Filter by:A multi-center, prospective, consecutive enrolled, observational registry. The population being studied includes all patients undergoing treatment of "de novo" lesions in native coronary vessels, saphenous vein graft and/or arterial bypass conduits with the COBRA PzF coronary stent system. The registry will primarily assess the rate of MACE (cardiac death, myocardial infarction and clinically driven target lesion revascularization.
This is a pilot study designed to assess the relationship between iFR (instantaneous wave-free ratio) pullback and the distribution of coronary atheroma/stenoses as assessed by Quantitative Coronary Angiography (QCA) post angiographically successful PCI (Percutaneous Coronary Intervention).
This study aims to evaluate if the 1-hour rule-in/rule-out algorithm for a high-sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) is safe and effective for use in the primary care where the patients have a lower pretest probability of an acute myocardial infarction (MI). During this study troponins will be collected at 0-, 1- and 4/6-hours, where absolute changes in the values will decide whether the patient need hospitalization or not.
The investigators prospectively want to compare 3 clinical tests for measuring blood troponin levels in patients presenting to the emergency room with thoracic pain probably related to a myocardial infarction with regard to the time necessary to obtain the test results. The tests are one laboratory based test and two point of care tests.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate differences in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ticagrelor and its active metabolite between patients who received ticagrelor and morphine followed by naloxone versus patients treated with ticagrelor and morphine alone for unstable angina pectoris.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate differences in the pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of ticagrelor and its active metabolite between patients who received ticagrelor and morphine followed by metoclopramide versus patients treated with ticagrelor and morphine alone for unstable angina pectoris.
Patients with troponin-negative acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are not routinely pre-treated with P2Y12 inhibitors and the rate of high on-treatment platelet reactivity (HPR) remains elevated after a loading dose of ticagrelor at the time of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This suggests that faster platelet inhibition with crushed ticagrelor , eptifibatide , or cangrelor is needed to reduce HPR and periprocedural myocardial infarction and injury (PMI). The present study compared the effects of crushed ticagrelor vs. eptifibatide bolus + clopidogrel in troponin-negative ACS patients undergoing PCI.
CFD simulations in this study provide detailed hemodynamics information, which cannot be obtained from cardiac images alone. The investigators hypothesize that our proposed simulations will provide strong correlation between hemodynamic parameters, such as WSSG and SPA, and clinically identified graft stenosis. These correlations will allow the investigators to identify the future patients at high risk of graft stenosis and lead to future researches on optimizing and refining surgical plans, such as finding optimal proximal and distal anastomoses locations, optimal graft length and diameter, which could lead to improved longevity of the graft. Once CFD coupled shape optimizer is validated, it could be part of the surgical simulator to help in training the next generation physicians. It could provide new viewpoints for assessing whether some modified surgical techniques are better or not. It could also aid in designing and evaluating the vascular medical devices, including stent, artificial graft, and etc., which would lead to better surgical outcome.
This study involves the use of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) to determine whether blood clots can be identified within the blood vessels supplying blood to the heart in patients with angina and who have recently suffered a heart attack.
The objective of this study is a comparative evaluation of BuMA Supreme™ stent and of Xience V/Prime stent in terms of the extent of neointima formation at 1 or 2 months after implanting in relatively high bleeding risk patients with coronary artery disease using OCT.
