STUDY QUESTIONS - What is the real prevalence of platelet "resistance" to aspirin during the acute phase of stroke and after 3 months, and 1 year, as measured using different platelet function tests? - Do all methods measure similar levels of resistance, or are some methods more sensitive than others? - Does this resistance result in a worse clinical prognosis? Is this result independent of other variables? OBJECTIVES 1. Hospital Phase (Acute Stroke) - Determination, using various methods, of the prevalence of platelet hyperreactivity in patients treated with aspirin to treat ischemic stroke (acute phase) - Comparison of different assessment methods and identification of the most accurate of these - Identification of variables that correlate with platelet hyperreactivity 2. Follow-up Phase - Correlation between platelet hyperreactivity and important clinical outcomes at 12, 24, and 36 months - Correlation between platelet hyperreactivity and death or dependency at hospital discharge, at 3, 12, 24, and 36 months (Modified Rankin Scale) - Correlation between platelet hyperreactivity and recurrent stroke of any type - Correlation between different methods for evaluating platelet functions and identification of the most accurate method - Analysis of hyperreactivity over time THE STUDY - The study will include 200 consecutive patients seen in the emergency department of a large, urban hospital (1500 inpatient beds) and diagnosed with stroke in the acute phase; these patients will be treated with aspirin for an undetermined period - The investigators will not include patients who require full anticoagulation treatment, regardless of the cause - Importantly, the analysis of primary and secondary outcomes will be carried out after blinding the examiner to the results of the platelet aggregation tests PLATELET TESTS - Whole Blood Aggregometer, ChronoLog - VerifyNow, Accumetrics - PFA-100, Siemens - Plateletworks, Helena - Impact-R, Diamed - Serum thromboxane B2
The BRAVISSIMO trial wants to investigate in a controlled setting, the long-term (up to 24 months) outcome of the self-expanding nitinol Absolute Pro (Abbott Vascular) and the balloon-expandable Omnilink Elite (Abbott Vascular) stent in TASC A&B and TASC C&D iliac lesions. A separate analysis of both patient populations will be performed and listed.
The purpose of this study is to see if a dietary supplement, R-alpha lipoic acid, is able to reduce risk factors in people with documented heart disease and increased levels of inflammation.
This is a prospective, multi-center randomized, controlled study. The study is designed to assess the safety effectiveness of the ArterX Vascular Sealant compared to the control group in the open surgical repair of large vessels using synthetic vascular grafts or patches.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Assurant Cobalt Iliac Stent System in the treatment of de novo and restenotic lesions in iliac arteries of subjects with Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the Minnow Medical GRST Peripheral Catheter System in the treatment of new lesions in the superficial femoral artery or the popliteal artery.
To evaluate early ambulation in patients who receive the StarClose™ VCS post-percutaneous diagnostic procedure.
The purpose of this study is to show if a new delivery system with a modified stent is safe in treating occluded iliac arteries in patients with peripheral vascular disease. The modified Complete SE delivery system is hypothesized to assist physicians with more accurate stent placement reducing the likelihood of stent 'jumping' seen with the use of many self-expanding stent systems.
The purpose of this ascending-dose research study is to determine whether the administration of ARC1779 Injection improves subject's health profile by protecting the brain, heart, and kidney from damage due to formation of small blood clots in blood vessels. It will also determine the safety of ARC1779 Injection, how ARC1779 Injection enters and leaves the blood and tissue over time, and its effect on laboratory tests related to blood clotting, heart and brain function, and other body systems.
