View clinical trials related to Angina, Stable.
Filter by:Background: A total of 25-50% of patients with stable coronary atherosclerosis treated with metallic stent implantation remain with effort angina despite optimal medical treatment and absence of stent restenosis at 1 year. The most plausible cause of persistent effort angina after stent implantation is microcirculatory dysfunction. Coronary circulation matches the myocardial blood supply and oxygen consumption. Metallic stent implantation has been related with endothelial dysfunction and impaired coronary blood flow reserve (relation between coronary blood flow at rest and maximal hyperemia) of the treated vessel at 1 year. Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS) has been shown to improve the endothelial function and to improve the angina symptoms at 1 year. However, the coronary blood flow of BVS has never been tested. Main objective: To determine differences in the blood average peak velocity at maximal hyperemia with adenosine infusion between patients treated with bioresorbable and metallic coronary stents at 1 year after stent implantation. Methodology: A total of 70 patients are 1:1 randomized to everolimus-eluting metallic stent (EES) versus everolimus-eluting BVS implantation in patients with stable coronary disease. At 1 year, patients undergo to invasive coronary angiography prior cessation of vasomotor drugs. A pressure/Doppler wire is advanced distally to the "treated segment" and the endothelial (acetylcholine) and non-endothelial (adenosine and nitroglycerine) vasomotor function is assessed with quantitative coronary angiography and pressure and Doppler measurements. Angina test questionnaires are obtained at different time-points of the study. Expected results: A difference between patients treated with BVS and EES of 12.0 cm/sc in the maximal average peak velocity (APV) under maximal hyperemia (with adenosine administration) is expected, as assessed by Doppler measurements, at 1 year after stent implantation. The study is powered to assess superiority in terms of maximal APV favoring patients treated with BVS.
Prospective, multi-centre, randomized, open-label, parallel comparisons to evaluate - the incidence of bleedings (COSTA-Bleed) and - the incidence of ischemic and bleeding events (COSTA-Outcome) following a therapy with the abluminal sirolimus coated bio-engineered stent (COMBO stent) in association with short-term single antiplatelet therapy as compared to a guidelines-based strategy in patients with coronary artery disease with an indication for chronic oral anticoagulant therapy.
The guideline-recommended standard of care for patients who have experienced a heart attack, heart failure, or other coronary event or procedure is exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR). Despite proven benefits, traditional CR is severely underutilized. Moreover, what is typically lacking from traditional CR programs is effective psychosocial risk management. This represents a critical gap in care given the well-documented psychosocial needs of this patient population.The objective of this feasibility study is to conduct a pilot randomized controlled trial (RCT) of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) versus usual care in CR-eligible cardiac patients. Randomization will be stratified within two strata based on participation in CR (yes/no) among CR-eligible patients. The primary goals of this pilot study are to: 1) obtain estimates of treatment effects and variability; 2) evaluate recruitment and retention strategies; and 3) examine the safety of the MBSR protocol in CR-eligible patients.
The purpose of this study is to collect long term data of the Reducer System in subjects with refractory angina pectoris.
Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) has remained significant and severe complication of angiographic procedures despite the increasing use of preventative methods. It has been associated with prolonged hospital stay, high morality and the need for dialysis. Since classically used creatinine for diagnosing of CIN does not reflect the degree of tubular injury before 24-48 hours after exposure to contrast media alternative earlier biomarkers and preventative methods are needed. Remote ischemic preconditioning is a non-invasive and safe method which in some studies has been reported to protect against contrast-induced nephropathy. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of remote ischemic preconditioning (RIPC) (1) as an additional method to standard treatment to prevent subclinical and clinical contrast-induced acute kidney injury and (2) to assess its effect on functional properties of arterial wall, organ damage biomarkers and low molecular weight metabolites.
To compare the safety and efficacy of FFR (fractional flow reserve)-guided percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) strategy with IVUS (intravascular ultrasound [IVUS])-guided PCI in patients with intermediate coronary stenosis.
The purpose of the study is to compare two different types of decision support materials for patients considering treatment for chest pain or chest discomfort from heart disease.
This clinical trial studies patients treated with the Coroflex ISAR Stent for coronary artery disease in order for the objective of verifying the non-inferiority of results that among patients who were administered DAPT for 3 months compared to patients who were administered DAPT for 6 months, in terms of the efficacy and safety of DAPT.
We had little experience in coronary intervention with recently introduced newer drug-eluting stent (DES) platforms, despite great anticipation, and optimal duration of dual antiplatelet therapy (DAPT) for these stent systems still needs to be established. Herein, we plan the HOST-coronary intervention with next-generation drug-eluting stent platforms and abbreviated dual antiplatelet therapy (HOST-IDEA) trial to compare single antiplatelet therapy (SAPT) after 3-month DAPT with 12-month DAPT in all-comers undergoing coronary intervention with third-generation DES with the thinnest struts. P2Y12 inhibitor treatment is added to aspirin during the 3-months period after the stenting, and this abbreviated duration of DAPT will be compared with conventional 1-year mandatory DAPT regimen in a 1:1 randomized stratification. Net adverse clinical events (NACEs), a composite of cardiac death, target vessel related myocardial infarction, clinically-drivent target lesion revascularization, definite or probable stent thrombosis and major bleeding is a primary endpoint for evaluating safety and efficacy of the difference of DAPT duration. 1-year target lesion failure (TLF) as a composite of cardiac death, target vessel related myocardial infarction and clinically driven target lesion revascularization will be identified as a secondary ischemic outcome. 1-year major bleeding events classified as BARC type 3 or 5 bleeding events will be identified as a secondary bleeding outcome. With this trial, you will be able to get clear insight on the behavior of newer DES platforms. Reference data for the shortened mandatory DAPT regimen will also be delineated in the selected patients, and it might be helpful to those who need it.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether patients undergoing coronary intervention that also require oral anticoagulation, treatment with the COBRA PzF stent plus 14-day dual anti-platelet therapy (DAPT) has higher safety and non-inferior outcomes for thrombo-embolic events than compared with standard FDA-approved drug eluting stent (DES) plus 3 or 6-month DAPT.
