Filter by:The primary objective of the RESOLUTE international registry is to document the safety and overall clinical performance of the Resolute Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System in a 'real-world' patient population requiring stent implantation.
The objective of this study is to compare the safety and effectiveness of two different approaches to treat bifurcational lesions with CYPHER SELECT™ Sirolimus-eluting Balloon-expandable Coronary Stent , Cordis Corp): a) the "crushing" technique to stent both branches vs. b) a provisional T stenting technique of the side branch.
Serum NGAL has been described as a biomarker of neutrophil activation and an inflammatory marker which correlates to obesity and its metabolic complications. Since neutrophil activation has been implicated in the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease, the investigators hypothesized that serum NGAL levels would be higher in patients with CAD and that serum concentration would correlate with the extent of CAD as documented by coronary angiography, serving as a potential biomarker of the severity of CAD.
Despite remarkable gains in treatment over the last decade short-term mortality for those who survive to hospital with AT-elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains high (5%-10%). Different studies have pointed out that reperfusion (intravenous fibrinolysis or percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) and its timing are critical in decreasing STEMI patients' mortality. Studies of prehospital 12 lead electrocardiograms (12 lead PHECG) with advance emergency department (ED) notification suggest that there is a time to treatment advantage with this intervention. The use of 12 lead PHECG is not currently universal and part of standard treatment throughout the province. The purpose of the study is to follow STEMI study subjects during standard treatments and to compare the outcomes of subjects that received 12 lead PHECG with advanced ED notification in mixed rural/urban areas with outcomes of subjects treated in areas with only 3 lead PHECG monitoring and indirect ED notification. The investigators hypothesize that there will be a survival benefit for study subjects with 12 lead PHECG and advance ED notification in rural and urban environments through a reduction in door-to-reperfusion time and that 12 lead PHECG will be a cost-saving technology for the province of Ontario.
The INDICOR study is a controlled, prospective, multicenter, randomized, two arm phase-II real world study assessing the acute, 6 months, and 12 months and 3 year outcome of cobalt-chromium stent (Coroflex Blue) deployment followed by Paclitaxel-eluting PTCA-balloon dilatation (SeQuent Please) and of Paclitaxel-eluting PTCA-balloon dilatation (SeQuent Please) followed by cobalt-chromium stent (Coroflex Blue) deployment for the treatment of de-novo and restenotic lesions in native coronary arteries. The study will be conducted in India.
Construction of coronary heart disease cohort of more than 10000 patients in China. Investigation on current situation of secondary prevention of CHD will be carried out and the effect of physician training and patient education will be evaluated.
To demonstrate the safety and efficacy of the Cobra Cobalt Super Alloy Balloon-Expandable Coronary Stent System for the treatment of de novo and restenotic (previously unstented) lesions in native coronary arteries in subjects with coronary artery disease (CAD) having a reference vessel diameter (RVD) between 2.5 - 4.0 mm and a lesion length ≤ 26 mm amenable to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with a single stent in subjects with symptomatic ischemic heart disease.
The aim of this study was to compare conservative versus aggressive strategy in patients with intermediate lesions with angiography guidance alone.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the intravenous administration of single- and multiple-ascending doses of Thymosin Beta 4 is safe and tolerable in healthy volunteers.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether aspirin and clopidogrel resistance measured with Multiplate function analyser has a good correlation with incidence of major adverse cardiac events in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD).
