Pilot Trial: Comparison of Flow Patterns
Pilot Trial: Comparison of Flow Patterns. Is There a Difference Between sewed-in and "Sutureless" Bioprosthetic Aortic Heart Valves?
The purpose of this study is to determine why sutureless aortic bioprostheses apparently offer better haemodynamic properties compared to sewed-in aortic bioprostheses in patients who underwent aortic valve replacement.
Our approach to address this question is the combination of clinical data with the application of specifically validated experimental and computer based analyses to compare the performance of these valves under patient-specific conditions.

Sonstiges: "Sutureless" valve
Patients who underwent aortic valve replacement with a "sutureless" aortic valve. An echocardiogram and a cardiac CT-scan will be conducted. |
ECG gated CT angiography of the heart will be performed on a 128-slice dual-source and two Stellar detectors CT system with retrospective ECG-gating (Siemens/SOMATOM Definition Flash - Siemens, Germany, 100kV, 395.75 mAs). In details, multi-phase images will be acquired to reconstruct between 10 and 100% of the cardiac cycle (10% increments) with a slice thickness of 1 mm. Examination will include left ventricular outflow tract, aortic root, coronary sinus, ascending aorta together with the prosthetic valves. |

Patient-specific, computer simulated pressure gradients compared to echocardiographically obtained pressure gradients.
Zeitfenster: between 6 months and 4 years after aortic valve replacement
|
The first secondary outcome measure is the comparison of -pressure gradients as computed by the model against the same data collected standardly with echocardiographic technique. Differences will be quantified. If positive (< 10%), this assessment would enhance the use of patient-specific models in clinics as a predictive tool for detailed haemodynamics." |
