Studien und Register
- SURE AVRSorin Universal REgistryon Aortic Valve Replacement/SorinUniversal Register for Aortic Valve Replacement- Post-Market Register, observational, observational, multicentreContact: PD Dr Fritz Mellert/Bianca Sahlmann
- IMPACT REGISTER Non-interventional, prospective, open, multicentre, international registry with a follow-up period of 5 years, in which patients undergoing surgical aortic valve replacement with the Edwards aortic valve INSPIRIS RESILIA™ are included Contact: PD Dr Fritz Mellert / Bianca Sahlmann
- POSPOM study The purpose of this study is to recalibrate the POSPOM, which estimates the risk of postoperative mortality, using standardised data and thus to improve the postoperative survival of patients through careful analysis of the individual risk profile.Contact: Prof. Dr Oliver Dewald
- GERAADA Follow-Up of the GERAADA (German Registry for Acute Type A Dissection of the Aorta) Registry - Since the beginning of 2010, approximately 4000 data sets of patients operated on for acute type A dissection of the aorta have been collected from 50 German heart centres. The aim is not only to facilitate the answering of scientific questions, but also to map the care landscape in Germany longitudinally.Contact: Mohammad Aldabbas/Bianca Sahlmann
- National quality assurance for the treatment of AHF The aim is to establish mandatory national quality assurance on the basis of centralised data collection and evaluation of all cardiac surgery and catheter interventional procedures for congenital heart defects. Contact: Irakli Gogia/Bianca Sahlmann
- German Aortic Valve Registry: The registry is the joint responsibility of the German Society for Thoracic, Cardiac and Vascular Surgery (DGTHG) and the German Society for Cardiology-Heart and Circulation Research (DGK). For interventions in which diseased aortic valves have to be replaced, standardised data on the course of treatment is collected by the hospitals with the consent of the patients and transmitted to the registry. Patients are also surveyed on the outcome of treatment at certain points after the operation.Contact: Dr Michael Horst/Onise Chaduneli/Angela Kreitlow
