Filter by:The objective of this study is to evaluate the completeness of struts coverage and vessel wall response to the new generation JACTAX drug-eluting stent vs Taxus stent in de novo coronary artery lesions at 6 months post index procedure. To investigate the completeness of the coverage as well as the number of uncovered stent struts per section, high resolution (~ 10-15 µm axial) intracoronary Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) will be used.
The objectives of the 2-year study are two-fold: 1. To determine the 5-7 year patency rate (rate of open bypass grafts) of the LITA graft of patients who have already had robotically-assisted CABG surgery using CTA and MPS-MIBI 2. To determine patient quality of life at 5-7 years after robotically-assisted CABG surgery
Advances in mechanical intervention (PCI) and anticoagulation therapy have been the cornerstone of treatment of patients with coronary artery disease. However, the large diversity of approaches to anticoagulation during PCI introduces gaps in knowledge regarding management of cardiac patients. As such, we have initiated a national PCI registry to elucidate anticoagulant choice, dosing strategies, case selection dynamics, and clinical outcomes in the Canadian health care environment.
The purpose of this study is to determine the effects of pioglitazone, once daily (QD), on heart functioning before, during and after stent implantation.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of dosing with mipomersen for 26 weeks in patients with high cholesterol who are on a maximally tolerated dose of statin and who have a diagnosis that puts them at least at high risk of coronary heart disease (CHD).
In this study the investigators will investigate whether a short pretreatment (3-7 days) with dipyridamole 200mg twice daily will protect patients against myocardial injury sustained during an elective dotter operation of the coronary arteries (PCI). The investigators hypothesize that dipyridamole can reduce myocardial injury sustained during elective PCI.
Aim of this study is the determination of a valid procedure for ischemia diagnositc in postmenopausal women.
The purpose of this study is to compare the diagnostic value of SENC to that provided by conventional wall motion analysis for the detection of inducible ischemia during DS-MRI.High-dose dobutamine stress magnetic resonance imaging (DS-MRI) is safe and feasible for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) in humans. However, the assessment of cine scans relies on the visual interpretation of regional wall motion, which is subjective. Recently, Strain-Encoded MRI (SENC) has been proposed for the direct color-coded visualization of myocardial strain.
The purpose of this study was to determine whether Sirolimus stent implantation is effective in reducing neointimal hyperplasia as compared to Bare metal stent in diabetic patients with de novo coronary artery stenosis.
Prospective, multi-center, randomized trial. A maximum of 130 patients will be enrolled, in a 2:1 ratio to receive either the JACTAX LD stent or the TAXUS™ Libertè™ stent to evaluate the efficacy of the product.
