Filter by:Ticagrelor-based De-escalation of Dual Antiplatelet Therapy After Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting trial (TOP-CABG trial) is a multicenter, randomized, double-blind, non-inferiority, parallel controlled trial. The aim of TOP-CABG is to investigate whether de-escalated dual antiplatelet therapy (De-DAPT) is non-inferior to dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) in efficacy on inhibiting great saphenous vein (SVG) graft occlusion and is superior in reducing bleeding events in patients accepting coronary artery bypassing grafting.
This study is a randomized trial with the objective of comparing the cost-effectiveness of the 2 recommended strategies: CCTA vs functional tests, allowing the evaluation of the quality of life of these patients in relation to the health resources used. In symptomatic patients with an intermediate probability of having stable CAD, i.e., whose pretest or clinical probability does not allow the elimination of the disease, and in patients without anginal symptoms for low levels of exercise who do not respond to medical therapy, in France, the diagnostic care pathways have become mature enough to set up a pragmatic prospective randomized trial with the objective of comparing the cost-effectiveness of the 2 recommended strategies: CCTA vs. Probabilistic medico-economic reasoning makes it possible to establish this two-way hypothesis more easily than in clinical research without the need to impose the superiority of one of the strategies.
Primary objective- To study the association of Lewis antigen and A, B, O blood group phenotypes with coronary artery disease patients attending the tertiary care hospital in Kerala. The secondary objective-To find the association of Lewis antigen and A, B, O blood group phenotypes with smoking, alcohol use, diabetes, hypertension and dyslipidemia. A case-control study to compare the prevalence of Lewis(a-b-) blood group among confirmed cardiac cases with the prevalence of the same among the general population and thereby find out if individuals with Lewis(a-b-) are more at risk of developing coronary artery disease. This may provide an economical and simple method for identifying subjects at increased risk for coronary artery disease and subsequently lead to more focused preventive measures and eventually to a specific treatment.
MulticenterFlow is a prospective, multi-center, registry study. The aim of the study is twofold: 1. To evaluate prognostic implications of coronary microvascular disease (CMD) in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) undergoing revascularization decision using fractional flow reserve (FFR) or other non-hyperemic pressure ratios in deferred population 2. To evaluate the efficacy of intravascular imaging-guided optimization to enhance post-revascularization coronary circulatory function, compared with angiography-only guided revascularization in revascularized population.
Coronary atherosclerotic heart disease (CAD) has been considered the leading cause of death in both developed and developing countries. Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a major therapy of CAD in the world, mainly used for patients with left main disease, multi-vessel complex disease, stent implantation failure, heart failure and diabetes. Studies have demonstrated that significant angiographic defects up to 12% of grafts, which was observed by immediate coronary angiography after CABG. Despite secondary prevention were performed in patients after CABG, the early failure rate at 1 year is higher, up to 15-20%, the 10-year patency rate of internal mammary artery graft is 85%, and the 10-year patency rate of saphenous vein graft is only 61%, and 10-20% of patients require revascularization within 10 years after CABG. Patients with failed grafts usually have a higher surgical risk and the morality of repeat CABG is 2-4 times higher than primary surgery. Because of the poor clinical prognosis of patients undergoing repeat CABG, PCI is the preferred treatment strategy for revascularization in patients with previous CABG. In patients with previous CABG, approximately 75% of PCI target vessels are native vessels. Compared with native vessel PCI, bypass graft PCI has a higher rate of short- and long-term major adverse events, including more than double the in-hospital mortality rate. Some studies support the above view，but others denied. Therefore, the primary study mainly to explore the effect of native vessel PCI or graft PCI on the prognosis of patients with previous CABG.
This study assess in patients with stable chest pain and coronary artery disease (CAD) determined by coronary CTA whether cholesterol lowering with regression of coronary adverse plaque characteristics is associated with recovery of impaired flow
Evaluation of potential nerve damage after radial CAG/PCI.
Aims: to evaluate the success rate of radial artery cannulation in patients undergoing cardiac catheterization, using different methods such as palpation, hyperemia or ultrasound-guided puncture, together or each method separately. Specifically, the success rate at the first attempt, the number of attempts with each technique and the time spent will be assessed. The hypothesis is that there are different success rates for each puncture technique when cannulating radial artery for cardiac catheterization. Methods: randomized clinical trial with four parallel groups, with operator blinding. Those patients who will have the radial artery cannulated for an interventional cardiology procedure will be selected. Once the participant agrees to be included in the study and signs the informed consent, they are randomized to one of four groups: ultrasound and hyperemia puncture, only ultrasound puncture, only hyperemia puncture, palpation puncture (control group). Subsequently, an ultrasound assessment of the participant's radial artery (diameter, depth and systolic peak velocity) will be performed. Once in the intervention room, the puncture will be performed according to the corresponding method. The puncturing operator in charge will not perform the randomization or the ultrasound assessment to avoid bias. Variables will be collected in an ad hoc questionnaire designed to respond all study aims. Regarding the sample size, accepting an alpha risk of 0.05 and a beta risk of 0.2 in a bilateral contrast, 92 subjects per group are required to detect significant differences. Therefore, the total sample size would be made up of 368 participants, estimating losses of 5%. For variables description and hypotheses contrast, the statistical program SPSS version 22.0 for Windows will be used, working with a significance level of 5%.
CKJX839D12303 is a research study to determine if the study treatment, called inclisiran, in comparison to placebo taken in addition to statin medication can effectively reduce the total amount of plaque formed in the heart's vessels as measured by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) from baseline to month 24. This study is being conducted in eligible participants with a diagnosis of non-obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD), where the coronary arteries are blocked less than 50%, and with no previous cardiovascular events.
This study aims to investigate the effect of the pneumatic tourniquet technique on the patients' hemodynamics; heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).
