The objective of the REPRISE III trial is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the Lotus* Valve System for transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in symptomatic subjects with calcific, severe native aortic stenosis who are considered…
A lower hemoglobin concentration for red cell transfusion (restrictive transfusion strategy) will be non-inferior to a liberal strategy in terms of vital organ function (heart, brain and kidney) and mortality.
1. To get new insights in the pathophysiology of PPS by comparing tissue characteristics (histology) of the pericardium in patients with and without PPS. 2. To identify biomarkers that are associated with PPS by collecting 4 blood- and 1 pericardial…
- To determine the effects of the pacing site on prevention of AF episodes - To examine the relation between the pacing site, reduction of AF episodes, quality of life, heart failure, number of cardioversions, frequency and duration of hospital…
To assess if serial hybrid ablation for freedom of AF is superior to epicardial ablation alone in patients with (long-standing) persistent AF
Conduct a multicenter randomized clinical trial to assess whether the use of the decision aid results in optimization of shared-decision making and improved quality of life in patients who have been accepted for aortic and/or mitral valve…
1. To compare the induction of a procoagulant state between patients undergoing PVI using the PVAC catheter, the cryoballoon catheter or the cooled tip catheter.2. To compare the incidence of CE on diffusion weighted MRI between the three groups of…
This study will test the hypothesis that acute administration of statins will provide for a better protective (anti-inflammatory) effect than chronic administration. Patients used for this study have to undergo mitral and/or tricuspid valve surgery…
The goal of this study is to determine if off-pump CABG surgery is associated with better cerebral tissue oxygenation when compared with on-pump CABG. In addition, we would like to compare the results of two different monitors of brain tissue…
To determine if aspiration thrombectomy can reduce the rate of cardiovascular death, recurrent myocardial infarction, cardiogenic shock, or new or worsening NYHA Class IV heart failure in patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate equivalency of the Cardica * C - Port Xa anastomosis compared to hand sutured anastomoses in patients undergoing CABG with respect to 12 months patency at distal anastomosis site.
The present study will investigate whether implementation of the Hemostasis Management System (HMS) in cardiothoracic surgery will result in higher doses of heparin and lower doses of protamine, thereby leading to a less impaired postoperative…
1. Which of the three retransfusion techniques based on hemoconcentration (centrifugation, ultra filtration or cell separation) leads to a reduction in homologous blood transfusions as compared to control (retransfusion of diluted blood)?2. Which of…
The objective of this study is to get insight in the effect of the Cardio Thoracic Harness for men and the Cardio thoracic bra for women. The harness and the bra possibly have an important role in pain management. The producer of the harness and the…
Analysis of the effects of the Twin-Pulse Life Support on on the systemic inflammatory response and the effect on microvascular blood flow in ocmparison to standard used Extracorporeal Circuit Device
To establish superiority of the biolimus-eluting (BiomatrixTM) stent compared with an otherwise identical bare-metal stent (GazelleTM) in acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in terms of the composite endpoint of cardiac death,…
This study observes the immune system of children and adults who have been without a thymus for 3 to 30 years. Our objective is to study the role of the thymus in the developing immune system. In addition this study will give insight in the long…
This study is designed to investigate the limiting effect on infarct size of high dose intravenous adenosine during primary angioplasty
to compare the difference in weaning by ASV and PC/PS
1. To investigate the safety of omission of clopidogrel compared to a strategy using aspirin + clopidogrel during 1 year follow-up in patients without an indication for OAC after TAVI (Cohort A);2. To investigate the safety of omission of…
