Trial summary

The Ozaki aortic valve reconstruction procedure uses autologous or bovine pericardium as an aortic cusp replacement without the use of struts and with use of the patient's own native aortic root. In this technique one can replace individual aortic cusps, 1, 2, or all 3 cusps. Read more about this study

About this study

Official title: Aortic Valve Neocuspidization With Glutaraldehyde-Treated Autologous Pericardium

The Ozaki aortic valve reconstruction procedure uses autologous or bovine pericardium as an aortic cusp replacement without the use of struts and with use of the patient's own native aortic root. In this technique one can replace individual aortic cusps, 1, 2, or all 3 cusps. Ideally the patient's autologous pericardium will be harvested and fixed in gluteraldehyde at the time and prepared for the patient's specific annular dimensions with the neoaortic root sizers. Based on the measured size, one then uses a leaflet template to independently replace the cusps resulting in more effective preservation of the natural motion of the aortic valve annulus in coordination of the left ventricle, aortic annulus, sinus of Valsalva, and aorta compared to stented bioprosthetic and/or mechanical aortic valve replacements. Professor Ozaki has now performed 1000 Ozaki neoaortic valve reconstructive operations and has better than 95% freedom from re-operation at late follow-up. The objective of this study is to collect a large collection of prospective data from patients undergoing aortic neocuspidalization surgery for aortic valve insufficiency or stenosis isolated or combined with other procedures

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

An observational study of Aortic Valve Disease, run by Maria Cecilia Hospital at 1 site in Italy.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 1 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: under way, not looking for participants, as of the sponsor's last update on 28 Aug 2024. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Italy. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

Are results available for this study?

This study is still under way. Results are not available in the source record yet.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

postoperative complications (time frame: 5 years). It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 28 Aug 2024.
