Filter by:Coronary artery bypass grafting(CABG) is the golden standard for severe coronary artery disease(CAD), the current surgery strategy is mainly based on coronary angiography(CAG), but many trials of PCI have shown that visually stenosis in CAG may not have functional significance. The aim of this study is to investigate if the Quantitative Flow Ratio (QFR) can be adopted in CABG and achieve a better graft patency.
Myocardial protection is of crucial importance for surgical coronary revascularization in patients with ischaemic heart diseases. The investigators proposed loop isolation-based uploading preconditioning to protect heart from ischemic-reperfusion damage (LiuPhD) as a novel cardioprotective strategy, and applied to patients who underwent on-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).
In a double-blinded randomized clinical trial, all patients undergoing coronary artery catheterization who will met our criteria, will be enrolled into three groups to receive either, vitamin e, n-acetylcysteine, or placebo. The aim of study will be to compare the superiority of vitamin e over n-acetylcysteine for the prevention of contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI).
Total arterial revascularisation with in-situ confihuration of BITA is superior than y-graft in patients underwent CABG.
This study aims to investigate the clinical effect of the new saphenous vein harvesting technique "No-touch" in off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting(OPCABG), comparing to the conventional technique. Adopting CTA to evaluate the 3 months patency of the graft, we will compare veins harvested using No-touch technique to saphenous veins using conventional open technique.
The study will compare clinical outcomes of modified T-stenting with Szabo technique with T-stenting for bifurcation lesions in coronary heart diseases.
The objective of the INCORPORATE trial is to evaluate whether an intentional invasive strategy with ischemia targeted, reasonably complete coronary revascularization and optimal medical therapy is superior as compared to a primary conservative approach and optimal medical therapy alone in terms of spontaneous myocardial infarct-free and overall survival in patients with severe peripheral artery disease, underwent peripheral artery revascularization due to critical limb ischemia. The INCORPORATE trial is designed to be non-blinded, open-label, prospective 1:1 randomized controlled multicentric trial.
The primary objective of the Master@Heart Trial is to investigate whether lifelong endurance exercise reduces the incidence of non-calcified plaques (both mixed and soft plaques) as compared to late-onset endurance exercise and a non-athletic lifestyle.
Overall Aim Coronary artery disease significantly contributes to morbidity and mortality in the United States. Atherosclerotic disease can lead to stenosis of the coronary arteries and subsequent cardiac hypoperfusion. Patients with a critical stenosis of the LAD, potentially leading to acute anterior wall myocardial infarction, may be asymptomatic at presentation with subtle EKG changes as its only manifestation. It is imperative for physicians to recognize patients with new T wave inversions in leads V2-V3 as the standard course of management may lead to poor prognosis. The purpose of this study is to determine if collateral circulation to the left anterior descending (LAD) artery will mask the presence of a Wellens sign and therefore diminish its diagnostic utility. The conclusion of this study would raise awareness for physicians in light of an absent Wellens sign. Hypothesis The presence of coronary collateral circulation to the LAD masks the presence of a Wellens sign (both Type 1 and Type 2) in precordial leads V2-V4.
The deleterious effects of hyperuricemia (HUA) on cardiovascular disease (CVD) were well established. Aspirin is the most commonly prescribed antiplatelet agent for primary or secondary prophylaxis of CVD. Only a few short-term studies in the elderly suggested low-dose aspirin, e.g., 75-100 mg/day, increases serum urate by reducing urinary uric acid excretion. However, monitoring of renal function is currently not recommended. Little is known about the long-term effect of low dose aspirin on uric acid. The principal aim of this prospective cohort study therefore is to evaluate the renal effects of long-term aspirin (100 mg/d) administration in Chinese patients with coronary artery disease or other CVDs.
