The purpose of this study is to evaluate effectiveness and safety of DESyne in Routine Clinical Practice
The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term effectiveness and safety of patients with coronary disease treated with drug eluting balloon in real world practice.
Intervention for coronary bifurcation lesion is about 10~20% of entire percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Bifurcation lesion is difficult to be treated and prognosis of PCI at bifurcation lesion has been poorer compared to that at non-bifurcation lesion. Furthermore, occlusion of side branch frequently occurred during PCI. Several techniques to prevent occlusion of side branch have been developed, but outcomes are not to be satisfied. H-side branch stent is developed to treat coronary side branch lesion and composed of proximal, connecting and distal parts. In vivo study performed in pigs showed effective H-side branch stent. This study is to confirm safety and efficacy of H-side branch stent for treatment of coronary side branch lesion.
The influence of the second-generation 320-row area-detector CT (ADCT) on the clinical indications and appropriateness of cardiac CT has not been adequately investigated. The purpose of the survey is to assess the distribution of appropriateness ratings and test outcomes of cardiac CT with second-generation ADCT.
To determine the ability of semi‐automated plaque assessment in cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and high sensitive troponin T (hsTnT) for the risk stratification of patients at intermediate risk for coronary artery disease (CAD).
Statin interference has been suggested among the mechanisms of reduction of the antiplatelet effect of clopidogrel. The purpose of this study is to evaluate pharmacodynamic effects of rosuvastatin and atorvastatin on platelet reactivity in patients with coronary artery disease undergone double antiplatelet therapy with new P2Y12 inhibitors. This is a single-center, prospective, randomized, crossover study conducted in the Department of Heart and Great Vessels "Attilio Reale", Sapienza University, Rome, Italy. All consecutive patients undergone PTCA in our institution in the period between July 2013 and December 2013 will be eligible to be enrolled. Patients will be offered to participate to the trial at time of 1-month post-angioplasty follow-up visit.patients receiving dual antiplatelet therapy (prasugrel 10 mg or brilique 90 mg x 2 plus aspirin 100 mg) after percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients were randomly assigned to rosuvastatin (20 mg day) or atorvastatin (40 mg day) for 30 days. After 1-week wash-out period to avoid any carryover effect, cross-over was performed, and patients were switched to the other drug which was continued for 30 days. Platelet function will be evaluated using a validated method: the VerifyNow System (Accumetrics Inc., San Diego, CA), which is a point-of-care turbidimetry-based optical detection system that measures platelet-induced aggregation. Platelet function will be measured with the VerifyNow P2Y12 test at baseline and after 30 days from rosuvastatin or atorvastatin administration. Platelet reactivity will be expressed in P2Y12 reaction units (PRU). PRU values >208 are suggestive of high platelet reactivity.
This registry is a clinical evaluation of the Orsiro LESS in subjects requiring coronary revascularization with Drug Eluting Stents (DES). It is designed to investigate and collect clinical evidence for the clinical performance and safety of the Orsiro Drug Eluting Stent System in an all-comers patient population in daily clinical practice.
Clinical evaluation of the Orsiro LESS in subjects requiring coronary revascularization with Drug Eluting Stents (DES). 500 subjects will be enrolled in this registry. The sample size maybe increased in order to reach the subgroup sizes (Diabetes, small vessel, AMI and CTO).
Clopidogrel and Prasugrel are pro-drug necessitating conversion in active metabolites through CYP 450 system (CYP), particularly CYP3A and CYP2C19 isoforms. These drugs are platelet purinergic receptor antagonists, known as P2Y12. The link between active metabolite of Clopidogrel and Prasugrel to P2Y12 receptor prevents ADP receptor activation and inhibits several events leading to conformational change of platelets, therefore facilitating their activation and aggregation, that is the basis of acute coronary syndromes. Proton pump inhibitors (PPI) are actually considered principal agents reducing gastroenteric bleeding risk associated to antiplatelet therapy. Nevertheless the interaction between PPI and antiplatelet therapy has been object of interest. Several studies demonstrated PPI reduce efficacy of clopidogrel on platelet reactivity. Only few data about Prasugrel are available showing a minor effect of PPI on its antiplatelet activity than clopidogrel. Differing from prasugrel and clopidogrel, ticagrelor is a direct inhibitor of P2Y12, not necessitating biotransformation in the liver; therefore its interaction with PPI remains unclear. Interaction between omeprazole and clopidogrel seems related to high inhibitory activity of PPI on CYP2C19, interfering with the conversion of clopidogrel in its active metabolite.
