Filter by:A prospective, randomized, active-control, multi-center clinical trial comparing the safety and efficacy of the Svelte Drug-Eluting Coronary Stent Integrated Delivery System (IDS) to that of the commercially available Resolute IntegrityTM Drug-Eluting Stent. The study objective is to assess the safety and efficacy of the Svelte Drug-Eluting Coronary Stent Integrated Delivery System (IDS) compared to the Resolute IntegrityTM Drug-Eluting Stent in patients with single, never previously treated coronary artery lesions
The goal of the flow-mediated constriction/ FMC-registry is to investigate whether the measurement of endothelial function using flow-mediated dilation and flow-mediated constriction provides on the presence of coronary atherosclerosis and on the prognosis of patients undergoing coronary angiography.
The new cadmium-zinc-telluride (CZT) technology is a powerful tool for cardiac nuclear medicine. The increased photon counting sensitivity of camera can be used to explore novel protocols like dual isotope (rapid stress Tl-201/rest Tc-99m protocol for use with high-speed SPECT MPI). The use of dual isotope imaging is very interesting because this imaging combines the use of thallium-201 with technetium-99m agents permitting optimal image resolution and simultaneous assessment of viability, all with an exam duration of approximately 20 minutes. However, no study compares stress thallium-201/rest technetium-99m sequential dual isotope high-speed myocardial perfusion imaging versus invasive coronary angiography. The investigators report here the first validation of high-speed protocol with dual isotope for myocardial perfusion imaging using invasive coronary angiography as the standard of reference.
The purpose of this study is to determine how a stress reduction program, called Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), compared to a health education program, improves well being and reduces the risk of heart disease in women Veterans. Recruitment completed.
The primary objective of this study is to evaluate sternal bone healing following a full median sternotomy versus standard of care for sternal closure with wire cerclage. Additional outcomes on post-operative pain and analgesic usage, patient function and quality of life, and complications will also be collected. A health economics study will also be conducted, in which cost and billing data will be collected from sites participating in this clinical study.
The purpose of this study is to determine outcomes (death, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization (TVR), non-target vessel revascularization (non-TVR), stent-thrombosis) of 120 consecutive patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction and multivessel coronary artery disease undergoing multivessel stenting or staged percutaneous coronary intervention with Zotarolimus-eluting stents
This study was advocated by institute of Basic Research in Clinical Medicine,China Academy of Chinese Medical Sciences in October 2011. It was funded by China major scientific and technological specialized specialized project for 'significant new formulation of net drugs'. Kudiezi(Yueanxin) is kind of Chinese Medicine injiection used for treating corinary heart diswese、angina pectoris and stroke in many Chinese hospitals. The purpose of this study is to determine adverse drug events or adverse drug reaction in large sample size 30,000 patients.
The purpose of this study is to compare DEB with BMS in CAD patients who are at high risk of bleeding and in whom the use of DES is therefore avoided. Our hypothesis is that PCI with DEB is non-inferior to BMS in the treatment of stable CAD or in ACS (UAP or NSTEMI) in patients at high risk of bleeding.
The use of CT Coronary Angioscan (CT-AS) is gaining popularity, but its exact value as evaluation of CAD requires confirmation. We intend to compare the results of CT-AS and convention coronary angiogram results in patients who are scheduled for an ascending aorta aneurysm reparation surgery. These examens are standard of care before this surgery, so there is no additional danger or disadvantage for the patient. We hope to confirm that CT-AS is a reliable screening test for CAD in patient undergoing heart surgery for other reason than CAD.
The objective for this pilot study is to develop an optimized, clinically usable myocardial PET-MR perfusion protocol and to determine which of all data potentially available should be acquired for a clinical myocardial perfusion examination. Hypothesis: The hypothesis is that high resolution, high sensitivity DCE MRI could replace the rest PET myocardial perfusion imaging, significantly decreasing examination time and patient radiation dose while maintaining the comprehensive reference-quality PET myocardial stress perfusion coverage. The primary outcome will be comparison of diagnostic accuracy of each combination of imaging to detect clinically significant coronary artery stenosis (≥70% diameter stenosis).
