Filter by:This study is a regulatory post-marketing surveillance in Japan, and it is a local prospective and observational study of patients who have received Xarelto for SPAF. The objective of this study is to assess safety and effectiveness of Xarelto using in real clinical practice. A total of 10,000 patients are to be enrolled and assessed in 2 years standard observational period. An annual follow-up survey will be conducted for 5 years at the longest after standard observational period.
The reason the investigators are doing this study is to compare the results of laser atherectomy versus angioplasty with or without the placement of a stent in the artery. A stent is a metal tube used to open up narrow arteries in the body.
A natural form of vitamin E called tocotrienol (TCT), found in many common foods such as barley, decreases stroke size in animal models. Vitamin E has blood-thinning properties and lowers cholesterol, which make it a potential therapy for stroke prevention, though these effects are less well characterized for TCT. We plan to conduct two trials (I & IIA) to determine the effects of orally supplemented TCT on platelet function and cholesterol.
Martorell hypertensive ischemic leg ulcer is a severe type of skin necrosis (skin infarction) which occurs in long-term hypertensive subjects. Calciphylaxis (calcific uremic arteriolopathy) is a severe type of skin necrosis (skin infarction) which occurs in subjects with end-stage kidney disease or after kidney transplantation.
The current study is designed to have broad generalizability and inform a potential shift toward greater utilization of stress echocardiography with UCA. This will be accomplished by comparing UCA stress echocardiography with myocardial SPECT among hospitalized patients presenting with atraumatic chest pain. This study seeks to demonstrate: clinical comparability of the 2 modalities (based on non-diagnostic test rates), improved care efficiency (based on length of stay), lower costs, improved provider satisfaction, and a presumed improved safety profile through the elimination of radiation exposure. Primary Hypothesis: A strategy of routine UCA (Optison™) enhanced stress echocardiography will result in a clinically non-diagnostic test rate comparable to myocardial SPECT among patients hospitalized (inpatient or hospital observation status) with atraumatic chest pain.
Making a limb transiently ischemic induces ischemic tolerance in distant organs such as the heart. This study aims to evaluate the feasibility, safety and initial efficacy of using briefly repetitive bilateral limb ischemic preconditioning (BLIPC) to protect the brain in octogenarians with symptomatic intracranial arterial stenosis.
Approximately half of patients with acute chest pain, a very common reason for emergency department visits worldwide, have a cardiac cause. Two-thirds of patients with a cardiac cause are eventually diagnosed with a so-called non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. The diagnosis of non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction is based on a combination of symptoms, electrocardiographic changes, and increased serum cardiac specific biomarkers (high-sensitive troponin T). Although being very sensitive of myocardial injury, increased high-sensitive troponin T levels are not specific for myocardial infarction. Invasive coronary angiography is still the reference standard for coronary imaging in suspected non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. This study investigates whether non-invasive imaging early in the diagnostic process (computed tomography angiography (CTA) or cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR)) can prevent unnecessary invasive coronary angiography. For this, patients will be randomly assigned to either one of three strategies: 1) routine clinical care and computed tomography angiography early in the diagnostic process, 2) routine clinical care and cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging early in the diagnostic process, or 3) routine clinical care without non-invasive imaging early in the diagnostic process.
This is a prospective, randomized, placebo-controlled, double blind safety and feasibility clinical trial.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate whether intramuscular injections of NL003 into the calf is safe and effective in the treatment of critical limb ischemia
The aim of this clinical investigation is to determine the effect of intraoperative ventilation on cerebral oxygen saturation in patients undergoing arthroscopic shoulder surgery in the beach chair position (BCP)
