    This is a prospective, multicenter, open-label, single-arm study that seeks to confirm and describe the safety and effectiveness of the GSO device as observed in the REDUCE pivotal IDE study. It is also designed to demonstrate acceptable performance of the GSO device in patients treated with percutaneous, transcatheter PFO closure plus anti-platelet medical management compared to performance goals derived from REDUCE study results.

    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-expanding implant that restores competency in a sclerotic aortic valve. To implant the device, a surgical incision is made in the femoral vein (incision in the upper leg between the knee and the hip). A catheter is advanced into the heart access...

    The goal of this early feasibility study is to gain initial insight into the basic safety and performance of transluminal (through the blood vessels) implantation of the PASCAL Systems implant (composed of man-made materials). We are trying to evaluate the safety and performance of the PASCAL System with Optimal Medical Therapy (OMT) (also known as standard of care) compared to OMT alone in participants with symptomatic severe tricuspid regurgitation who may not be ideal candidates for tricuspid valve surgery (tricuspid valve repair that is performed via open-heart surgery) and may be...

    *COVID Cohort* We are seeking patients that have had a pre-COVID heart CT scan (Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography) that was performed at Columbia University Irving Medical Center/NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital before March of 2020. For this study, half of patients will be required to have had COVID-19 symptoms (e.g., fever, cough, shortness of breath) and would have tested positive for COVID-19 (by an FDA-approved test). The other half will not have had a prior diagnosis of COVID-19. If you enroll in the study, you will be given a CT, asked to provide a blood sample as well as answer...

    The objective of this study is to learn more about how safe and effective the Bare Temporary Spur Stent System is when used in patients who have blocked arteries in their lower limbs. The selection of subjects will be those with Critical Limb Ischemia (CLI), a form of Peripheral Arterial Disease (PAD) in which an artery (blood vessel) in the lower leg (calf) may have become blocked. To improve blood flow to the lower leg, the study doctor will open up this blockage using the Bare Temporary Spur Stent System.

    This study is to collect information about the symptoms and treatments of patient who have severely clogged arteries and treated with commercially available Boston Scientific Corporation drug-eluting devices marketed for treatment of lesions located in the peripheral vasculature. If you choose to be part of this research, we will ask you to be involved in office visits at 6, 12, and 24 months as well as follow-up at 36, 48, and 24 months will be completed in office or remotely. Your involvement in the research will last for 5 years. There are no or minimal risks from participating in this...

    This study will evaluate Patent Foramen Ovale (PFO) closure for migraine headache relief using a device called the GORE CARDIOFORM Septal Occluder. A patent foramen ovale (PFO) is a hole in the heart that didn't close the way it should after birth. During fetal development, a small flap-like opening the foramen ovale is normally present in the wall between the right and left upper chambers of the heart (atria). Most patients with a PFO do not have any symptoms. However, the condition may play a role in migraine headaches and it increases the risk of stroke, transient ischemic attack (stroke...

    This is a randomized controlled trial (RCT) that will compare the clinical outcome of MitraClip device versus surgical repair in patients with severe primary MR who are at moderate surgical risk and whose mitral valve has been determined to be suitable for correction by MV repair surgery by the cardiac surgeon on the local site heart team. In this trial, each subject will be followed until their 10-year visit. Clinical Investigation visits will occur at Screening (for determination of eligibility), Baseline (after confirmation of eligibility), Index Procedure, Discharge, 30 days, 6 months, 1...

    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 effectiveness data in a high or extreme surgical risk patient population with symptomatic, severe native AS and who meet eligibility criteria for implantation of the PorticoNG valve. The Portico NG Valve (along with the delivery and loading...

    You may want to join this study because your heart condition may respond to a device-based therapy called cardiac modulation therapy, CCM therapy, called the OPTIMIZER System.

    This Early Feasibility Study (EFS) is looking at the investigative device called the Half Moon TMVrSystem to see if it is safe and effective in treating patients with severe, symptomatic mitral regurgitation, who are at high risk for conventional mitral valve surgery. The system is designed so that a catheter can gain access to the heart by way of a large artery in the leg or by a small surgical passage through the walls between the right and left chamber of the heart. The implant then anchors on the leaflets of the valve in a certain manner. The Transcatheter Mitral Valve Replacement system...

    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 will be treated with the Leaflex Performer in up to 7 clinical sites. All enrolled patients will be followed up at 30 days and at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months post-procedure.

    This is a Prospective, multicenter, randomized, parallel-controlled, open-label two-arm trial with an adaptive design that will randomize about 1252 subjects at approximately 120 US and international centers. The study is looking to see if a device called the Impella device will improve the way the heart works as well as if health is improved as compared to what is currently used for patients with reduced left-sided heart function. Participants will be assigned by the flip of a coin to receive the Impella device, or assigned to receive standard of care treatment. Participants will have a...

    This is a prospective, single-arm, multi-center, early feasibility study. This research study is for patients who have Tricuspid Regurgitation (TR), a condition that occurs when the three leaflets of the heart's tricuspid valve do not close properly causing blood to leak backward with each heartbeat. Since some of the blood leaks backward, the heart has to pump more blood with each beat to push the same amount of blood forward. The goal of this study is to evaluate the safety and performance of the Evoque system with Optimal Medical Therapy (OMT) compared to OMT alone in the treatment of...

Since some of the blood leaks backward, the heart has to pump more blood with each beat to push the same amount of blood forward.
