This study is testing a new way to fix a common heart defect called an atrial septal defect (ASD), or a 'hole in the heart'. The new method uses only ultrasound imaging to guide the repair, avoiding the X-ray radiation and dye used in the standard procedure. Researchers want to s…

This study is testing a new way to replace leaky heart valves without using X-rays or contrast dye, which can be harmful to some patients. Doctors will use ultrasound imaging instead to guide the valve replacement in 30 people with severe aortic regurgitation. The main goal is to…

This study is testing a new approach to heart valve replacement that avoids radiation exposure. Instead of using X-rays and contrast dye, doctors will use ultrasound imaging to guide the procedure. The goal is to make valve replacement safer for patients with leaky aortic valves,…

This study aims to gather safety and effectiveness data on a specific, minimally invasive heart valve replacement procedure for patients in China with a severe form of aortic stenosis caused by a bicuspid aortic valve. It will observe about 170 patients who receive the SAPIEN 3 v…

This study aims to develop an early warning system to predict which patients might develop kidney problems after heart surgery. Researchers will follow 5,000 patients undergoing heart surgery, collecting blood and urine samples along with health data before and after their operat…

This study aims to understand how a low-dose anti-inflammatory drug (colchicine) changes the mix of proteins in the blood of people with coronary heart disease who still have inflammation. Researchers will compare blood samples from 176 patients, half taking the drug and half not…
