Filter by:DES are preferred over BMS for most patients, however prolonged dual antiplatelet therapy is required for patients treated with DES for prevention of late or very late stent thrombosis. which increases a risk of major bleeding. BioFreedom is a Biolimus A9-coated stent that consists of a stainless steel stent platform with a textured abluminal surface without use of any polymer in the coating. Biolimus A9 rapid release and polymer-free property may give BioFreedom the advantages of both DES and BMS that may require less duration of DAPT. BioMatrix Flex, Biolimus-eluting stent with biodegradable polymer, also demonstrated safety and efficacy. We will compare these two difference types of Biolimus A9-eluting stents with different duration of DAPT. With proven adequate and safe duration, we will compare between one versus more than six months of dual antiplatelet therapy after Biolimus A9-eluting stents implantation using different properties of BioFreedom and BioMatrix Flex.
The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of coronary artery disease has led to a significant reduction in morbidity. However, the first generation of these devices had no positive impact on the mortality after PCI (compared to bare metal stents), which was greatly attributed to a somewhat increased incidence of late and very late stent thrombosis. Concerns about the role of durable polymers as a potential trigger of inflammation and finally adverse events also led to the development of DES with bioresorbable coatings, which leave after degradation of the coating only a bare metal stent in the vessel wall that does not induce an inflammatory response. While such bioresorbable polymer DES are increasingly used in clinical practice, data from head-to-head comparisons between bioresorbable polymer DES with a contemporary highly flexible new generation permanent polymer coated DES.
Study aim : To compare a novel strategy of lesion preparation with noncompliant balloons before implantation of BVS (Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold). Hypothesis: Predilatation with non-compliant balloons could facilitate optimal deployment of BVS. By achieving good scaffold apposition a need for post-dilatation could be significantly reduced. This is expected to result in better short- and long-term outcomes.
- To evaluate the safety and efficacy of MiStent drug (sirolimus)-eluting stent system in the treatment of coronary heart disease (CHD) in patients with primary in situ CHD (de novo); - To evaluate operating performance of the MiStent drug (sirolimus)-eluting coronary stent system.
The primary hypothesis is that computed tomography (CT) is superior to invasive coronary angiography (ICA) concerning the primary endpoint MACE (MACE = major adverse cardiovascular event; defined as at least one of the following: cardiovascular death, nonfatal myocardial infarction, and nonfatal stroke) after a maximum follow-up of 4 years, in other words, that CT will result in a significantly lower rate of MACE. Secondary outcomes include MICE (MICE = minor cardiovascular events), procedural complications, cost-effectiveness, radiation exposure, cross-over to CT or ICA, gender differences, and health-related quality of life.
In the POPular CABG study we investigate if the addition of ticagrelor, a drug that inhibits blood platelets from clotting, to treatment with aspirin will reduce the rate of saphenous vein graft occlusion as assessed with coronary computed tomography angiography at 1 year after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery.
Prospective, multi-center, non-randomized, open-label trial designed to enroll 139 patients in Japan. All patients will receive a DCS and will be followed for 2 years.
The design and purpose of the current study is to expand and validate previous findings that the IL-1 gene cluster composite genotype patterns potentiate the risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiovascular events mediated by OxPL and Lp(a). A secondary objective is to validate other, non IL-1 genetic variants associated with CAD.
The NeoVas Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold Randomized Controlled Trial is a prospective, multi-center, randomized trial. The study compares NeoVas sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable coronary scaffold with XIENCE PRIME Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (EECSS) to evaluate the safety and efficacy of NeoVas in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary lesion.
The NeoVas Bioresorbable Coronary Scaffold Registry Trial is a prospective, multi-center, single arm registry trial based on the NeoVas FIM study which verified the safety and effectiveness of NeoVas initially. This study is to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of NeoVas sirolimus-eluting bioresorbable coronary scaffold in the treatment of patients with de novo coronary lesion.
