Filter by:A Prospective, Multicentre, Pilot Study to Evaluate the Safety and Performance of the AdvaPro Sirolimus Eluting Coronary Stent System in Coronary Artery Stenosis in Indian and European Population. To evaluate the performance of AdvaPro Sirolimus Eluting Stent follow up indicated by MACE at 9 months. Of the 120, 40 patients will be assigned to European population and 80 patients will be assigned to Indian population. QCA is applicable for only in sub-strategy participants at baseline and 9 month follow-up visit. A QCA Analysis will be performed on minimum 48 patients in Indian population only. Interval(Days) for patients visit at Day 0, Day 30±6, Day 180±8, Day 270±10 and Day 360±14.
In this study, the primary aim is to compare the impact of using a double-lumen tube and bronchial blocker for single-lung ventilation in patients undergoing minimal invasive cardiac surgeries on postoperative pulmonary functions. Secondary objectives include the comparison of application duration, success in lung collapse, and the number of repositioning attempts for both techniques.
The goal of this observational study is to learn about cardiac biomarker release following exercise in amateur athletes. The main questions it aims to answer are: Question 1: What are the reference values for exercise-induced cardiac troponin elevations following walking, cycling and running exercise? Hypothesis 1: We hypothesize that the exercise-induced cTn release is different following walking, cycling and running exercise. Therefore, we will establish reference values for post-exercise cTn concentrations across each of these sport types. Question 2: Is the prevalence of (subclinical) coronary artery disease higher in individuals with high post-exercise cardiac troponin concentrations in comparison to individuals with low post-exercise cardiac troponin concentrations? Hypothesis 2: We hypothesize that athletes with the highest post-exercise cTn concentrations have a higher prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis compared to athletes matched for sex and age with the lowest post-exercise cTn concentrations. Question 3: What is the association between post-exercise cardiac troponin concentrations and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) and mortality during long-term follow-up? Hypothesis 3: We hypothesize that post-exercise cTn concentrations beyond the 99th percentile are associated with an increased risk for MACE and mortality during follow-up. This study consists of three phases: Phase 1: two or three visits to the study location for (amongst other measurements) blood draws to assess cardiac troponin concentrations Phase 2: CT scan of the heart in 10% of participants to assess the prevalence of (subclinicial) coronary artery disease. Phase 3: longitudinal follow-up to assess the incidence of major adverse cardiovascular events and mortality during 20-year follow-up. Participants will visit our study centre two, three or four times: Visit 1: baseline measurements including height, weight, body composition and blood pressure will be obtained and a blood sample will be drawn. Visit 2: a blood sample will be drawn and activity data will be obtained from participants' own sports watch or bike computer. Optional visit 3: a blood sample will be drawn. Visit 4: 10% of participants will undergo a cardiac CT scan to assess the prevalence of (subclinical) coronary artery disease.
Evidence for the usefulness of the defibrillator in cases of preserved left ventricular ejection fraction and well-tolerated ventricular tachycardia (without cardiocirculatory arrest or syncope) is lacking, as no previous trials have included such patients. Additionally, sudden death in this particular population is low compared to other subgroups of patients with malignant ventricular arrhythmias. On the other hand, numerous recent retrospective data show that ablation of ventricular tachycardia can reduce mortality, and also clearly reduces the number of recurrences in prospective studies. Finally, a very low rate of sudden death was observed in a multicenter European retrospective study that we conducted, including patients with well-tolerated ventricular tachycardia in structural heart disease with minimally impaired ejection fraction and benefiting from ablation without implantation of defibrillator.
This trial adopts a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, and non-inferiority comparison trial design, and plans to recruit 200 eligible subjects who will be randomly assigned to the experimental group or the control group in a 1:1 ratio. All randomly enrolled subjects will be followed up until 30 days after the surgery.
Phase 2, single-center, randomized, blinded clinical study to assess the safety and efficacy of topical nitroglycerin on ease of TRA during scheduled PCI. We will compare topical nitroglycerin to placebo applied prior to planned, non-urgent PCI to determine if nitroglycerin is associated with decreased number of arterial puncture attempts made, decreased time to radial access, and lower crossover rate to TFA. Subjects will be randomized to receive either topical nitroglycerin ointment or placebo prior to scheduled PCI. There will be 256 subjects enrolled in this study with 1:1 randomization.
To evaluate the efficacy and safety of phentolamine in prevention of CA-AKI following complex PCI in patients at high risk of CA-AKI.
There is no specific recommendation regarding pharmacologic treatment as primary prevention for patients with intermediate coronary artery stenosis whose revascularization was deferred based on negative fractional flow reserve (FFR). Current nationwide cohort study conducted using Korean National Health Insurance Service database evaluated the safety and efficacy of antiplatelet therapy in patients with intermediate coronary artery stenosis with deferred revascularization based on negative FFR (FFR>0.80).
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the role of coronary CT angiogram (CCTA) as a superior guide for the assessment of coronary artery plaque and guiding treatment decisions. The investigators also assess the impact of preventive cardiovascular drugs on the plaque to improve patient outcomes. Participants aged 18-80 years, at intermediate or high-risk for coronary artery disease, with non-obstructive plaque on initial CCTA, will be enrolled in this study. They will be randomized into Standard of Care (SOC) vs. Aggressive Therapy (AT) groups. Both groups will undergo dietary and lifestyle interventions. Follow-up will consist of blood tests and clinic visits at baseline, 9 months, and 18 months. The second CCTA will be performed at 18 months to assess the change in plaque burden, characteristics, ischemia and pericoronary/epicardial fat.
The study will include patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation and multivessel CA lesion, who are subject to surgical treatment according to KG data (Syntax Score 23 - 32 points with significant damage to the anterior descending artery and/or trunk of the left coronary artery). The patient should be suitable for both CABG and PCI (confirmed by an X-ray surgeon and a cardiac surgeon). An X-ray surgeon and a cardiac surgeon, within the framework of planning the volume of revascularization, strives for the fullest feasible volume. Complete myocardial revascularization (that is, the desire for the absence of hemodynamically significant coronary arteries after revascularization, with a diameter of > 2.5 mm, that is, residual coronary artery stenosis of no more than 60%). Thus, patients will be randomized into groups in a ratio of 1:1. Each group will need to include 230 patients (a total of 460). In the main group, revascularization will be performed by PCI, in the control group by CABG.
