View clinical trials related to Acute Coronary Syndromes.
Filter by:Acute coronary syndromes (ACS) result from coronary plaque(s) disruption, which initiates a thrombotic process leading to partial or complete obstruction of the vessel lumen with subsequent myocardial ischaemia and necrosis. The mainstay of treatment is currently focused on the re-establishment and maintenance of coronary artery patency using anti-platelets and anticoagulants with or without mechanical dilatation and stenting of the culprit artery. Despite important advances in management, ACS still carries a risk of substantial morbidity and mortality. The improved efficacy of novel anti-platelet and anticoagulant agents have been limited by increased risk of haemorrhagic events. Future breakthroughs in management are most likely to arise from targeting other relevant pathophysiological pathways. Particularly, the immune response which is an important process that has been neglected in the management of patients with ACS. In this trial the investigators investigate the efficacy of low dose IL-2 compared with placebo in patients with ACS.
Critical patients in emergency room are seriously situations that need quickly diagnosis and treatment. Different predictors of prognosis can be related with mortality and morbidity in-hospital and in long-term. In Brazil, this kind of registry is not available. The aim of the study is analysis and report data about critical patients in Emergency Departments over all country, showing demographic, clinical and prognosis data about that in Brazil.
The optimal antithrombotic therapy for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) with a CHA2DS2-VASc score ≥1 with concomitant acute coronary syndrome (ACS) or revascularisation by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stenting, is still unknown. For these patients current North American and European guidelines recommend a triple therapy strategy, including vitamin K antagonists (VKA), aspirin and clopidogrel. A major drawback of this triple therapy strategy is a significant increase in the risk of major bleeding. Furthermore, the ommitance of aspirin and the introduction of more potent P2Y12 inhibitors as well as the non-vitamin K oral anticoagulants (NOAC), created numerous new antithrombotic treatment strategies for these patients with overlapping conditions. To date, evidence on the risks and benefits of these new antithrombotic treatment strategies is lacking. The WOEST 2 Registry aims to improve medical care for patients with AF and/or a heart valve prosthesis ánd undergoing coronary revascularisation through a better understanding of their demographics, antithrombotic management and related in-hospital and long-term outcomes. The WOEST 2 Registry will provide data to support benchmarking of antithrombotic treatment patterns and patient outcomes. Objective: To assess the different management patterns and related in-hospital and long-term safety and efficacy outcomes of combined use of chronic oral anticoagulation and a P2Y12 inhibitor in patients with atrial fibrillation and/or a heart valve prosthesis undergoing coronary revascularisation.
Current drug-eluting stents (DES) has demonstrated excellent clinical outcomes in patients with coronary artery disease. However, a continued risk of clinical events even several years after the procedure is reported. Stent platform or polymer-associated inflammation may play a role. Bioresorbable scaffold (BRS) is known to disappear 2 to 3 years after the implantation, which may result in the more favorable very long-term clinical outcomes compared with metallic stents. The initial clinical experiences of BRS in relatively simple lesion subsets were comparable to DESs. BRS, however, is limited by the disadvantageous mechanical characteristics such as thick strut and the risk of fracture by overdilation. There is concern that BRS is less optimal for complex lesion subsets such as bifurcation lesions, calcified tortuous lesions, or diffuse long lesions. Real world registry is needed to test the feasibility and safety of BRS in these complex lesion subsets.
This is a randomized, single blind, controlled study of intracoronary cocktail injection before fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement when guiding percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).
The ARYOSTO has been designed to describe the clinical epidemiology and the current management of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in the area of Ferrara. Especially, the Authors will evaluate the medical and interventional management of ACS patients admitted to hospitals in the area of Ferrara and receiving coronary artery angiography and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the hub center of Ferrara (Azienda Ospedaliera Universitaria di Ferrara, Cona (FE), Italy)
Our goal is to examine sub lingual versus traditional oral administration of ticagrelor in ACS/non ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI) patients on platelet reactivity.
Polymer carried by drug-eluting stents may increase inflammatory response and thrombosis. Our previous study showed that polymer-free rapamycin-coated stents brings dose-dependent reduction in restenosis. This prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled clinical trials aimed to explore efficacy and safety of the YUKON drug eluting stent in diffuse coronary artery disease.
The NET-SCA Registry has been designed to document and evaluate the clinical epidemiology and current management of Acute Coronary Syndromes in the Lazio Region of Italy.
