Filter by:The aim of the Danish Organization for Randomized Trials with Clinical Outcome (SORT OUT) is to compare the safety and efficacy of the sirolimus eluting ORSIRO stent and the biolimus-eluting NOBORI stent in a population-based setting, using registry detection of clinically driven events
The aim of this study is to evaluate the effects of N-acetyl cysteine on periprocedural myocardial infarction and major cardiac and cerebral events in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention and who have moderate to high risk for contrast induced nephropathy.
The purpose of this study is to examine the improvement of myocardial blood flow induced by regained vasomotor functions of the stented coronary segment after resorption of BVS over time.
Patients with stenosis in one or more coronary artery are often treated with a percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). As part of the PCI treatment a stent is often placed to keep the vessel open over time. The Combo-Stent is a novel stent for use during percutaneous angioplasty. In short, the Combo stent combines a drug eluting technique and an endothelial cell attracting layer. The drug coating is designed to prevent re-narrowing of the stent. The endothelial cell attracting layer is designed to ensure rapid coverage of the stent struts with vascular wall cells. The REMEDEE REGISTRY evaluates the long-term safety and performance of the Combo stent in routine clinical practice. In total 1000 patients will be registered and followed for five years.
The association between alcohol consumption and cardiovascular disease (CVD) has mostly been examined using broad endpoints or cause-specific mortality. The purpose of our study is to compare the effect of alcohol consumption in the aetiology of a range of cardiovascular disease phenotypes.
To evaluate the efficacy and performance in an all-comers contemporary population of the ABSORB bioresorbable vascular scaffolds (BVS) strategy versus the XIENCE family (XIENCE PRIME or XIENCE Xpedition) everolimus eluting coronary stent system in the treatment of coronary lesions.
Young patients requiring myocardial revascularization are generally considered at low operative risk, but data on their immediate and late outcome are scarce. The decision-making process in these young patients is complicated by the potentially aggressive nature of premature coronary artery disease and their likely long expectancy of life, which expose them to a significantly higher risk of recurrent coronary events as well as the need of repeat revascularization. The lack of data on long-term outcome as well as on operative details (in particular, on the use of arterial grafts) and peri- and postoperative medication prevent any conclusive results on the durability either of coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) or of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in these young patients. Furthermore, recent advances in stents technology as well in peri- and postoperative medical treatment indicate the need a comparative study to define the baseline characteristics of patients aged < 50 years undergoing either PCI or CABG and to evaluate their current immediate and late outcome.
The investigators plan to use retrospective data to assess heart function and structure abnormalities through the use of an approved vasodilating agent for stress cardiac MRI tests. The investigators are interested in how these MRI findings relate to long-term prognosis in people who are at risk for cardiac disease.
The overall hypothesis of this study is that a cardiac rehabilitation program with meditation will be more effective than cardiac rehabilitation alone in improving blood flow through the diseased coronary arteries in African Americans. For this purpose, 56 African American men and women with coronary heart disease will be randomly assigned either to standard cardiac rehabilitation plus the Transcendental Meditation program or to standard cardiac rehabilitation alone. The treatment period will be 12 weeks in length.
The AtheroRemo-IVUS study aims to investigate the relation of coronary plaque phenotype and vulnerability as determined by intravascular ultrasound and near infrared spectroscopy with genetic profile and novel circulating biomarkers. AtheroRemo-IVUS is a prospective, observational, cohort study of patients who underwent coronary catheterization for acute coronary syndrome or stable angina pectoris. Prior to the catheterization procedure, blood samples were drawn for biomarker measurements and genetic analyses. Subsequent to the catheterization procedure, intravascular ultrasound is performed in a non-culprit coronary artery. In patients who are also participating in the AtheroRemo-NIRS substudy, near-infrared spectroscopy is additionally performed in the same non-culprit vessel. Primary endpoint is the presence of vulnerable plaque as determined by intravascular ultrasound. Secondary endpoint is long-term incidence of major adverse cardiac events. Results from AtheroRemo-IVUS are expected to improve our knowledge on the role of genetic profile and inflammation in the development of atherosclerosis and vulnerable plaques. Furthermore, novel biomarkers and intracoronary imaging techniques will be validated in this study.
