Filter by:Coronary chronic total occlusions (CTOs) are defined as an occluded coronary vessel with TIMI defined as an occluded coronary vessel with TIMI (Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction) grade flow 0 and an estimated duration of at least 3 months. They are frequently encountered in patients undergoing coronary angiography. The application of contemporary techniques and the use of advanced dedicated equipment lead to high procedural success and low adverse events rates in experienced centers. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) is a validated tool to assess physiological severity of coronary artery disease and have a prognostic role after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). SPECT (Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography) is the golden standard for detection of myocardial ischemia. Recanalization of a CTO leads to a number of anatomical and pathophysiological changes to the coronary circulation. These include anatomical and functional collateral vessels regression and significant lumen enlargement because of recovery of blood flow and restoration of vasomotor tone. The effect of PCI on CTO is unknown. The aim of this study was to assess the functional result of CTO PCI by measuring FFR and D SPECT before and immediately post-CTO PCI and at short-term follow-up.
A prospective, active control, open-label, multinational, randomized clinical trial comparing single long BioMime™ Morph Coronary Stent System vs. two overlapping Xience family Coronary Stent Systems to evaluate safety and performance in approximately 200 patients with long de novo lesions will be randomly enrolled in a 2:1 ratio [BioMime™ Morph (n=133) vs. XIENCE family (n=67)]. The study population should include patients with symptomatic ischemic heart disease due to de novo lesions (lengths ≥26 mm and ≤56 mm irrespective of number of lesions) in native coronary arteries with a reference vessel diameter of (proximal to distal) 2.75 - 2.25 mm, 3.00 - 2.50 mm and 3.5 - 3.00 mm in patients eligible for Percutaneous Transluminal Coronary Angioplasty (PTCA) and stenting procedures. All patients must meet all the study inclusion / exclusion criteria before enrolment in the study. All subjects shall accept clinical follow up at 1 month, 6 months, 12 months, 24 months post procedure. 10% of the patients [(2:1) BioMime™ Morph (13) vs. Xience (7)] will be assessed for OCT analysis from pre-designated site(s) and based on availability of OCT console at the site and Patient's consent. [Time Frame: Post-procedure and 6 months (±14 days)]
1. Prospective, randomized, multicenter clinical study 2. This is a post-marketing clinical study to evaluate whether it will affect the safety event when it is used in different treatment ways. Adopting non - inferiority design, 2700 cases were enrolled. 3. EDC system (eCRF electronic data collection system) 4. Follow-up points: 30 days,3 months, 12 months, 24 months, 36 months, 48 months and 60 months after the operation;
Atherosclerosis is a progressive disease of the arterial wall, arising from the combination of endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. This link is exacerbated in diabetic patients. Uric acid is known to generate oxidative stress and it's elevated levels has been shown to be associated with cardiac hypertrophy, inflammation, myocardial fibrosis and diastolic dysfunction. Allopurinol inhibits xanthine oxidase, an enzyme that regulates uric acid production. In observational studies it has been shown to reduce ischemia, inflammation and improve coronary flow. The aim of this study is to see whether treatment with Allopurinol in patients diagnosed with multivessel disease and undergoing treatment with either percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) or coronary artery bypass surgery (CABG) , will reduce markers of inflammation and improve quality of life and major adverse cardiovascular effects (MACE).
Computed Tomography Derived Fractional Flow Reserve (CT-FFR) is a noninvasive method for evaluating the hemodynamic significance of coronary artery lesions by using coronary CT Angiography (CCTA) as opposed to invasive FFR examination under invasive coronary angiography. The purpose of the CT-FFR-CHINA study is to verify that the diagnostic performance of hemodynamically significant lesions by CT-FFR is superior than routine anatomic evaluation of diameter stenosis using CCTA alone using invasive FFR as the reference standard, exclusively in Chinese population.
The objective of this study is to evaluate the relationship between fractional flow reserve (FFR) derived from coronary computed tomography angiography (FFRct) before transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) and FFR after TAVR so as to investigate whether FFRct is useful for evaluating myocardial ischemia of severe AS. Furthermore, by measuring the instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) which is a physiological diagnostic method of coronary artery stenosis before and after TAVR and comparing iFR (iFR before and after TAVR) and FFR (FFR after TAVR) with FFRct (FFRct before and after TAVR), It also aims to deepen understanding of resting coronary artery physiology in aortic valve stenosis.
The FUTURE-III study is a confirmative clinical trial for Sirolimus Target Eluting Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (Firesorb) after the feasibility and safety of the device has been preliminary confirmed in a small-scale First-in-Man clinical trial.
This study aim is to evaluate the additional effect of eicosapentaenoic acid and dose up effect of rosuvastatin for neoatherosclerosis in coronary artery disease patients.
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major cause of death and disability in developed countries.Human studies revealed a significant association between serum oxidative status using PON1, TBARS and thiol levels and the presence of CAD and its severity. However, these studies were addressing the severity of CAD depending on coronary angiography of patients presenting with ST elevation myocardial infarction, Non ST elevation myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, while part of them even had a history of CAD. Others where admitted for an elective coronary angiography for suspected stable CAD while only few patients were assessed for atypical chest pain. This study thus aims to assess the relationship between PON1 activity, TBARS and thiol levels and the existence of CAD and its severity in patients with no previous history of CAD presenting to the emergency department (ED) with acute chest pain but with no evidence of acute myocardial infarction or acute E.C.G ischemic changes. Assessment with a Cardiac CT scan instead of coronary angiography will allow the investigators to study the status of coronary atherosclerosis and calcium burden in all participants, including those presenting with atypical chest pain that most probably will not be referred by physicians to a coronary angiography. Further sub groups analysis will estimate this relationship particularly in low-intermediate risk groups depending on 3 different validated scoring systems - TIMI, GRACE and HEART score.
This study aims to evaluate the efficacy and safety of traditional Chinese medicine DaZhu Rhodiola Rosea Capsule for treatment of coronary artery disease by observing angina symptoms, exercise capacity, and quality of life.
