Filter by:From our experience among Egyptian population in our institution, there is an increased prevalence of hidden subclinical peripheral artery disease along with carotid artery affection. Thus, increasing the risk of post-operative morbid complications.We aim to evaluate routine/ non-selective carotid and peripheral arterial screening in asymptomatic patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting in the Egyptian populationIt is a prospective, non-randomized, comparative study including two groups of patients. The study will start from the day of approval of the ethical committee. It will include 260 patients, on basis of "all new comers". Patients will be examined and classified as "high-risk" group (ɳ = 130) or "low-risk" group (ɳ=130). All patients will have the "routine" preoperative investigations along with evaluation of extracranial carotid system by non-invasive carotid duplex and lower limb arterial system by non-invasive bilateral lower limb arterial duplex.
The purpose of this research study is to determine the effect of number of remote limb ischemic conditioning (RLIC) cycles on enhancing learning in neurologically intact young adults.
The purpose of this research study is to determine if remote limb ischemic conditioning (RLIC) can enhance learning of a motor (balance) and an ecologically valid, complex cognitive-motor (driving) task, and increase skeletal muscle strength in neurologically-intact young adults.
This study proposes ischemic preconditioning (IPC) as a novel intervention to improve walking distance in patients with intermittent claudication.
Ischemia/reperfusion injury following aortic cross-clamping for vascular surgery leads to systemic hemodynamic and microcirculatory perturbances. The use of different anesthetic regimens may have an impact on tissue perfusion. The aim of this study was to explore changes in microvascular perfusion in patients undergoing elective open abdominal aortic aneurysm repair under balanced or total intravenous anesthesia. Prospective observational study on 40 patients scheduled for elective open infrarenal abdominal aortic aneurysm repair, who received balanced (desflurane + remifentanil, n=20) or total intravenous anesthesia (TIVA, propofol + remifentanil using target-controlled infusion, n=20) according to the clinician's decision. A goal-directed hemodynamic management was applied in all patients. Hemodynamics and arterial/venous blood gases were compared before anesthesia induction (baseline) and at end-surgery. Changes in sublingual microvascular flow and density were assessed with incident dark field illumination imaging. Near infrared spectroscopy was applied on the thenar eminence with a vascular occlusion test (VOT) to assess variations in the peripheral muscle tissue oxygenation and microcirculatory reactivity.
- Prospective, multi-center single-arm observational study - A total of 100 subjects with femoropopliteal artery disease who meet all inclusion and exclusion criteria will be included. - Patients will be followed clinically for 12 months after the procedure. - An imaging study (duplex ultrasound, CT or catheter-based angiography) follow-up according to participating hospital's protocol will be performed at 12 months. - Ankle-brachial index, symptom status and presence of stent fracture will be evaluated at 12 months.
The aim is to examine the expression of αvβ3 integrin using a novel selective radiotracer in patients with chronich ischemic heart disease and investigate if it is a suitable tool for predicting myocardial recovery and thus prognosis after intervention.
This is a prospective study which aims to explore the effect of Trimetazidine on the improvement of coronary microvascular dysfunction in patients with INOCA (ischemia and no obstructive coronary artery disease). Enrolled patients will be assessed SAQ(Seattle Angina Score), Canadian Angina Grade(Canadian Cardiovascular Society, CCS), Six-Minute Walk Test, CFR(coronary flow reserve) .CFR inspection with D-SPECT and pressure guide wire.Patients will receive six months Trimetazidine(35mg tid) after enrollment. And their SAQ (Seattle Angina Score), Canadian Angina Grade(Canadian Cardiovascular Society, CCS), Six-Minute Walk Test, CFR will be followed up.
The main objective of the PROOF trial is to investigate efficacy and safety of normobaric hyperoxygenation (NBHO) as a neuroprotective treatment in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large vessel occlusion likely to receive endovascular mechanical thrombectomy (TBY) in a randomized controlled clinical phase IIb trial.
The Bernese-European RegistrY for ischemic stroke patients treated Outside current guidelines with Neurothrombectomy Devices using the SOLITAIRE™ FR With the Intention For Thrombectomy (BEYOND-SWIFT) is a retrospective, multi-center, non-randomized observational study aims to investigate the safety and efficacy of a Medtronic market-released neurothrombectomy device (applied as initial devices used for intervention) in acute ischemic stroke patients who do not fulfill treatment eligibility according to current guidelines. Patients will be treated or were treated at the discretion of the investigator, independent of participation in this registry. Primary Analysis is the Impact of successful reperfusion on functional outcome at day 90 in patients presenting with large infarct cores (ASPECTS<6) or minor symptoms (NIHSS<8).
