), the left ventricle is underdeveloped and the prognosis is worse than in most other heart defects. The underdevelopment can occur gradually during fetal growth caused by a narrowing of the aortic valve. At some international centers, such fetuses are treated with a balloon dilation of the narrowed valve, but there is no scientifically sound evidence that this treatment is effective. The aim of this study is: 1/ to evaluate whether balloon dilation during the fetal period of a narrowed aortic valve can reduce the risk of the left ventricle becoming underdeveloped and the baby being born with a so-called univentricular heart (HLHS); 2/ to investigate whether such treatment improves the prognosis for this group of children with a very complex and severe heart defect and 3/ to also describe side effects and risks in fetuses and mothers of the fetal procedure.
NCT04356027
The purpose of the FUSION study is to validate the diagnostic performance of Virtual Flow Reserve (VFR) by comparing it against a reference standard, fractional flow reserve (FFR).
NCT03533517
This is a non-randomized, prospective, multi-center Early Feasibility Study to evaluate the AccuCinch® Ventricular Restoration System in Patients with Heart Failure and Reduced Ejection Fraction (HFrEF).
NCT02806570
This is a multi-center, non-randomized, prospective Early Feasibility Study to evaluate the AccuCinch® Ventricular Restoration System in patients with symptomatic heart failure and concomitant functional mitral regurgitation that have stable symptoms on guideline-directed medical therapy
NCT04882449
The main goal of this study is to use data from the Bodyport Cardiac Scale to help detect of worsening heart failure (HF) early.
NCT05428384
The investigation will enroll subjects who have been previously implanted with the CardioMEMS™ Pulmonary Artery Sensor. This clinical investigation is twofold; in the first phase (development phase) data collected will be used to complete development of an algorithm that can estimate cardiac output from CardioMEMS™ Heart Failure (HF) System readings. The second phase (validation phase) of this clinical investigation is intended to compare the Cardiac Output estimate from CardioMEMS HF System to Cardiac Output estimates from Cardiac Magnetic Resonance Imaging (reference standard).
NCT04905290
The purpose of the CSPOT study is to determine the best mode of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) pacing for different populations of CRT patients, comparing traditional biventricular or left ventricular pacing (BiV), conduction system pacing (CSP)-only, and conduction system pacing optimized therapy (CSPOT) also known as a combination of conduction system pacing (CSP) and left ventricular (LV) pacing. Additionally, safety of the system will be assessed.
NCT04766892
This is a Phase 2a proof-of-concept study to assess safety, tolerability, and preliminary efficacy of mavacamten treatment on biomarker levels in participants with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) and elevation of NT-proBNP with or without elevation of cTnT. Data from this study will inform future study designs of mavacamten in patients with HFpEF.
NCT02984124
This multicenter RCT of 200 hospitalized patients and their family members evaluates an "informed assent" approach to discussing cardiopulmonary resuscitation, compared to usual care, in older seriously ill hospitalized patients with severe life-limiting illness or severe functional impairment.
NCT05659264
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and tolerability of single and multiple doses at escalating dose levels of mRNA-0184.
NCT05058833
The DIAST-CMD registry (Prognostic Impact of Cardiac Diastolic Function and Coronary Microvascular Function) is prospective registry which enrolled patients who underwent echocardiography, cnically-indicated invasive coronary angiography and comprehensive physiologic assessments including fractional flow reserve (FFR), CFR, and IMR measurements for at least 1 vessel from Samsung Medical Center. Patients with hemodynamic instability, severe LV dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction\<40%), a culprit vessel of acute coronary syndrome, severe valvular stenosis or regurgitation were excluded.
