Filter by:Development of stroke associated pneumonia (SAP) has a detrimental effect on stroke outcome. Biomarker-guided antibiotic treatment of patients at high risk for pneumonia may help to improve stroke outcome. Therefore, the investigators will evaluate whether intensified infection monitoring via Procalcitonin guiding an early standardized antibiotic treatment improves functional outcome after stroke compared with standard therapy based on current guidelines.
To evaluate the safety of a new bioresorbable (non-permanent) stent platform in native coronary arteries.
To evaluate the procedural safety and to identify and characterize therapeutic and functional endpoint assessments in subjects with documented critical limb ischemia who received treatment with the Cotavance Paclitaxel-Coated Balloon vs. those who received POBA only.
The objectives of this study were to: (1) evaluate the natural history of non-arteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION); (2) estimate the population incidence of NAION; and (3) identify potential risk factors for NAION.
A prospective, multicenter, open, randomized, parallel-group controlled study for two levels of dose. The study population will consist of 30 non-diabetic patients with critical chronic ischemia in at least one of the lower limbs (CLI) and without possibility of revascularization, from whom results can clinically be evaluable, of whom, 20 patients will be included in the experimental group (10 for each dose level) and 10 in the control group. In each of the two dose levels to be used in the study, 15 patients will be included, who will be randomized to the experimental group or the control group according to a distribution 2:1 (2 patients in the experimental group and 1 in control group), thus at each dose level, we will have 10 patients in the experimental group (treated with mesenchymal cells of adipose tissue) and 5 patients in the control group (conventional treatment)
This will be a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multi-center, multi-national, escalating dose, pilot study comparing two doses of THR-18 to placebo when administered to patients suffering acute ischemic stroke and treated with Tissue Plasminogen Activator (tPA). The study hypothesis is that THR-18 will be safe and well tolerated in subjects suffering acute ischemic stroke and treated with Thrombolysis.
The aim of this study is the evaluation of two usual care strategies after stroke or TIA : achieved target LDL-C of 100 mg/dL (+/-10 mg/dL) or less than 70 mg/dL. Investigators will use the statin and titrate the dosage to achieve the target assigned by randomization in monotherapy or in combination with ezetimibe or other drugs. The primary end-point is the occurrence of recurrent non fatal stroke, non fatal MI, and vascular death in each group. 3760 patients will be recruited and followed for eight and a half years maximum.
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)
Rationale: Recently, sunitinib (a tyrosine kinase inhibitor that is used for treatment of metastatic renal carcinoma and gastrointestinal stroma tumors) has been associated with development of heart failure, possibly by off-target inhibition of AMP-protein kinase. The investigators hypothesize that sunitinib reduces the contractile ability of myocardium and the tolerance against ischemia-reperfusion and that activators of AMP-protein kinase such as atorvastatin and AICAR reverse this unwanted effect of sunitinib. Objectives: The primary objective of the study is to investigate the effect of sunitinib on ex-vivo atrial contractile force in absence and presence of ischemia-reperfusion. A secondary objective is to explore if atorvastatin or AICAR prevent sunitinib-induced deterioration of contractile function of human atrial trabeculas. Study design: Lab
Critical Limb Ischemia prevents the legs and feet from receiving oxygen and nutrients needed for proper function. This severe lack of blood flow can lead to painful legs while walking or at rest and can result in foot sores, ulcers, gangrene, and even amputation. The purpose of this study is to determine if injections of concentrated bone marrow into damaged tissues will result in improved blood flow. If successful, this treatment could improve blood flow to the lower limb, reduce pain, and reduce the frequency of limb amputations.
