Filter by:The purpose of this study (Study INZ701-304 [ADAPT]) is to assess the long-term safety of INZ-701 in patients with ENPP1 Deficiency or ABCC6 Deficiency who have received INZ-701 in an existing clinical study and choose to continue dosing for the potential treatment of their condition.
CAIS-MT is a single-center, prospective cohort study, to evaluate the correlation between outcomes of endovascular treatment(EVT) and intracranial artery calcification(IAC) in patients with acute ischemic stroke due to large or medium vessel occlusion.
A chronic total occlusion (CTO) is present in 15-20% of patients who are referred for invasive coronary angiography. CTO Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) procedure success rates have increased over the years and can be as high as 90% when performed by high-volume CTO operators.Procedurally, excess calcification in the CTO anatomy is one factor which makes it difficult to complete the procedure or obtain ideal stent expansion. Excess calcification is best identified by Computed Tomography Coronary Angiography (CTCA) rather than invasive angiography. The investigators plan to retrospectively evaluate CTCA in patients who underwent CTO PCI and correlate calcification characteristics with CTO PCI outcomes and tools utilised for calcium modification.
Calcification artery calcium (CAC) scoring is a valuable tool for determining the risk of major adverse cardiac events. It was found that CAC can be quantitatively assessed, by manual scoring or using deep-learning, on low-dose non electrocardiogram-gated, contrast-enhanced or non-enhanced computed tomography (CT-scan) performed in association of PET acquisition, with a good agreement with standard scans. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of a systematic coronary artery calcification evaluation in patients undergoing flourine-18 fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG PET/CT) imaging to improve primary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. A visual calcification artery calcium assessment will be made for each patient, dividing them into four groups: none, mild, moderate or heavy calcification artery calcium. When possible, a calcification artery calcium score will be computed. Each patient will complete a questionnaire to collect risk factors, history of cardiovascular diseases and medications.
The project aims to shed light on the role of Sirtuins, enzymes belonging to the third class of histone deacetylases (class III) involved in epigenetic modifications (deacetylation), focusing mainly on Sirtuin 6 (SIRT6), as a regulator of atherosclerosis and severe aortic valve stenosis through molecular-based and epigenetic studies in human VSMC cells.
The IVL- ELCA DRAGON Registry is a multicenter study that enrolled consecutive patients with stent underexpansion treated with IVL ora ELCA in high-volume PCI centers. The primary efficacy endpoint was device success (technical success with a final stent expansion ≥ 80%). Thirty days device-oriented composite endpoint (DOCE: cardiac death, target lesion revascularization, or target vessel myocardial infarction) was the secondary endpoint.
The study hypothesis is that the rate of inadequate surgical margins after conservative breast surgery for DICS and the rate of reoperation (re-excision or/and mastectomy) is lower in the group of patients who underwent standard preoperative mammography and CEM to assess the extent of DICS, compared to the group of patients for whom the preoperative assessment of the extent of in situ breast cancer was not performed using one of the imaging techniques with contrast medium such as contrast mammography or magnetic resonance imaging.
This prospective placebo-controlled trial will enroll 20 patients with SSc and at least one calcinotic lesion of the hands that is palpable on physical examination and measurable on hand radiographs. Each subject will undergo a screening evaluation 1 month before treatment with the study drug is initiated. Each subject will be instructed to blindly self-apply either topical 25% sodium metabisulfite or placebo cream twice daily. In-person follow-up evaluations will be performed after 4-months, with monthly telehealth follow-up visits to ensure adherence and arrange study drug refill deliveries.
The primary purpose of Study INZ701-106 (The ENERGY 3 Study) is to assess the efficacy and safety of INZ-701 in children with ENPP1 Deficiency.
In calcified lesions, optimal stent placement and expansion may prove to be challenging. Lesion preparation is necessary to facilitate optimal stenting in calcified lesions, for which orbital atherectomy can used. Therefore the aim of this study is to: 1. Show that orbital atherectomy effectuates optimal stent expansion 2. Investigate the mechanics of lesion preparation when using orbital atherectomy Patients presenting with a significant and severely calcified lesion in need of orbital atherectomy will undergo optical coherence tomography guided orbital atherectomy and stent placement.
