Filter by:A prospective multicenter registry in real-world Japanese patients undergoing DAPT for three months after stenting. To assess the long-term safety of Endeavor Zotarolimus-eluting stent through noninferiority in the primary endpoint between two different continuous regimen (three and twelve months) groups of DAPT after stenting with Endeavor Zotarolimus-eluting stent in real-world Japanese patients and to examine the optimal duration of DAPT after stenting with Endeavor Zotarolimus-eluting stent. The long-term DAPT group in the present clinical study (to be appropriated from the post-marketing surveillance of Endeavor) should consist of consecutive patients undergoing DAPT for twelve months after stenting, while the short-term DAPT group (to be newly registered in the present clinical study) should consist of patients who are instructed to undergo DAPT for three months after stenting.
This double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled, multi-center study will evaluate the safety and efficacy of dalcetrapib in patients hospitalized for an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Treatment will be initiated within 1 week after the ACS. Patients will be randomized to receive dalcetrapib 600 mg as daily oral doses or matching placebo. The anticipated time on study treatment is 20 weeks.
The present pilot study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the preoperative infusion of levosimendan in patients with impaired left ventricular function undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting.
Patients undergoing cardiac surgery frequently develop neurologic complications, ranging from subtle cognitive changes to evident confusion, delirium, and stroke. This continuum of complications is commonly caused by embolization in the brain due to manipulation of atherosclerotic parts of the aorta ascendens (AA) during surgery. Timely detection of AA atherosclerosis before surgery enables the surgeon to consider changes of the surgical plan, to reduce the risk of embolization and thus subsequent neurologic complications. Various methods exist to visualize the AA to detect atherosclerosis. Epiaortic ultrasound scanning has become the gold standard, but is seldom used as it interferes often with surgical plan and can only be used after sternotomy. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a widely used imaging method permitting evaluation of the aorta preoperatively, but assessment of distal AA is hampered by interposition of air-filled trachea between esophagus and AA. The A-View® (Aortic-view) method, a modification of conventional TEE using a fluidfilled balloon, overcomes this limitation. The safety and diagnostic accuracy of the A-View® have successfully been shown in previous studies. The hypothesis of this study is that the use of A-View will reduce cerebral embolization secondary to a change of surgical technique.
This study aimed to examine the prevalence of glucose metabolism disorders (GMD)in the patients with coronary artery disease and the relationship between different GMDs and coronary artery disease (CAD).
The purpose of this trial is to determine if by structured telephone based health coaching programme supported by remote monitoring system among type 2 diabetes, coronary artery disease and heart failure patients the investigators are able to improve their quality of life as measured by the SF-36 questionnaire and reduce a value of HbA1c under 6,5 % among those type 2 diabetes patients who had elevated value of HbA1c when recruited.
The purpose of this two part study is the assessment of the performance of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V® EECSS) in the treatment of the specific setting of patients with Multi-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease (MVD).
This study is designed as a prospective, randomized, multi-center trial to demonstrate an inequality between IVUS-guided versus angiography-guided implantation of everolimus-eluting stents(EES) at long lesions(> 28 mm) in clinical outcomes at 12 months as a primary objective and safety of 6- month dual antiplatelet therapy following EES implantation in comparison with a 12-month dual antiplatelet therapy.
The purpose of this trial is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Nile PAX® Drug Eluting Coronary Bifurcation Stent System for the treatment of single de novo bifurcation lesions in native coronary arteries with a main branch reference vessel diameter of 2.5-3.5 mm and side branch reference vessel diameter of 2.0-3.0 mm.
Pressure intermittent coronary sinus occlusion (PICSO) in patients with coronary artery disease improves collateral flow index to higher than 30%. PICSO used in this patient population is safe, feasible and effective. Safety, feasibility and effectiveness will be tested by periprocedural and logistic data.
