Filter by:Targeting patients with severe ischemic cardiomyopathy, the purpose of this study is as follows: to confirm short-term efficacy by observing changes and transitions in cardiac function and clinical symptoms compared with each patient's baseline (before and after comparison) by human iPS cell-derived cardiomyocyte sheet transplantation, and to evaluate the safety and tolerability including the combined use of immunosuppressants.
Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) has been one of the major causes of global mortality and morbidity. The superiority of endovascular therapy (EVT) over standard medical therapy in treating AIS due to large vessel occlusion (LVO) in the anterior circulation has been widely accepted. However, a critical concern is that even with an extremely high rate of successful recanalization (the modified thrombolysis in cerebral infarction [mTICI] score 2b-3) around 90%, nearly half of the patients failed to benefit from EVT. So, adjunctive therapy of EVT for neuroprotection is required. From the previous domestic and foreign literatures, hypothermia can prevent and treat secondary injury caused by ischemia-reperfusion injury and cerebral edema of acute cerebral ischemia, so as to achieve the role of neuroprotection. In this study, intravascular cooling was performed as soon as possible with careful temperature control in patients receiving thrombectomy. The temperature was controlled at 33° C for 48-72 hours. This parallel controlled study is to systematically evaluate the feasibility and safety of adjunctive therapy using early intravascular hypothermia in AIS patients receiving mechanical thrombectomy. The results will clarify a potential modality for neuroprotection and hopefully provide new evidence in improving patient prognosis.
A partial nephrectomy (PN) preserves renal parenchyma with a proper oncology outcome. PN is performed during transitory ischemia to avoid massive bleeding during tumor resection. Nevertheless, the transitory ischemia might cause an acute kidney injury(AKI). AKI diagnose is based on the increase in plasma creatinine concentration and a decrease in urine output. However, both plasma creatinine concentration and diuresis are useful for the diagnose, but not in the detection of the risk patients. Therefore, there is considerable interest to find a biomarkers of kidney injury that allow clinicians to predict the development of AKI. Hence, we propose Fibroblastic Growth Factor-23 (FGF23) as a novel early biomarker to detect patients in risk to develop postoperative AKI after a PN. We will conduct an observational and prospective study in three different groups of patients: PN gropup, patients who underwent PN with a transient and controlled renal ischemia injury using a renal artery clamping; Hemicolectomy (HC) group, patients as non-renal ischemia surgery controls, with similar demographic characteristics, but submitted to HC; and Nephrolithotomy (NL) group, patients who underwent NL, as a control of kidney surgery with physical injury. In each patient, a time curve of plasmatic creatinine, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and FGF23 were measure. Our study aims to describe the role of FGF23 as an early biomarker of AKI after PN, where patients are exposed to a controlled ischemic injury.
The aim of the study is to collect and analyze specimen from ischemic stroke patients undergoing thrombectomy procedures and from patients undergoing minimally invasive surgery for intracranial hematoma evacuation.
A real world registry to compare dual therapy with Dabigatran/Ticagrelor to dual therapie with Dabigatran/Clopidogrel in patients with an indication for NOAC undergoing PCI in the setting of ACS. Hypothesis: Dual therapy with Dabigatran/Ticagrelor will be non-inferior in reducing the risk of bleeding compared to Dual therapy with Dabigatran/Clopidogrel (RE-DUAL PCI trial based) in patients with an indication for NOAC undergoing PCI in the setting of ACS. Thromboembolic events, stent thrombosis and death will be evaluated for estimation of events between both groups. Data will be pooled for this secondary endpoint with data from the upcoming WOEST-3 trial to compare both treatments.
Post-stroke cognitive impairment(PSCI) is one of the most important factors causing disabilities after stroke. Recent study found that gut microbiota plays a key role in neurological diseases. Two recent small sample studies reported gut dysbiosis in PSCI patients. In order to further verify the relationship between PSCI and gut microbiota and the predictive value of gut microbiota and serum markers for cognitive impairment and poor prognosis after ischemic stroke. The study intended to collect stool specimens of patients with acute ischemic stroke and assess their cognitive psychological state, and to establish a prospective multi-center follow-up cohort to explore the correlation between the dynamic changes of intestinal flora in patients with stroke and PSCI and poor prognosis of stroke.
Acute mesenteric artery thromboembolism(AMT) is one of the important causes of acute abdomen and intestinal necrosis. If the intestinal blood supply is not restore in time, the prognosis of the disease is often poor and even endangers the life of the patient. Through laparoscopic surgery combined with modern minimally invasive endovascular technology, the blood supply of patients' intestine is restored. Observe the perioperative vascular patency rate, all-cause mortality, and the probability of short bowel syndrome. Through the hybrid operating room, we want to seek a multidisciplinary collaborative treatment mode to improve the long-term survival rate of such patients with enough intestines and completely free from TPN, and improve the prognosis of these patients.
The aim of the Fused-Heart study is to investigate the impact of a coronary artery stenosis on myocardial function and viability, based on advanced fusion imaging techniques derived from CCTA. Moreover the study will investigate the correlation between morphology and composition of atheromatous plaques located in a coronary artery and myocardial ischemia in the territory irrigated by the same coronary artery.
Early-Synergy investigates a diagnostic imaging approach in asymptomatic individuals from the general population for early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction. The diagnostic imaging approach consists of cardiac computed tomography for coronary artery calcium scoring (CT-CAC) and cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) stress perfusion imaging. Early-Synergy investigates the effect of early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction by CMR in asymptomatic individuals with increased CAC. In addition, the diagnostic yield of CMR for early detection of silent myocardial ischemia and cardiac dysfunction is investigated. Asymptomatic individuals at increased risk (CAC ≥ 300) are therefore randomized 1:1 to either CMR stress perfusion imaging or a control group.
200 patients presenting with symptoms of acute ischemic stroke or transient ischemic attack were included. All patients free of AF on presentation underwent 48 hours Holter monitoring within one week.
