Filter by:Prasugrel and ticagrelor were both associated with a significant reduction in the risk of MACE in patients undergoing PCI for an ACS, mostly through a reduced stent thrombosis. The 1-year relative risk reduction (RRR) of definite of probable stent thrombosis in patients receiving a DES were fairly different in TRITON-TIMI 38 and PLATO trials. The incidence of "biologically active" stent (DES or BVS) thrombosis is largely variable according to different lesion settings. We aim to verify the translation of the postulated different reduction in thrombosis rate among various P2Y12 inhibitors (clopidogrel, prasugrel and ticagrelor) in a high-risk setting such as the PCI with DES or BVS in CTO and bifurcating lesions.
To collect data on the routine patterns of use, safety and effectiveness, including the clinical and technical performance of the CorPath 200 System, in the delivery and manipulation of coronary guidewires and stent/balloon catheters during PCI procedures.
The registry aims to evaluate the safety, performance and efficacy of the Everolimus-eluting bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS) system following rotational atherectomy in patients with complex de novo native coronary artery lesions in all-day clinical practice.
The aim of this clinical trial is to evaluate the effect of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS) treatment in heart failure patients following coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery or other coronary reperfusion.
A prospective, multicentric, randomized controlled trial to assess the safety and performance of the Passeo-18 Lux Paclitaxel releasing PTA balloon catheter versus the uncoated Passeo 18 PTA balloon catheter for the treatment of stenosis, restenosis or occlusion of the infrapopliteal arteries.
To demonstrate the incremental utility of SSF for individuals undergoing CCTA, with expected improvements in image quality and diagnostic accuracy.
Background: - Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is type of imaging study that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to take pictures of the body. To help the images show up more clearly, a contrast agent is injected into a vein. Researchers are interested in finding contrast agents that can help show problems with the blood vessels around the heart. They want to test an agent called Gadofosveset Trisodium to see how it works in MRI scans. Objectives: - To test the effectiveness of Gadofosveset Trisodium as a contrast agent in heart MRI scans. Eligibility: - Healthy volunteers between 18 and 45 years of age. Design: - Participants will be screened with a physical exam and medical history. They will provide blood samples before the scanning sessions. - Participants will have an MRI scan after the screening visit. They will have a dose of the contrast scan before the study. - Participants will return for one additional MRI scan within 1 to 2 months of each scan. Different doses of the contrast agent will be used for each scan. - An additional blood sample will be collected within 1 week of the second MRI scan.
Coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) using the radial artery (RA) has since the nineties gone through a revival. The initially reported worse outcome in RA graft patients compared to patients grafted with the saphenous vein (SV) has since been corrected. Studies have shown better patency when using RA, so the RA is going to be preferred more and more especially in younger patients where long time patency is critical. During the last 10 years endoscopic techniques to harvest the RA have evolved. Multiple different techniques have been used, but now the equipment and technique have been refined and are highly reliable. The investigators hypothesize that the endoscopic technique has less complications and a just as good patency as open harvest. There are also two possible ways to use the RA as a graft. One way is sewing it onto the aorta and another way is sewing it onto the mammarian artery. The investigators hypothesize that using it on the mammarian artery is superior as a revascularisation technique with just as good a patency as sewing it directly onto the aorta.
The objective of this study is to compare reduced-dose prasugrel and standard dose clopidogrel in patients older than 74 years with ACS, including non-ST-elevation (NSTEACS) and ST-elevation (STEMI) patients, undergoing early PCI. The primary endpoint of the trial will be the one-year composite of (all-cause)death, myocardial infarction, stroke and re-hospitalization due to cardiovascular reasons or bleeding.
A prospective case-control study was performed to investigate the effect of iloprost on the intraoperative flow volume in diabetic and non-diabetic patients as well as the effect of peripheral neuropathy in patients with peripheral arterial occlusive disease (PAOD) undergoing arterial reconstruction (primary endpoint). 100 patients undergoing femoral artery reconstruction or femorodistal bypass surgery were included. Prior to surgery, peripheral nerve conduction velocity was measured. Blood flow volume at the common femoral artery was assessed using a Doppler flowmeter (Sono TT FlowLab; ) before reconstruction, prior to the intraarterial application of 3000ng of iloprost and 5 and 10 minutes afterwards. Peripheral resistance units (PRU) were calculated as a function of mean systemic arterial pressure (MAP) and flow volume (VF): PRU = MAP (mmHg) / VF (ml/min).
