Saint Luc Valve Registry

Cliniques universitaires Saint-Luc- Université Catholique de Louvain5,000 enrolled

Overview

The "Cliniques Universitaires Saint Luc" are one of the high specialized center in valvular heart diseases and valvular heart surgery. Aortic stenosis, mitral and aortic regurgitation are the three valve pathology that are mainly frequent and studied. International guidelines in the management of valvular heart diseases are based on few limited old studies, mainly retrospective. And, a matter of concern is staying, about the timing of surgery for asymptomatic patients. A prospective registry will help us to better understand the pathologies and try to better define guidelines criteria for surgery.

With this prospective registry, all patients with aortic stenosis, mitral and aortic regurgitation will be followed. The investigators will find followed patients not yet operated or until surgery, but also patient after surgery according to the presence or abscence of guidelines criteria. It will permit to compare different kind of management of patients with valvular heart disease and to better define guidelines criteria for surgery.
