Filter by:The purposes of the study is to determine the safety and efficacy of treating acute ischemic stroke patients with human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC).
This is a randomized, double-blind study. Human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUC-MSC) will be treated on cerebral infarction patients, and evaluates their neurological function of convalescent period.
The objective of the MEDIS study is to determine if subjects experiencing an Acute Ischaemic Stroke due to large vessel occlusion, treated with IV tPA combined with the MED procedure have a greater likelihood of recanalisation 30-90 minutes after the completion of tPA infusion than subjects treated with IV tPA (plus sham device). Safety of the MED System Procedure will be evaluated by the incidence of symptomatic PH-2 haemorrhagic transformation within 24 hours following the procedure. Lastly, a health economics study will be conducted to estimate health care costs for each treatment.
Left ventricular remodeling is a common complication in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI ) and may lead to heart failure. Hemodynamic, metabolic and inflammatory mechanisms are involved in this pathophysiological process. Recent data demonstrated that remote, noninfarct-related region of the myocardium is also implicated. There is no data about the assessment of coronary endothelial function or myocardial fibrosis in the remote zone in patients with STEMI . The correlation between these parameters and left ventricular remodeling is not known.
This study involves the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to determine whether blood clots can be identified within the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart in patients with angina and who have recently suffered a heart attack.
The size of a heart attack will be decreased by the use of timed balloon inflations to open the blocked blood vessel.
