Filter by:The main objective of the SeQuent® Please Neo post market surveillance is to assess the clinical suitability of the combination of pre-dilatation using the NSE Alpha scoring balloon before the use of the paclitaxel-coated SeQuent® Please Neo in an 'all comer'/ 'real world' setting for the treatment of in-stent restenosis and de-novo lesions.
A single-center, randomized trial of admitted patients with ischemic heart disease receiving percutaneous coronary intervention and stent implantation will be conducted at University Hospital of Ferrara. Patients will be randomized to either the control (standard care) or the bundle group in which patients will receive counseling regarding dual antiplatelet therapy management, advantages and side effects, screening for depression or anxiety, standardized education. The primary endpoint will be the difference in the quality of life as assessed by EQ-5D questionnaire.
The purpose of this study was to assess the safety and efficacy of Lumason-enhanced dobutamine stress echo (DSE) in subjects having a suboptimal left ventricular endocardial border delineation (LV EBD) at rest and who were scheduled for coronary angiography.
The study evaluates whether long-term treatment with colchicine reduces rates of cardiovascular events in patients after myocardial infarction. Patients who have suffered a documented acute myocardial infarction within the last 30 days, are treated according to the national guidelines and after having completed any planned percutaneous revascularization procedures associated with their initial infarction will receive either colchicine (0.5 mg per day) or matching placebo (1:1 allocation ratio) for an estimated 2 years period or until the target of 301 primary endpoints has been reached.
To investigate the risk of major bleeding (including gastrointestinal and intracranial bleeding episodes) among new users of low-dose acetylsalicylic acid (ASA) in clinical practice
According to CT technology development, cardiac CT is very useful examination as noninvasive examination and the accuracy in locating lesions has increased to 95%. Specifically, cardiac CT has been performing a gateway role in reducing invasive cardiac angiography implemented solely for the purpose of diagnosis because of the invasive testing of makeshift cardiac angiography. However, cardiac CT also comes with the disadvantage that patients cannot avoid being exposed to radiation, so there has been much effort in appealing to reduce exposed radiation dose. Of these methods, the most effective is the method of repeatedly reconstitution by way of synchronized prospective ECG while using low tube-based potential. According to recent studies, the SNR(Signal Noise Ratio) and CNR(Contrast Noise Ratio) values representing image quality have been higher compared to the combined method of image reconstruction by makeshift filtered back projection and condition of image acquisition by patient BMI. Also, the administered amount of contrast agent can be reduced for achieving the same contrast effect due to the advantage of the increased effect of contrast enhancement by using low tube voltage. Therefore, the efficacy studies of using low concentration of contrast agents in conditions of using low tube voltage are being processed. This study intends to prove that image quality does not deteriorate by suitable image reconstruction method with low concentration contrast agent compared to the combined method of the makeshift filtered back projection image reconstruction method and the conditions of image acquisition according to BMI with general amount of contrast agent.
This study evaluates whether providing a nutritional intervention in the form of insulin, sugar and protein during and after open-heart surgery will increase the body's protein stores and maintain a normal level of blood sugar. The primary outcome will be Whole body protein balance which will be assessed by isotope tracer kinetics. Protein balance will be calculated as protein synthesis minus protein breakdown with positive values indicating anabolism and negative values catabolism. The preoperative measurements will be performed on the morning before the operation. Postoperative studies will be conducted two hours after surgery in the intensive care unit. Patients will be followed for 12 hours after surgery.
Prompt delivery of cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a crucial determinant of survival for many victims of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA), yet bystander CPR is provided in less than one third of witnessed SCA events. A number of barriers to bystander CPR training have been identified including time and cost of the training course. Since the large majority of arrest events occur in the home environment, studies have suggested that providing CPR training to family members of hospitalized cardiac patients may serve as a useful approach to address an environment in which bystander CPR is frequently not provided. Utilizing an existing in-hospital program to train adult family members, the investigators will assess the skills of those who learn CPR through two different educational methods: a mobile app and video self-instruction (VSI).
The study is a voluntary study, initiated by B. Braun to collect clinical data for Optilene® suture concerning its key indication.
