Filter by:- The purpose of this study is to examine the effects of tirofiban on platelet function the Ultegra RPFA in diabetic patients undergoing elective coronary angioplasty and stenting already treated with high loading dose (600mg) clopidogrel. - About 44 people will be in the study. The study duration is a single hospitalization period during which the angioplasty will be performed in addition to a 30-day post hospitalization follow-up period. - Patients taking part in the study will be assigned by chance into two groups. - Group 1: patients will be treated with the glycoprotein inhibitor, Tirofiban (25mcg/kg over 3 min bolus dose and 0.15 mcg/kg/hr for 12-24 hours), started immediately after insertion of the sheath. - Group 2: patients will be treated with equivalent placebo All patients will be loaded with 600 mg clopidogrel at least 4 hours prior to scheduled intervention. All patients will have platelet function analyses at baseline and following treatment.
REHEAT 2 study is designed as a prospective, randomised trial comparing two strategies of myocardial revascularisation (PCI vs CABG) in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and low left ventricular ejection fraction.Patients will undergo in random way PCI or CABG procedure. The aim the study is to assess the improvement of left ventricle systolic function and comparing recent (30 days) and late (12 months) results of surgical (CABG) and percutaneous (PCI) revascularization.
The purpose of this study is to determine whether treatment with melatonin can reduce cell damage and inflammation in connection with laparoscopic gall bladder surgery.
This study will evaluate the 3 drug-eluting stents presently marketed for intervention in the coronary artery with respect to the complications that may occur in case it becomes necessary to retract the stent during the intervention. It has been noted that stents carrying a drug for local application may be more difficult to retract than the more smooth bare metal stents.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the clinical and angiographic outcome of implantation of stents eluting or not eluting Sirolimus in patients with complex coronary artery lesions suitable for percutaneous coronary intervention.
The purpose of this study is to explore the severity of malnutrition and inflammation in Taiwanese hemodialysis patients.
Treatment for no-option heart patients with coronary artery disease. Procedure includes the injection into the heart of a protein growth factor, administered by the Biological Delivery Systems MyoStar injection and mapping catheters, to stimulate the growth of blood vessels around blocked coronary arteries.
MyoCell™ implantation by epicardial injection during CABG surgery has the potential to add a new dimension to the management of post-infarct deterioration of cardiac function. Based on existing non-clinical studies and clinical reports, implantation of autologous skeletal myoblasts appears to lead to the replacement of non-functioning myocardial scar with functioning muscle and appears to improve myocardial performance relative to case without myoblast implantation. In a few investigational patients, myoblast implantation can be, and has been, done in conjunction with CABG and appears to have the potential to provide for additive treatment during surgery. The present study is being conducted to evaluate more fully the safety of MyoCell™ implantation via epicardial injection during CABG surgery and its effect on regional myocardial function.
