Filter by:The main objective is to investigate i) continuity of care, ii) health literacy and self-management, iii) adherence to treatment, and iv) patient preferences, healthcare utilization and costs, and to determine associations with future short- and long-term health outcomes in patients after percutaneous coronary intervention.
An intervention study with longitudinal follow-up of patients with coronary artery disease undergoing early cardiac rehabilitation is designed.
This study is a prospective, registry trial aimed to compare the clinical and angiographic outcomes of OCT-guided and angiography-guided PCI in patients with coronary DES-ISR.
The aim of the study is to assess the safety and efficacy of the device to treat coronary de novo and restenotic lesions.
The study is about exploring physiological angiogenesis linked to tissue repair in patients with acute heart infarction or chronic heart ischemia by means of 68Ga-NODAGA-RGD PET/CT imaging.
Rotational atherectomy (RA) facilitates percutaneous coronary intervention for complex de novo lesions with severe calcification. Some observational studies and a small randomized trial indicated that a strategy of routine RA did not conferred reduction in restenosis or MACE, but these studies are limited by missing follow-up, insufficient power to compare outcomes, and confounding factors in the RA group (long lesion length, etc.). With recent developments in medical therapy, advances in design and delivery of drug-eluting stents (DES), and advances in noninvasive and intravascular coronary imaging, the use of RA in current real-world practice remains to be well determined. We aimed to compile real-world clinical outcomes data for the RotablatorTM Rotational Atherectomy System in routine clinical practice in China.
Multi-centre, randomised clinical trial with anticipated 17 European centres: in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and UK. Patients with a dysfunctional bypass graft with a clinical indication for revascularization will be randomized to either PCI of the native vessel or PCI of the dysfunctional venous bypass graft. 584 patients with a a clinical indication for percutaneous coronary intervention and a dysfunctional graft on the target vesselional venous bypass graft are planned to be enrolled during 3 years.Study objectives: to investigate the clinical and angiographic outcome of native vessel PCI compared to PCI of venous bypass graft in patients with a dysfunctional venous bypass graft with a clinical indication for revascularization. 1 year and 5 years, follow-up will be performed by means of a telephonic visit. After 3 years patients will be admitted to undergo a control invasive angiography.The CT-substudy and the PROCTOR registry is planned to be conducted too.
Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are defined as an occluded coronary vessel with TIMI defined as an occluded coronary vessel with TIMI (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction) grade flow 0 and an estimated duration of at least 3 months. They are frequently encountered in patients undergoing coronary angiography. The application of contemporary techniques and the use of advanced dedicated equipment lead to high procedural success and low adverse events rates in experienced centers. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a validated tool to assess physiological severity of coronary artery disease and have a prognostic role after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography) is the golden standard for detection of myocardial ischemia. Recanalization of a CTO leads to a number of anatomical and pathophysiological changes to the coronary circulation. These include anatomical and functional collateral vessels regression and significant lumen enlargement because of recovery of blood flow and restoration of vasomotor tone. The effect of PCI on CTO is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the functional result of CTO PCI by measuring FFR and D SPECT before and immediately post-CTO PCI and at short-term follow-up.
The overall goal of this program of research is to develop and systematically evaluate an integrated smartphone and web-based intervention (at heart [formerly called HEARTPA♀N]) to provide evidence-informed symptom triage and self-management support to reduce pain and increase health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in women with heart disease. The investigators will use the individual and family self-management theory, mobile device functionality and the pervasive information architecture of mHealth interventions, and follow the sequential phased approach recommended by the Medical Research Council (MRC) to develop at heart (progressive WebApp). Funding was received from the Canadian Institutes of Health Research to develop the architecture and conduct usability testing (Phase 2, complete) to ensure it is easy to use, efficient and satisfying to operate. In Phase 3 (current proposal), feasibility in terms of implementation (accrual rates, acceptability and level of engagement) and initial estimation of effectiveness outcomes (estimates of magnitude of effect) will be evaluated in a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT). The Phase 3 pilot study will enable the investigators to refine the prototype, inform the methodology, and calculate the sample size for a larger multi-site RCT (Phase 4, future work).
The study will investigate whether a new high resolution heart Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan, combining assessment of ischemia and viability by perfusion and Late Gadolinium Enhancement -Cardiac Magnetic Resonance is superior to Late Gadolinium Enhacement imaging alone in predicting functional recovery following revascularisation.
