Filter by:Mortality rates after acute ischemic stroke remain high despite continuously improving treatment. In this context, it is important to note that a relevant portion of acute ischemic stroke patients die from adverse cardiovascular events, such as myocardial infarction, rather than from complications associated with the stroke itself. A possible reason might be that this patient group often suffers from at least moderate asymptomatic coronary artery disease. This study seeks to integrate cardiac computed tomography angiography into the standard-of-care diagnostic protocol of acute ischemic stroke. The aim of this prospective mono-centric trial is to enable accurate diagnosis of therapy-relevant coronary artery disease, other concomitant cardiac findings and cardiac causes of acute ischemic stroke, without delaying stroke therapy. In the long-run, the goal is to investigate whether cardiac computed tomography angiography and the resulting therapeutic measures (interventions or medications added) can improve functional outcome and rate of adverse cardiac complications in patients with acute ischemic stroke compared to a retrospective matched-cohort of patients without cardiac CT imaging.
To validate and investigate the efficacy of comprehensive functional assessments for the diagnostic and prognostic value in NOCAD.
The aim of this research to examine the effectiveness of video-education on pain, anxiety, and knowledge levels on adult patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery.
The goal of this clinical trail is to evaluate the effectiveness and accuracy of the CCTA image assisted triage software(DeepVessel® Cardisight, Keya Medical.) for the triage of patients with suspected coronary artery disease.
The utility of Ultra High-Resolution Computed Tomography (UHR-CT) compared to conventional CT in all-comers (i.e., a generally lower-risk population) remains uncertain but is an important area of study in order to justify wider spread implementation and use of this technology, particularly in light of reports of significantly higher radiation exposure with UHR-CT, as well as longer scan times. The availability of technology to reconstruct conventional resolution (CR) simulation images from the raw CT acquisition data acquired on the UHR-CT scanner offers a unique platform to study this question without subjecting individuals to two different scans. The primary objective of this study is to generate preliminary data in support of the hypothesis that noninvasive UHR-CT is superior to conventional resolution CT for identifying patients with obstructive CHD.
The goal of this observational study is to investigate the potential differences in thrombogenicity between black and white patients admitted with atherothrombotic events including acute coronary syndrome, multi-vessel coronary disease, and ischemic stroke. Participants will engage in laboratory testing and health outcome assessments.
The aim of this observational study is to compare the prognostic outcomes of various PCI strategies in elderly patients with complex coronary calcified lesions. The patients will be classified into two groups and assigned different PCI strategies, either stenting or stenting combined with pharmacologic balloon implantation. The investigators will assess the one-year prognosis for major adverse cardiovascular events in these patients.
The investigators intend to establish a multicenter prospective observational study by enrolling and tracking patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (MVCAD) using Genoss DES, a device manufactured with pure domestic technology. The study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Genoss DES in MVCAD patients.
Percutaneous coronary intervention for coronary bifurcation lesions represents one of the most challenging procedures in interventional cardiology because of lower angiographic success rate and increased risk of procedural complications. The study is designed to enroll 200 patients with acute or chronic coronary syndromes that meet the indications for intervention and with angiographic confirmed de novo Medina type 0,1,0 or 0,0,1 bifurcation lesion. In view of the potential risks of using DCB alone in the treatment of de novo bifurcation lesions, the following 2 treatment strategies are available. (1) DCB combined with provisional DES implantation 1-2 mm distally to the lesion ostium whenever this was required (DCB+pDES strategy). (2) DES implantation 1-2 mm distally to the lesion ostium followed by DCB (DES+DCB strategy). The primary endpoint was late lumen loss and major adverse cardiovascular events.
Distal radial access (DRA) in the anatomical snuffbox (AS) is a relatively novel approach that can be considered an alternative to trans radial access (TRA) for coronary procedures. Several observational and randomized studies have established its feasibility and safety, with evidence of certain advantages over TRA, such as a reduction in hemostasis time, a lower incidence of complications at the puncture site, and a lower incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Notwithstanding that a recent randomized study reported a similar RAO rate between DRA and TRA, several meta-analyzes confirm the advantages of DRA, despite a consistently higher crossover rate. The objective of this observational study is to assess the performance of the procedure and to compare clinical characteristics in an all-comer population undergoing diagnostic or interventional coronary procedures. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Determine the success rate of DRA and measure the incidence of RAO in an all-comer population undergoing coronary procedures. - Compare the clinical and anatomical characteristics of patients with DRA for coronary procedures and determine predictors of failure of access.
