Transcatheter Valve Repair
for Mitral Regurgitation
This trial tests a new device called Edwards PASCAL that fixes leaky heart valves without surgery. It is for patients who can't have surgery or haven't improved with other treatments. The device helps the valve close better, stopping blood from leaking backward.

Hypothermia During Aortic Surgery
for undefined
Hypothermic circulatory arrest is an important surgical technique, allowing complex aortic surgeries to be performed safely. Hypothermic circulatory arrest provides protection to cerebral and visceral organs, but may result in longer cardiopulmonary bypass times during surgery, increased risks of bleeding, inflammation, and neuronal injury. To manage these consequences, a trend towards warmer core body temperatures during circulatory arrest has emerged. This trial will randomize patients to either mild (32°C) or moderate (26°C) hypothermia during aortic hemiarch surgery to determine if mild hypothermia reduces the length of cardiopulmonary bypass time and other key measures of morbidity and mortality.
