Coronary CT angiography is challenging in patients with more than mildly calcified coronary vessels, because of calcium artefacts that prevents evaluation of the lumen. The purpose of the CCT-PCD-1-study is to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy and image quality in coronary CT angiography using a commercially available CT system equipped with a photon counting detector technology. Patients referred for cardiac CT and conventional coronary angiography as part of routine preoperative evaluation before Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) will be asked for inclusion in the study. This group of patients has generally a coronary artery calcium burden and perform cardiac CT and coronary angiography as part of routine care. The diagnostic accuracy concerning significant coronary artery stenosis on the preoperative CT will be evaluated with the conventional coronary angiography as reference. Also, CT examination image quality will be evaluated.
Background. Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD) comprising coronary disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral artery disease, and aortic atherosclerosis caused 8.9 million deaths worldwide according to reports submitted by the World Health Organization during 2019, the development and progression of atherosclerosis is favored in the presence of modifiable risk factors such as dyslipidemia. In Mexico, during the period from December 29, 2019, to August 29, 2020, 141,873 deaths from heart disease were reported, even above the 108,658 deaths from SARS COV2 in the same time period. Although it is known that the Mexican mestizo population is susceptible to certain metabolic lipid disorders related to genetic variants, the frequency of dyslipidemia in patients with high cardiovascular risk is unknown to date and may be responsible for this increase. On the other hand, it has been shown that lowering LDL-C levels in this population by means of the pharmacological or dietary treatment stated the current guidelines, decreases chance of death, heart failure, angina, re-infarction or need for coronary revascularization; however, there are still patients not achieving treatment goals. Consequently, it is suggested that through the implementation and correct use of technological tools it is possible to increase efficiency in the medical follow-up of patients, allowing for appropriate lipid levels, like other chronic degenerative diseases such as diabetes and systemic arterial hypertension. Objective. To describe the frequency of dyslipidemias in high-risk and very high-risk patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, who are IMSS beneficiaries, and to analyze the impact of using an application to achieve dyslipidemia treatment goals at one-year follow-up. Hypothesis For the National Register: Not required since the main objective is to carry out a national register of dyslipidemias. For the use of the application: Null hypothesis: The use of the application does not change the frequency of patients with high and extremely high atherosclerotic cardiovascular risk who achieve the goals of dyslipidemia treatment during one year of follow-up.
Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stent (DES) implantation has become the dominant treatment strategy for patients with acute and chronic coronary artery disease (CAD) requiring revascularization. Nonetheless, PCI with stent implantation has some limitations and especially patients with severely calcified coronary lesions (approximately 10-20% of all patients with CAD) have an elevated risk for adverse outcomes, including target lesion failure (TLF) and stent thrombosis (ST). Several dedicated PCI devices have been developed for treatment of severely calcified lesions. Whereas especially two of them have shown promising results in smaller, prospective studies. First, the super high-pressure NC PCI balloon (OPN™ NC, SIS Medical AG, Frauenfeld, Switzerland) has been shown to represent an effective and safe device for lesion preparation. Second, the lately introduced Shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (IVL)™ balloon catheter (Shockwave Medical, Santa Clara, CA, USA) appears to be a safe and efficient alternative device for treatment of calcified coronary lesions. However, it remains unknown, if the OPN™ NC balloon is non-inferior to to IVL regarding lesion preparation and completeness of stent expansion in severely calcified lesions.
This multicenter study involved 5 hospitals (Changhai Hospital; Yueyang Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine; Gongli Hospital; Putuo Hospital of Shanghai University of Traditional Chinese Medicine; No. 904 Hospital of the PLA Joint Logistics Support Force Wuxi). The study enrolled 3637 patients with coronary atherosclerosis who were confirmed by coronary angiography from January 2017 through December 2018.

This is a Prospective randomized controlled study to evaluate the difference of safety，effectiveness between endovascular debulking combined drug-coated balloon and balloon dilatation combined stent angioplasty in treatment of femoral-popliteal artery lesions.
The study will evaluate the effect of Anpl-one SR Tablet on the improvement of symptoms in daily care environments using PAQ.
In non-acute symptomatic ischemic stroke, the decision-making of medical treatment plus intracranial stenting has been more and more popular, especially in patients with intracranial large severe stenosis or occlusive artery. Nonetheless, there is no evidence from randomized controlled trials evaluating the efficacy of this treatment after the Wingspan Stent System Post Market Surveillance (WEAVE) and Wingspan One Year Vascular Imaging Events and Neurologic Outcomes (WOVEN) trial compared with medical treatment alone. This trial was to investigate whether medical treatment plus intracranial stenting would prevent the recurrent ischemic stroke in the territory of the symptomatic intracranial artery during 1-year follow-up.
The primary goal of the trial is to determine if the experimental arms (rivaroxaban or ticagrelor or both) are superior to the clopidogrel arm for lowering the 1-year rate of ischemic stroke, intracerebral hemorrhage, or vascular death.
