Filter by:The primary objective of this study is to demonstrate the feasibility and safety of intra-operative, intra-myocardial injection of autologous CD133 positive bone marrow cells at the time of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery in patients with chronic ischemic cardiomyopathy. Additionally, the feasibility of producing autologous CD133+ bone marrow stem cells will be assessed. The investigators hypothesize that collection of a sufficient number of CD133+ cells through bone marrow aspiration prior to surgery, with subsequent processing and intra-myocardial injection of high purity cells following completion of CABG, will be feasible without significant adverse clinical consequences.
Tongxinluo is a kind of Chinese patent drug,which could promote blood circulation.Recent reports suggested that tongxinluo's effectiveness in reducing the thrombin activity.In this prospective randomized study,all patients in control group will receive blank placebo ,all patients in test group will receive tongxinluo.All patients will be followed up for one year.
The objectives of the PMS are to observe the frequency, type, and degree of device deficiency to assure the safety of the new medical device (XIENCE PRIME) as well as to collect information on evaluation of the efficacy and safety for reevaluation.
Diagnosis of relative contributions of large artery blockages and microvascular blockages is very much needed in the treatment of coronary artery disease. In order to achieve this, two novel parameters, pressure drop coefficient (CDP), which combines flow and pressure readings and Lesion flow coefficient (LFC), which combines anatomical details of the lesion with pressure and flow readings, are being investigated.
Multiple overlapping drug-eluting coronary stents (DES) are usually needed to treat long coronary stenoses but this strategy is expensive and the response to overlapping DES has not been extensively studied. The recent availability of bioabsorbable polymer DES could allow treatment of long coronary stenoses without leaving gross burden of non-absorbable polymer in the vessel wall, even in case of overlapping stents. Thus we planned to evaluate which of the 2 strategies, namely using a single long biabsorbable DES or two shorter biabsorbable DES with minimal overlapping, is better in treating long coronary stenoses. The study is a spontanous randomized multicenter open-label study. A maximum of 300 patients with stable angina and at leat 1 coronary stenosis >28mm and <40mm of length will be randomized in 1:1 fashion by a Web-based electronic CRF. The long stent group (Group A) will be treated by a single 44mm Biomime DES (II generation DES with bioabsorbable polymer, Meril Life Sciences Pvt. Ltd., Gujarat, India). The short stent group (Group B) will be treated by 2 short Biomime DES positioned with minimal overlapping. The primary end-point of the study will be the 6 moth in-stent late lumen loss. Seconadry end-points will be 1, 6 and 12 month overall mortality, myocardial infarction, target vessel revascularization, stent thrombosis and MACE (combination of the 3 previous clinical end-points). Patients will be evaluated by 6-month control coronary angiography and late lumen loss in the stented vessel will be measured in a quantitative coronary angiography Core Lab (Cardioimaging Centre, Novara, Italy)
Patients with coronary artery disease requiring coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are at risk for postoperative complications after surgery. The StaRT-CABG trial is the first large-scale (2,630 patients) that will investigate whether an additional treatment with statins (lipid-lowering medication) in high doses before CABG surgery can reduce the incidence of major post-surgery complications including death, myocardial infarction and stroke. The StaRT-CABG trial will be recruiting patients from 8 cardiac surgery centres in Germany and is expected to provide relevant clinical data on the efficacy of this novel treatment in order to optimize the care for all patients undergoing CABG.
Compared with standardized western medical drug therapy, this study is mainly about whether the combination of standardized western medical drug therapy and Chinese medical continued treatment, can further decrease the rate of cardiovascular events for stable angina patients and change the condition of angina.
The purpose of this study is to compare the efficacy and safety of everolimus- and biolimus-bluting stents with everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold stents. The null hypothesis to be rejected is that there is no significant difference with regard to lumen late loss at 9 months and a clinical end point of death, myocardial infarction and TVR at 12 months between everolimus-eluting and biolimus-eluting stents and everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold stents.
This study is a prospective, randomized controlled, single blind, two-arm, multicenter clinical evaluation. Diabetic patients (n=112) with de novo coronary artery disease will be randomized to one of the 2 treatment arms: 1) Reservoir-Based Polymer-Free Amphilimus-Eluting Stent or 2) Polymer-Based Everolimus-Eluting Stent. The purpose of this study is to determine whether Polymer-Free Amphilimus-Eluting Stent implantation is effective in reducing neointimal hyperplasia as compared to Polymer-Based Everolimus-Eluting Stent in diabetic patients, using Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as the primary imaging modality.
This study is a prospective, observational study to estimate the relationship between dosage of clopidogrel and platelet aggregation in Chinese with different genotype. The investigators suppose both pretreatment dosage of clopidogrel before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and CYP2C19 genotype may effect the platelet aggregation as well as clinical outcome.
