Filter by:This is a single center, retrospective, observational cohort study to assess the safety and efficacy of drug coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty in all forms of coronary artery disease. The Investigators intend to report outcomes of all patients who received DCB angioplasty at their center during the above mentioned period for up to 10 years.
Assessment of the clinical safety and performance of the Orsiro drug-eluting stent in a real world setting in patients with small vessels with reference vessel diameter ≤2.75 mm
Assessment of the clinical safety and performance of the Orsiro drug-eluting stent in a real world setting in patients with small vessels with reference vessel diameter ≤2.75 mm.
In-stent restenosis remains one of the most challenging problems in patients after coronary artery angioplasty. Angiographically, it is discovered in 10% of the patients after drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation. There are multiple factors causing restenosis, which can be divided into two major groups: first vessel-dependent (based on the vessel's tortuosity, dimensions and lesion's calcification, all leading to suboptimal stent expansion), and second dependent on the inflammatory processes caused by the intervention. Study objectives is the analysis of the possible correlation between allergy to metals utilised during the stent manufacturing (nickel, cobalt, chromium, molybdenum, tungsten) and in-stent restenosis occurence. The angiographic results of stent implantation, and in-stent restenosis will be assessed independently by two skilled interventional cardiologists, and in case of their discrepant opinions, the decision will be made on the basis of the third cardiologist. The tests will be applicated during the hospitalisation, then read after 48 hours and 72 hours, and subsequently interpreted by the skilled dermatologist, during the hospital stay or afterwards.
CFR has been studied for few years using 82 Rubidium PET (positron emission tomography) /CT. CFR has shown to be correlated with cardiovascular events occurring in the 10 following years. CFR also helps to identify multivessel coronary disease. Few studies have shown the possibility to calculate CFR during myocardial perfusion SPECT on new ultrafast CZT cameras.
The study will estimate the current status of participants with non-obstructive coronary artery disease confirmed via coronary angiography.
Patients who present to the emergency department (ED) with acute chest pain (ACP) possibly due to Coronary artery disease (CAD), with a normal heart tracing (ECG), need to have further troponin blood tests to confirm or exclude a heart attack. After initial troponin testing, a significant 50-85% of patients are said to be in an "observational zone" as one cannot confirm or exclude a diagnosis of a heart attack. Even after repeat blood testing, 22-33% remain in this "observational zone". These patients can be challenging to manage as they are not safe to be discharged home, but they also cannot be treated as a heart attack. This contributes to ED overcrowding and uncertainty in treatment plans.
This study evaluates coronary artery disease after heart transplantation and its relation to platelet function. Furthermore, we will evaluate extracorporeal photopheresis as treatment of coronary artery disease after heart transplantation.
Complete arterial coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a surgical option to improve long-term results in the treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD). The goal of coronary artery bypass operations is complete revascularization and there is an increasing interest toward complete arterial revascularization to achieve this goal because of high late failure of saphenous vein graft
The study is to further exploring the optimal switching strategy by evaluating the pharmacodynamic responses as well as adverse events in patients with complexity of coronary artery disease managed by percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). All participants will be divided into three groups and recieving ticagrelor 90mg plus aspirin 100mg at 12 hours after the last dose of clopidogrel; recieving ticagrelor 90mg plus aspirin 100mg at 24 hours after the last dose of clopidogrel; recieving ticagrelor 180mg plus aspirin 100mg at 24 hours after the last dose of clopidogrel.
