Filter by:Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) has emerged as a non-invasive test, accurately evaluate anatomic coronary artery stenosis. However, anatomically-obstructive coronary stenosis by CCTA demonstrates an unreliable relationship to lesion-specific ischemia. Recently, with the advance of imaging reconstruction and analysis technique, several novel parameters computed from CCTA were suggested to have added value in determining the ischemia-causing coronary stenosis. In this study, diagnostic performance of transluminal attenuation gradient (TAG) and fractional flow reserve computed form CCTA (FFR-CCTA) for the presence of hemodynamically-significant coronary stenosis, as determined by fractional flow reserve (FFR).
Coronary artery disease is a major cause of death in patients with renal dysfunction Among patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting ,renal dysfunction is known To be a major predictor of in-hospital and remote mortality As little is known about the impact of non-dialysis-dependent renal dysfunction on short and mid term Outcomes following coronary surgery we have decided to investigate the effect of prophylactic Hemodialysis on the mortality and morbidity of the patients with ckd (stage 3,4 ) and compare these Effect with the control group
The investigator will evaluate the clinical outcomes of the patients in whom the treatment strategy for their coronary stenosis were determined by fractional flow reserve measurement.
This is a randomized, open-label, single-dose, two-sequence, two-period crossover study to investigate the pharmacokinetics between a tablet containing 75 mg of Clopidogrel and 100 mg of Aspirin and the simultaneous administration of the separate formulations of the two drugs in healthy male volunteers.
The study aims at pooling a large population of patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) and who were adequately stratified in the first place. Then the investigators will be able to assess the incremental value of CTCA in the stratification of prevalence of disease (non obstructive/obstructive) and prognosis of patients with suspected CAD). The added information to current evidence is how reliable and to what extent CTCA can define the actual burden of disease and cardiovascular risk.
This multicentre, open-label, single-arm Study is to evaluate the effect of Rosuvastatin 20 mg 76 weeks on coronary atherosclerosis plaque versus baseline in Chinese coronary heart disease (CHD) patients with hyperlipidemia by measuring the plaque volume using a 64 slice spiral CT. Effect on blood lipids, hsCRP and Carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) is also evaluated.
The aim of this study is to determine whether a pre-treatment with high-dose statin (one day prior and just before intervention, rosuvastatin 20mg/day) has a positive impact on the occurrence of periprocedural myocardial infarction during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Vascular effects evaluation after non-polimeric and polimeric paclitaxel stent implantation.In particular the investigators will use Taxus )as a polimeric stent)and Axxion (as a non-polimeirc)stent system. The investigators will look at late stent malapposition by means of intracoronary ultrasound imaging technique (IVUS) at baseline and 9 months follow-up. The investigators sought to compare the two stent types with the same drug to verify the polimer role. The polimer itself seems to provoke inflammation and hypersensibility if the arterial wall and it seems to be the base of a process of positive remodeling found at drug eluting stent implantation site. This positive remodeling is the mechanism producing late stent malapposition which on its turn can determine stent thrombosis, as demonstrated by pathological studies. At the same time the investigators will study the incidence of clinical events like myocardial infarction, stent thrombosis, TLR and death along with the incidence of angiographic restenosis at 2 years follow up.
Sirolimus-eluting stent (SES) has been proven to improve outcomes in patients with significant coronary artery diseae(> 70% lumen diameter narrowing). But, acute coronary syndrome may occur in those with intermediate lesions(50%-70% lumen diameter narrowing), and the effect of SES in these patients remains unclear. Here the investigators hypothesize that application of China-made SES may improve the clinical outcomes in these setting.
Drug-eluting stents effectively reduce restenosis but may increase late thrombosis and delayed restenosis. Persistent polymer could be responsible. Local delivery of paclitxel from a polymer-free Yinyi stent (Dalian Yinyi biomaterial research and development co.ltd) may prevent these complications.
