Study summary

The study of new biological heart valves with the "easy change" system, including an assessment of the basic hemodynamic characteristics of the prosthesis, complications associated with valve implantation, and general mortality

Read the detailed description

The study of new biological heart valves with the "easy change" system, including an assessment of the basic hemodynamic characteristics of the prosthesis, complications associated with valve implantation, and general mortality. Antithrombotic therapy after new biological valve prosthesis is studied. Transesophageal ultrasound is used for assessment of aortic strain, left ventricular strain, and 3D reconstruction of implanted bioprosthesis. The quality of life of patients is assessed using SF36 questionnaire. Heart failure after surgery is assessed by six-minute walking test and plasma BNP level.

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion Criteria:

  1. the need for prosthetics of two or more valves
  2. patients with a decrease in of less than 45%;
  3. the presence of a competing disease or concomitant pathology that significantly affects the prognosis of quality of life or the likelihood of death
  4. high pulmonary hypertension (SDJ above 60 mm Hg. Art.);
  5. the diameter of the ascending aorta is more than 45 mm;
  6. unwillingness of the patient to participate in the study.
Terms in these criteria, in plain language(1)

Underlined terms in the criteria open these too. Explained by clinicaltrials.gg, not part of the registry record. The study team decides who can take part.

LVEF (left ventricular ejection fraction)

The share of blood the heart’s main pumping chamber (the left ventricle) pushes out with each beat, measured by an echocardiogram (heart ultrasound) or a MUGA scan. About 50–70% is normal.
