View clinical trials related to Coronary Stenosis.
Filter by:A multicenter, retrospective clinical study was carried out in the medical records management system of 6 hospitals in Tianjin. Patients who were suffered with Coronary heart disease angina pectoris and underwent coronary angiography are collected. The investigators collect and analyze the demographics, laboratory information, clinical outcome data, and coronary angiographic data of patients. To explore the correlation between hypercholesterolemia and the degree of coronary artery stenosis of Coronary heart disease angina pectoris, and to further research the influence of hypertension on total cholesterol level and coronary artery stenosis, and provide guidance for clinical prevention and treatment.
This is a prospective, single center study involving 150 patients with stable coronary artery disease undergoing coronary angiography for chest pain evaluation. The relationship between FFR values and inducible myocardial ischemia at the time of definite ischemia during adenosine stress testing will be investigated.
The aim of HYBRIDHEART study is to develop new imagistic prototype for a complex evaluation of the myocardial viability by superposing computed tomographic angiographic polar maps of the myocardium with magnetic resonance imaging contractile maps in subjects who suffered an acute myocardial infarction. Moreover, the study will evaluate the association of myocardial viability with the level of inflammatory markers and the percent of myocardial fibrosis, also will correlate the imaging-derived parameters with the inflammatory status of the patients, left ventricular function, ischemic time and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) rate.
The purpose of the FUSION study is to validate the diagnostic performance of Virtual Flow Reserve (VFR) by comparing it against a reference standard, fractional flow reserve (FFR).
The presence of inducible myocardial ischemia is considered as the prerequisite for the clinical benefit of coronary revascularization. In this regard, the introduction of invasive pressure-derived physiological indices to guide myocardial revascularization represented a major breakthrough for the treatment of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), by moving the focus of coronary revascularization from anatomy to physiology . The main premise of coronary physiology is to permit determination of the functional significance of individual stenoses on a per-vessel basis, measurable at the time of clinical decision-making process, thus providing an objective marker to identify ischemic lesions, and therefore patients, most likely to benefit from coronary revascularization . Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is the most widely used pressure-derived invasive physiological index for coronary lesion assessment in contemporary clinical practice. FFR is calculated as the ratio of the mean distal coronary pressure (Pd) to the mean proximal coronary pressure (Pa) across a stenosis during maximal hyperaemia, a condition that is commonly achieved by the intracoronary or intravenous administration of a potent vasodilator agent, such as adenosine. Based on the results of landmark clinical trials, most recent guidelines recommend the use of FFR to identify hemodynamically significant coronary lesions in patients with stable CAD. Despite this, the worldwide adoption of FFR into current clinical practice remains limited , accounting for only 9.8% of coronary procedures in Switzerland . Potential reasons for the low adoption rate of coronary physiology include technical challenges and time consumption related to FFR measurements, inadequate or lack of reimbursement, physician preferences, patient-related discomfort, contraindications and costs associated with adenosine, or in certain countries, no availability of adenosine. The low use of FFR in clinical practice provided a rationale for the development of new invasive physiology indices. By negating the need for administration of pharmacologic agents such as adenosine, saving time, and reducing costs and side effects, hyperaemia-free pressure-derived physiological indices were developed to increase adoption of physiology-guided coronary revascularization into routine clinical practice.
About half of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) have multi-vessel lesions (> 50% diameter stenosis). But how to deal with the non-culprit vessels is still controversial. Previous studies have shown that flow fractional reserve (FFR)-guided revascularization on non-culprit vessels can further improve prognosis of such patients. However, FFR requires the use of pressure guidewire and special drugs such as adenosine to maximize induction of hyperemia forcoronary artery, which will increase the cost of operation and may cause additional risks. Quantitative flow ratio (QFR) is a novel angiography-based method for deriving FFR without pressure wire or induction of hyperemia. In present, there still are poor data about QFR-guided revascularization on non-culprit vessels in patients with STEMI. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical effects of QFR-guided with angiography-guided revascularization on non-culprit vessel in STEMI patients with multi-vessel lesions.
LEMON aim is to evaluate the feasibility, efficiency and security of a standardized Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) - guided protocol for completion and optimization of Left Main (LM) Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI).
In the present study, the investigators aim to use the in-vivo Transcatheter Mitral Valve Repair (TMVR) model to determine how Mitral Regurgitation (MR) affects coronary hemodynamics in patients affected with severe MR and concomittant angiographically-documented coronary artery disease. The investigators will also provide unique physiologic data on the acute effect of TMVR using the MitraClip system on coronary microcirculation in patients with severe MR.
The purpose is to observe and evaluate the safety and efficacy of Bingo drug-coated balloon in the real world.
