ARISE Trial inclusion completed – calculated sample size exceeded by participating hospitals
120 implantations was the calculated sample size for the ARISE study, which is trialing a novel type of graft – cell-free aortic homografts- for the replacement of aortic valves. 8 participating hospitals managed to include 138... [more]
Welcome to ARISE
65,000 aortic valve replacements (AVR) are performed in Europe each year to treat acquired and congenital aortic valve diseases. Current AVR options are, however, limited for young patients - especially female patients - and those unwilling to accept life-long medical anticoagulation with its inherent risks. None of the currently available prostheses for AVR is tailored toward the individual patient or allows for individual regeneration. The ARISE project will bridge this therapeutic gap in a clinical study to determine the feasibility, safety and efficacy of regenerative heart valves for aortic valve replacement.
