Filter by:The introduction of drug-eluting stents (DES) in the treatment of coronary artery disease has led to a significant reduction in morbidity. However, the first generation of these devices had no positive impact on the mortality after PCI (compared to bare metal stents), which was greatly attributed to a somewhat increased incidence of late and very late stent thrombosis. Concerns about the role of durable polymers as a potential trigger of inflammation and finally adverse events also led to the development of DES with biodegradable coatings, which leave after degradation of the coating only a bare metal stent in the vessel wall that does not induce an inflammatory response. While such biodegradable polymer DES are increasingly used in clinical practice, there is no data available from head-to-head comparisons between biodegradable and contemporary third generation durable polymer DES.
To evaluate the safety and effectiveness of the ALEX stent in a real-world setting of percutaneous coronary interventions in patients with coronary heart disease.
The purpose of this study is to determine in soccer fans whether and to which extend positive or negative emotions during the European soccer Championship affects Central Hemodynamics, Arterial Stiffness, Heartrate and Endothelial Dysfunktion.
In this study, typical cases of blood stasis syndrome of coronary heart disease are selected, by using microRNA chip, cDNA microarray and other bioinformatics technologies to filter and verify related miRNA and its target gene of Coronary Heart disease. Meanwhile, intervene by Xuesaitong soft capsules to investigate related miRNA and its target gene of Coronary Heart disease.
The aim of this study is to evaluate safety and efficacy performances of CRE8 Drug Eluting Stent, in patients comparable to the everyday's clinical practice population, with a specific focus on diabetics, that will be part of a pre-specified study subgroup.
The purpose of the study is to demonstrate the non-inferiority of Cre8 (CID) Drug Eluting Stent, studied 3 months after implant, compared to Vision/Multilink8 Bare Metal Stent (Abbott) studied at 1 month, in terms of neointimal coverage, determined by Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT), as percentage of cross-sections with RUTTS (Ratio of Uncovered to Total Stent Struts Per Cross Section) score ≤ 0.3.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Drug-Eluting Balloon first and then bare metal stent compared with drug-eluting stent for treatment of de novo lesions (DEB first).
The purpose this study is to assess whether a tirofiban regimen of a high-dose bolus plus a shortened infusion duration compared to label-dosing eptifibatide in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with a non-inferior composite rate of death, PCI-related myocardial infarction, urgent target vessel revascularization or in-hospital major bleeding within 48 hours following PCI or hospital discharge, whichever comes first.
Patients with NSTEMI and multivessel disease will be scheduled to undergo early invasive strategy (PCI within 72 hours) of de novo native coronary artery lesions were considered for recruitment into the study. Inclusion criteria are the following: diagnosis of NSTEMI according to current guidelines presenting with multivessel disease. We will exclude patients with cardiogenic shock at presentation (systolic blood pressure <90 mmHg despite drug therapy), left main coronary disease (>50% diameter stenosis), previous coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery, patients with Syntax Score >32 and candidated to by-pass surgery (10), severe valvular heart disease and unsuccessful procedures. Procedure success was defined as the achievement of an angiographic residual stenosis of less than 30% and a thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) flow grade III after PCI. Patients randomized to One-Stage group were completely revascularizated in one time PCI, whereas patients randomized to Multi-Staged group were completely revascularizated in more time PCI, during the same hospitalization. Patients received a clopidogrel loading dose of 600 mg before the PCI (for loading dose administered more than 6 h prior to procedure). Post-procedural antiplatelet regimen consisted of aspirin at 100 mg/day indefinitely and clopidogrel 75 mg/day for at least one month.
The primary aim of this study is to increase our understanding of care-seeking behavior surrounding heart attacks or acute coronary syndromes [ACS]. This study uses an internet based survey to ask individuals how they obtained medical care in the midst of a heart attack. At present, care-seeking delay among individuals stricken with a heart attack prevents them from obtaining the full therapeutic benefit of hospital based medical care in a timely manner to reduce the long term health consequences of a heart attack. By using a self-tailoring survey instrument the study attempts to take into consideration the complex social processes by which the individual and their family make decisions to seek medical care for symptoms of a heart attack. The study is designed to obtain a national sample of ACS care-seeking behavior in the United States.
