Filter by:Study the mechanisms of atherosclerosis based on a comparative study of physical and chemical properties of lipid tissues at various localization with subsequent development of concept of treatment and prevention.
The purpose is to investigate how the adsorptive capacity of the active carbon filter to carbon dioxide in an anaesthetic gas reflector (AnaConDa) is affected by adding inhaled anaesthetic agent. The hypothesis is that addition of inhaled anaesthetic agent will affect the amount of adsorption of carbon dioxide to the active carbon and thereby affect rebreathing of carbon dioxide.
Minimally invasive revascularization of the left anterior descending artery followed by stent implantation versus percutaneous coronary intervention or coronary artery bypass in patients with multi-vessel coronary disease
This study will test the effectiveness of negative pressure wound therapy (using the VAC Prevena device, KCI Canada Inc.) applied to the saphenous vein harvest site after Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG). When initiated immediately after surgery, this intervention may decrease the incidence of wound infection and non-infectious wound complications. It may decrease wound discomfort and improve mobility and functional recovery of the leg.
This is an observational study of lone Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting procedures with endoscopic vein graft harvesting using best harvesting practices.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether coronary perfusion computed tomography is effective in the treatment of coronary artery disease.
To characterize atherosclerotic coronary artery plaques using advanced intra-coronary imaging with a combined near-infrared spectroscopy and intravascular ultrasound catheter before and after percutaneous intervention
The investigators are trying to determine if a single dose of Ticagrelor will increase delivery of intraarterially-infused adenosine into the forearm interstitium, consistent with adenosine reuptake blockade.
Coronary artery surgery (CABG) is necessary to improve blood circulation in many patients with coronary artery disease. This is done by using alternative blood vessels (grafts) to bypass the stenosed coronary arteries. In CABG, vein grafts are traditionally used where surrounding tissue is removed, this may damage the vessel and influence its patency. The "no-touch" technique was developed by Professor Domingos Souza at the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Örebro University Hospital. This technique includes taking out the vein with its surrounding tissue and by this way the vessel is less damaged. The first two follow ups have shown that no-touch grafts had better patency than conventionally extracted graft at 18 months and 8.5 years. This long term follow up is a continuation of the randomized trial started in 1993 where the patency and incidence of stenoses in the no touch and conventional vein grafts has been studied.
The purpose of this investigation is to determine the prevalence of device-recorded ST segment changes occurring before appropriate Implantable Cardiac Defibrillator (ICD) therapies (ATP or Shock) and to define their temporal relationship to ventricular arrhythmias.
