Filter by:The aim of the study is to find the optimal management of patients with acute myocardial infarction with ST elevations treated by primary PCI who have at least one significant stenosis of non-culprit coronary artery. The primary endpoint of the study will be incidence of combined endpoint of all cause mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction and stroke during the follow up of 24 months in group of patients treated with staged revascularization (PCI or CABG) in comparison with patients treated conservatively.
The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of coronary artery disease has led to a significant reduction in morbidity but there are further demands on DES performance. Such demands are an optimized performance in very challenging coronary lesions; third generation DES were developed in an effort to further improve DES performance in such challenging lesions. Two CE-certified third generation DES (Resolute Integrity and Promus Element stents) are currently available; there are no data that indicate an advantage of one of these DES over the other.
Sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) has been world-widely used in clinical practice in treating patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The efficacy and safety of Cypher SES (Cordis, MA) has been proved by several randomized clinical trials. Here the investigators design a prospective, multicenter, randomized clinical study in purpose of identifying the non-inferiority in the efficacy and safety in treating CAD patients by Firebird 2 SES (Microport, Shanghai), comparing with Cypher SES.
The purpose of this two part study is the assessment of the performance of the XIENCE V® Everolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System (XIENCE V® EECSS) in the treatment of the specific setting of patients with Multi-Vessel Coronary Artery Disease (MVD).
To evaluate the safety of a new bioresorbable (non-permanent) stent platform in native coronary arteries.
This is a prospective, observational, single-arm, open-label, multicenter, postapproval registry study in China. The purpose of this study is to: - Evaluate the continued safety and effectiveness of the XIENCE V EECSS in a cohort of real-world patients receiving the XIENCE V EECSS during commercial use - Evaluate patient compliance to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT)
The purpose of the Universal Registry is to assess the proportion and reasons for which subjects with angiographically significant ULMCA disease requiring revascularization during the time course of this study are not randomized; to compare the baseline characteristics of subjects; and to assess the variability in randomization eligibility and treatment patterns.
To establish the safety and efficacy of the commercially approved XIENCE Family Stent System (inclusive of XIENCE PRIME, XIENCE V, XIENCE Xpedition and XIENCE PRO [for use outside the United States [OUS] only]) in subjects with unprotected left main coronary artery disease by comparing to coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
BACKGROUND: Bifurcated lesions are a challenging subset in percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The selection of the type of drug-eluting stents (DES) and the technique for stent implantation have not been clarified. The side-branch (SB) is emerging as critical point, accounting for more than a third of the significant restenosis in the DES era. A series of data supports the adoption of a conservative strategy: stenting the main vessel (MV) only and reserving a conservative approach on the SB. Yet, the clinical relevance in terms of inducible ischemia of sub-optimal angiographic result has not been clarified. AIMS OF THE STUDY: The aims of the present study are: 1. to compare in a prospective study the acute 3D angiographic results and the late clinical outcome of Sirolimus-eluting (SES) vs Everolimus-eluting (EES) vs Zotarolimus eluting stent (ZES) obtained using a provisional TAP-stenting technique. 2. to prospectively assess the clinical relevance (inducible ischemia) of suboptimal angiographic result in the SB after stenting. METHODS TO BE APPLIED: 75 consecutive patients with bifurcated lesions undergoing PCI with the provisional T-and-small-protruding (TAP) technique with ZES implantation will be enrolled. Procedural and post-PCI details will be prospectively recorded. The subgroup of patients in which complete revascularization has been achieved will enter a systematic assessment of inducible ischemia by early and late exercise tests. Off line 3D quantitative coronary angiography (QCA) assessment will be performed and used to divide the study population in 2 groups according to the SB residual stenosis: - Group O (optimal SB angiographic result): post-PCI SB area stenosis<50% - Group S (sub-optimal SB angiographic result): post-PCI SB area stenosis>50%. For the comparison among SES and EES, data will be obtained from the randomized trial SEA-SIDE (NCT00697372). PRIMARY STUDY END-POINTS. 1. COMPARISON BETWEEN ZES, SES AND EES: SB acute angiographic result; SB trouble; target bifurcation failure. 2. SB-RELATED ISCHAEMIA of Group O vs Group S in patients with complete revascularization: inducible ischemia at the early exercise test or occurrence of early spontaneous ischemia related to the SB.
The trial will investigate the accuracy of Dual Source CT coronary angiography to detect coronary artery stenoses in patients with chest pain who have, based on clinical criteria, an intermediate likelihood for the presence of coronary artery stenoses. No beta blockers will be used to lower the heart rate for the examination. The hypothesis is that Dual Source CT will allow the detection of vessels with at least one coronary artery stenosis with a sensitivity of more than 90%.
