Filter by:Distal radial access (DRA) in the anatomical snuffbox (AS) is a relatively novel approach that can be considered an alternative to trans radial access (TRA) for coronary procedures. Several observational and randomized studies have established its feasibility and safety, with evidence of certain advantages over TRA, such as a reduction in hemostasis time, a lower incidence of complications at the puncture site, and a lower incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Notwithstanding that a recent randomized study reported a similar RAO rate between DRA and TRA, several meta-analyzes confirm the advantages of DRA, despite a consistently higher crossover rate. The objective of this observational study is to assess the performance of the procedure and to compare clinical characteristics in an all-comer population undergoing diagnostic or interventional coronary procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Determine the success rate of DRA and measure the incidence of RAO in an all-comer population undergoing coronary procedures. - Compare the clinical and anatomical characteristics of patients with DRA for coronary procedures and determine predictors of failure of access.
Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a widely accepted initial diagnostic test for individuals suspected of having chronic coronary syndromes. However, there is limited evidence supporting its use in the acute setting. So far, no large-scale randomized trial has examined the performance of CCTA as an alternative to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in individuals with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEACS). If CCTA were to replace ICA as a routine procedure for individuals with NSTEACS, it could reduce the risk of complications related to ICA, improve patient comfort, expedite decision-making, and reduce healthcare expenses and interhospital transfers.
The purpose of the COMPLEX Registry is to prospectively and retrospectively collect baseline, clinical and procedural data of patients who have undergone PCI or CABG for complex and/ or calcified chronic CAD, irrespective of clinical presentation as well as to prospectively collect data about their clinical outcomes. The outcomes will be compared in different clinical subgroups (e.g. PCI vs. CABG). The impact of current PCI techniques/ devices, but also CABG strategies in different clinical settings and coronary artery lesions on cardiovascular outcomes will be assessed.
To investigate the risk factors involved in the occurrence and prognosis of the patients with acute coronary syndrome, patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention will be recruited and followed up for at least 2 years.
The POLARSTAR study is an early safety and feasibility study to evaluate the performance and safety of the CryoTherapy System (CTS) for the treatment of coronary plaque lesions that are not obstructing blood flow but are at high-risk of rupture which would cause a major heart attack. The CTS is used to apply local freezing of the lesion using a balloon catheter, controlled by a console that regulates in- and outflow of a cooling agent into the catheter. The treatment is expected to stabilize the lesion, diminishing the risk of rupture. The study will enrol subjects with acute coronary disease who have suitable coronary lesions. Subjects will be followed for 1 year after the CTS treatment. Baseline identification of lesions will be done using Coronary CT-angiography (CCTA), which will be repeated at 3 and 9 months after procedure.
The purpose of the study is to identify proteins, metabolites and signal pathways related directly to symptomatic atherosclerosis and to disease progression. In the study, we use residual material from angioplasty catheter balloons and from vascular surgery plus blood samples. It is the hypothesis that material left on the catheter balloons used for angioplasty can be used for proteomics and metabolomics evaluation that will identify inflammation-associated proteins and signaling pathways directly in the diseased vessel. The tissue samples will be collected after the procedure and blood samples will be collected at the procedure plus after 6-12 months. The tissue and blood samples will be analyzed using mass spectrometry methods and a standard panel of biomarkers will also be analyzed using standardized methods. The analyses will include study of inflammation-associated peptides observed in autoinflammation as well as thrombogenic signaling pathways and local expression of biomarkers. The analyses of proteins, metabolites and/or biomarkers will be compared between cases (stable angina, unstable angina/non-STEMI, STEMI and vascular surgery) and controls (procedures not related to coronary artery diseases) to identify molecular processes related directly to symptomatic atherosclerosis and will be associated with disease progression using data from medical journals and National Health registries. The study will recruit 225 patients from Rigshospitalet University Hospital, Copenhagen, and Herlev-Gentofte Hospital.
This prospective, multicenter, non-randomized, single arm, objective performance goal (OPG) study is designed to evaluate clinical outcomes after complete revascularization by PCI and imaging guidance (OCT) in patients with multivessel coronary artery disease including left anterior descending (LAD) presenting with stable angina, or documented silent ischemia, or non-ST segment elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS).
PROPHET-FFR is a single center ambispective registry aiming to explore the impact of post-revascularization functional assessment on later outcomes.
The purpose of the SIROOP Registry is to retrospectively and prospectively collect baseline, clinical and procedural characteristics of patients who have undergone PCI and are treated with either currently available sirolimus or paclitaxel coated DCBs (see Table 1), irrespective of clinical presentation as well as to prospectively collect data about their clinical outcomes. Outcomes will be compared in different clinical subgroups. The impact of current DCBs in different clinical settings and coronary artery lesions on cardiovascular outcomes will be assessed.
The purpose of this study is to assess whether the use of physiology parameters as guidance post-percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) is associated with less risks of target vessel failure (TVF) and angina-related events than standard angiographic guidance.
