Filter by:To determine in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) whether percutaneous coronary intervention - in patients with in-stent restenosis in either bare metal stents or drug eluting stents - with the Pantera Lux balloon is angiographically non-inferior to percutaneous intervention with the Orsiro stent 6 months post-procedure.
The purpose of this observational trial is to gather further clinical data to confirm the safety and performance of the Edwards Pericardial Aortic Bioprosthesis, Model 11000 in this trial population.
Levels of platelet reactivity in patients on Dual Antiplatelet Therapy (DAPT) can be influenced by concomitant treatment with medications (i.e. statins) that inhibit the CYP3A4 system involved in the activation of clopidogrel. Atorvastatin and simvastatin are metabolized by CYP3A4. Pitavastatin, unlike other statins, is little metabolized, most of the dose being excreted unchanged in bile, and biotransformation through the cytochrome P450 system is minimal. Indeed, pitavastatin's cyclopropyl group diverts the drug away from metabolism by CYP3A4 and allows only a small amount of clinically insignificant metabolism by CYP2C9. The primary objective of this study is to compare the pharmacodynamic effects of a CYP3A4-metabolized statin (atorvastatin) versus a non-CYP3A4-metabolized statin (pitavastatin) in patients showing high platelet reactivity while on DAPT.
The main purpose of this pilot study is to evaluate an impact of JHI CR Platform on patient referral, recruitment and retention rates and overall patient satisfaction in cardiovascular rehabilitation programs at the HFHS.
To validate the capability of non-invasive bio-image tests in prediction of significant coronary stenosis of symptomatic adults.
This is a prospective, randomized, single-center, single blind, investigator initiated, two period study of crossover design. Diabetic patients with Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS), treated with oral and/or parenteral hypoglycaemic therapy for at least 1 month and subjected to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), will be randomized after a baseline platelet reactivity (PR) assessment (24 hours post PCI) while under clopidogrel in a 1:1 ratio to either prasugrel 10mg or ticagrelor 180mg for 15 days followed by crossover directly to the alternate therapy for an additional 15 days without an intervening washout period.
The objective of IMPACT (Investigation of Motivational Interviewing and Prevention Consults to Achieve Cardiovascular Targets) is to determine the best management strategy for patients undergoing cardiovascular intervention. IMPACT is a prospective randomized trial that will enroll 400 patients post-cardiovascular intervention. The study will compare different cardiovascular prevention strategies: (1) usual care, (2) cardiovascular prevention consult, and (3) cardiovascular prevention consult with a behavioral intervention program over a 6-month period. The trial hypothesis is that for patients undergoing a cardiovascular intervention, a prevention consult and behavioral intervention is superior to usual care in reducing cardiovascular risk. The primary endpoint will be non-HDL cholesterol. Secondary endpoints include other lipid values, metabolic risk, smoking cessation, physical activity, nutritional status, medication adherence and quality of life. IMPACT is scheduled to begin enrollment in the June of 2012.
The investigator's hypothesis is that local activation of the endogenous Lp-PLA2 plays an integral role in early atherosclerosis, and contributes to the mechanism of coronary endothelial dysfunction and to the structural and mechanical properties that characterize plaque vulnerability. Thus, the investigators study will characterize prospectively the correlation between the functional and structural vascular wall properties, and the activity of the Lp-PLA2 pathway.
This study will evaluate the association of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and coronary artery disease. All patients presenting for coronary angiogram will receive the following examination: - Transient Elastography and Controlled Attenuation Parameter using the FibroScan - blood examination including biochemical markers The results of non-invasive liver steatosis and fibrosis measurement are compared with the results of coronary angiogram concerning the presence or absence of coronary artery disease.
The purpose of this post approval study is to conduct a prospective, multicenter evaluation of the procedural and clinical outcomes of subjects that are treated with the commercially available Medtronic Resolute Integrity Zotarolimus-Eluting Coronary Stent System.
