Filter by:The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether the newly-approved biolimus-eluting stent is not inferior to the everolimus-eluting stent in terms of the rate of target-lesion revascularization at 1-year and death or myocardial infarction at 3-year after stent implantation in the real world clinical practice.
This randomized controlled clinical trial tests the hypothesis that a selected stress reduction approach, the Transcendental Meditation program will reduce all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction and stroke in African American patients with coronary heart disease. Secondary hypotheses include effects on other cardiovascular clinical events, blood pressure and psychosocial stress.
Stents are devices utilized to treat cholesterol blockages of the coronary (heart) arteries. The introduction of drug-eluting (coated) stents into clinical practice is regarded as a revolutionary breaktrhough, as it has reduced the incidence of re-narrowing of the arteries after percutaneous coronary interventions are performed. There has been, however, concerns of increased risk for clot formation in the heart arteries of patients treated with drug-eluting stents. Therefore, in order to lower the risk of clot formation, it is recommended that patients receiving these types of stents, be treated with dual antiplatelet therapy (blood thinning medication) for one year. The effect of this strategy, however, on clot formation and bleeding complications when utilizing "newer generation" stents, such as the Xience: Everolimus-eluting Stent, have not been well described. Therefore, the aim of this registry study is to evaluate the risk of adverse cardiovascular events, including mortality, non-fatal myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, hemorrhagic stroke, and severe bleeding in relation to the timing and discontinuation of dual antiplatelet therapy in patients treated with Xience drug-eluting stents, and compare it to patients that do not discontinue dual antiplatelet therapy.
The primary objective of the DELIVER Study is to assess the deliverability of the Resolute Integrity Stent as primary stent or as a secondary cross-over stent following delivery failure of another stent type in real world patients.
This study will assess the safety of telcagepant in coronary artery disease (CAD) participants with stable angina during exercise treadmill testing and evaluate whether calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) receptor antagonism by telcagepant reduces exercise tolerance in these participants. Primary hypothesis is that telcagepant does not significantly decrease exercise duration compared to placebo, as measured by a treadmill exercise test; that is, the true treatment difference in exercise duration (MK-0974 - Placebo) >= -60 seconds.
Xenon is a gaseous anaesthetic agent registered in several European countries. It has been administered safely during cardiac surgery in pilot studies. In animal studies, xenon decreases the size of experimental myocardial infarction. This 3-arm study will compare xenon, sevoflurane and a propofol-based total intravenous anaesthesia for maintenance of anaesthesia during coronary artery bypass graft surgery conducted with extra-corporeal circulation. Xenon and sevoflurane will be administered before and after extracorporeal circulation. Propofol will be administered during extracorporeal circulation in the three groups of patients. The study will compare the postoperative myocardial damage observed 24 hours after surgery from blood levels of troponin I, a largely accepted biomarker of myocardial necrosis. The main hypothesis is that the myocardial damage observed after xenon administration will not be superior to the damage observed after sevoflurane administration (non-inferiority). The second hypothesis is that the myocardial damage observed after xenon administration will be inferior to the damage observed after total intravenous anaesthesia.
This randomized, open label, controlled, parallel group study is designed to test whether 2-day high dose atorvastatin administration before PCI and 30-day continuous intensive atorvastatin treatment is superior to usual care, in terms of peri-PCI cardiovascular events, as well as 6-month prognosis. The goal is to set up an optimized protocol for peri-PCI statin treatment in Chinese CHD patients. Safety will also be observed.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the additional effect of probucol or concomitant administration of cilostazol and probucol on mean carotid artery intima-media thickness (mean IMT) at year 1, 2, and 3.
The purpose of this registry is to capture clinical data of the BioMatrix™ and BioMatrix Flex™ (Biolimus A9™-Eluting) stent systems in relation to safety and effectiveness.
This is a trial of Ateronon in Patients with Coronary Disease to Evaluate its Effectiveness in Assessing the Risk Factors of Atherosclerosis.
