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.
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.
The first aim of this trial is to assess the long-term prognostic value of Omega-3 index, which is a measure of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) relative to other fatty acids in the erythrocyte membrane, in an unselected, regional multicenter observational study of 982 chest pain patients admitted to the emergency unit, employing blood samples collected at admission. The second purpose of this study is to evaluate the prognostic utility of vitamin D in the same population. The third purpose of this study is to assess the incremental prognostic value of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hsCRP).
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate non-inferiority in terms of safety and efficacy of DES Limus Carbostent compared to the Taxus Liberté in treating de-novo atherosclerotic lesions in native coronary arteries.
The goal of this clinical research study is to compare the effects of sodium bicarbonate to normal saline when used for clearing mucus blockage in patients with airway stents.
Pioglitazone is used in the treatment of diabetic patients. Thiazolidinediones increase insulin sensitivity and show favorable effect on blood glucose levels and lipid profiles. The effect of pioglitazone on atherosclerotic and inflammatory markers has not been compared in prospective manner after everolimus-eluting stent implantation by OCT. The purpose of this prospective, randomized, open-label trial is to compare the effect of pioglitazone on neointima volume and atherosclerosis progression in type 2 diabetic patients by using OCT. Moreover, changes in neointima characteristics could be analyzed along with the changes in miRNA-21, -126, -143, -145. Major adverse cardiovascular events such as non-fatal MI, death, stroke, and TLR could be compared.
