Filter by:The primary objective of the study is to assess the safety and effectiveness of SPG stimulation with the ISS in patients with an acute ischemic stroke in the anterior circulation initiated within 24 hours from stroke onset.
E.V.O.L.U.T.I.O.N.: A Randomized Study to Evaluate Safety and Efficacy of the Excel Sirolimus Eluting Stent with a Biodegradable Polymer Versus Sirolimus Eluting Stent with a Non-Biodegradable Polymer in the Treatment of Patients with de novo Coronary Artery Lesions.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a common disorder that can lead to heart failure. Not all people with CAD are eligible for today's standard treatments. One new treatment approach uses stem cells—specialized cells capable of developing into other types of cells—to stimulate growth of new blood vessels for the heart. This study will determine the safety and effectiveness of withdrawing stem cells from someone's bone marrow and injecting those cells into the person's heart as a way of treating people with CAD and heart failure.
This is a research study evaluating possible causes of chest pain (or an anginal equivalent, such as fatigue resulting in a decrease in exercise tolerance, shortness of breath, or back, shoulder, neck, or jaw pain) in people with no evidence of significant coronary artery disease on their coronary angiogram (pictures of the blood vessels in the heart). The purpose of the research study is to determine if there is diffuse atherosclerosis (plaque) not appreciated by angiography, or if the coronary endothelium (lining of the blood vessels in the heart) and/or microcirculation (small vessels in the heart that are not easily seen with an angiogram) are not functioning properly in those who have chest pain (or an anginal equivalent), but normal coronary arteries on angiography. Specifically, we are interested if these findings are more common in women than men.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether the additional therapy with low dose urokinase is more effective than only a conventional standard therapy concerning ulcer-healing, rate of major amputation and survival.
The objectives of this study are to assess the safety, tolerability and local tolerance, and to investigate the plasma levels and terminal elimination half life of MCI-186, and to review the routine clinical and neurological assessments data of MCI-186 in subjects with acute ischemic stroke.
Acute kidney injury is associated with cardiopulmonary bypass during heart surgery and its pathogenesis is similar to that of ischemia-reperfusion injury. Remote ischemic preconditioning attenuates myocardial ischemia-reperfusion injury in patients undergoing coronary bypass surgery. The investigators hypothesize that such preconditioning reduces the incidence of acute kidney injury associated with cardiopulmonary bypass.
The investigators will examine whether administration of certain medications will decrease or prevent ischemia-reperfusion injury.
Perinatal asphyxia-induced brain injury is one of the most common causes of morbidity and mortality in term and preterm neonates. Birth asphyxia accounts for 23% of neonatal deaths globally and survivors suffer from long term neurological disability and impairment. Although many neuroprotective strategies appeared promising in animal models, most of them were not feasible and effective in human newborns. However, hypothermia was reported not to be effective if introduced beyond and thus should be introduced within 6 hrs after birth.Applying this selection criterion naturally would deprive many patients of the opportunity of hypothermia treatment.
The main objective of this study is to prospectively evaluate the safety, probable benefit, and effectiveness of the PHAROS Vitesse Neurovascular Stent System in a multicenter, randomized clinical trial. A secondary objective of this study is to evaluate the impact of stenting in the neurovasculature to treat cerebral ischemia on other outcomes such as hospital length of stay, charges, and costs.
