Filter by:Previous studies have suggested that restenosis (RS) after stenting is mainly due to smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration, but recent evidence suggests that in-stent restenosis（ISR） is associated with a number of factors. Coronary artery calcification is an independent predictor of ischaemia-mediated revascularisation 1 year after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) following RS.The characteristics of new neointima in patients with in-stent restenosis of calcified lesions are important issues to explore
Restenosis occurs for many different reasons. Over the years, many predictive clinical, biological, genetic, epigenetic, lesion-related, and procedural risk factors for restenosis have been identified. Smoking is one of most important factors, however the results were contradictory. And the genetic factors of restenosis have been studied mostly in European populations. Based on literature review, study of candidate genes for restenosis in Chinese population was insufficient. With due attention to this matter mentioned above, the investigators aim to preliminary explore genetic variation and smoking effect on clinical restenosis in patients diagnosed with after percutaneous coronary intervention in the Chinese population, with correlation analysis of factors and gene-set analysis of biological pathways related to restenosis and platelet approach were widely used in this study.
Patients with claudication or critical limb ischemia will be treated either with uncoated balloons or paclitaxel coated balloons in order to enhance the vessel patency in stenosed or occluded below the knee arteries
The purpose of this study is to assess the safety and efficacy of administering intra-arterial paclitaxel in the femoropopliteal arteries via the TAPAS catheter following percutaneous revascularization to prevent restenosis.
This is a prospective single centre Study designed to assess by OCT the effect of NUMEN cobalt-chromium balloon-expandable stent in inducing neointimal hyperplasia in de novo native coronary lesions of patients with Stable Angina Pectoris or ACS (except STEMI). A total of 60 consecutive patients will be enrolled in the study. Patients with de novo native coronary artery lesions >10mm and <24mm in length and >2.50mm to <3.50mm in diameter by QCA estimate who meet all eligibility criteria will be enrolled and undergone stent implantation. After stent deployment an OCT imaging will be performed within the treated segment. Patients will be followed at 30 days, 6 months and 12 months post-procedure, with all patients having repeat angiography and OCT at 6 months. It is anticipated that the total length of the study will be 18 months: 6 months to complete patient enrolment and 12 months for follow-up.
The study will be performed as a randomized, double blind trial (in respect of the primary end point) with treatment of the stenotic lesion using uncoated PTA-catheters as control group. 114 patients will be included in the trial at about 5 study centers. Follow-up includes control angiography after 6 and 18 months and clinical follow-up examinations up to 18 months. Primary objective: Efficacy of paclitaxel coated PTA balloons in inhibiting restenosis of below the knee arteries (late lumen loss) Secondary objective: Various angiographic and clinical efficacy measures, safety and tolerance of pacli-taxel coated PTA balloons in inhibiting restenosis of below the knee arteries Descriptive statistics, comparison by t-test, chi-square test for binary events 10.1 Descriptive statistics As far as applicable descriptive statistics will be applied to data and will be referring to individual changes versus baseline (predilatation or immediately postdilatation). The groups will be compared to each other testing the statistical significance of differences (p ≤ 0.05). Con-tinuous data will be expressed as mean ± standard deviation. Categorical variables will be compared using the chi-squared test, and continuous variables will be compared using Student's t test or ANOVA analysis. In addition to the assessment of the primary endpoint and the secondary endpoints a multi-variate analysis to investigate the influence of risk factors on the interventional outcome (interventional success, early restenosis/occlusion, LLL, stent integrity) and clinical outcomes will be performed. For this analysis the following factors will be considered: age, diabetes, neurological status (only Rutherford 5), lesion length, grade of dissection and calcification, reststenosis, number of run-off vessels, stent administration in the index lesion(s). 10.2 Estimated number of patients The primary endpoint of the study is late lumen loss (LLL) at 6 months evaluated by quantitative angiography. Because no data according this endpoint are available for both the control group and the group which will be treated with the paclitaxel coated balloon an assumption according the LLL at 6 months was made according the expectations of the principle investigator. An estimate for LLL as % of MLD in the control group is 50% and in the drug coated balloon group 30 %. The standard deviation is calculated to be 30% of LLL. A sample size of 37 patients in each group will allow the detection of a statistically significant difference (p<0.05) with 80% power. Based on the "Below study" which enrolled patients with comparable arterial lesions in Tuebingen and the data of the Basil study, it is estimated that 35% of the patients who will be enrolled in the study will not be available for follow-up investigations in order to calculate the MLD. In order to meet a statistical endpoint a total of 114 patients will be enrolled.
