Filter by: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.
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.
This study is planned to evaluate the effect of left posterior pericardiotomy for the prevention of postoperative atrial fibrillation after coronary artery bypass grafting. Eligible patients will be randomized to be created or not to be created the left posterior pericardiotomy at the end of the operation, and the incidence of postoperative atrial fibrillation will be compared.
The FAME-II trial was a prospective, multicenter, multinational, multi-continental, randomized clinical trial with an 'all comers' design. The overall purpose of the FAME-II trial was to compare the clinical outcomes, safety and cost-effectiveness of FFR-guided PCI plus optimal medical treatment (OMT) versus OMT alone in patients with stable coronary artery disease and in whom both PCI and medical treatment can be considered on the basis of the presently existing scientific evidence. FAME-II was conducted from 2009 to 2012 and 1-year, 2-year and 5-year results have been published. The purpose of this 10-Year Follow-up is to evaluate the 10-year major adverse cardiac event rate (MACE, defined as all-cause death, documented myocardial infarction, unplanned hospitalization leading to urgent revascularization). Patients will have to sign a specific informed consent for the present 10-year follow-up. This study will be conducted for about approximately 6 months.
The objective of this study is to investigate the incidence of death and early postoperative complications, identify potential risk factors, and examine the demographic characteristics of patients and epidemiology of cardiovascular procedures. Our hypothesis is that gaining a more comprehensive understanding of the characteristics of patients who undergo cardiac surgery has the potential to improve outcomes for this patient profile. Thus, information was sought regarding the patient characteristics, surgeries performed, anesthesia administered, incidence of intraoperative and postoperative complications, and risk factors associated with complication and mortality in the ICU. The main questions it aims to answer are: - Incidence of mortality or severe postoperative complications that occur within the first 3 postoperative days or until discharge from the ICU. - Risk factors associated with severe complications in patients who undergo cardiac surgery. - Characteristics of patients, anesthesia and surgical procedures performed - Incidence of severe intraoperative complications and moderate postoperative complications - Evaluate the influence of accumulated fluid balance on outcomes, mortality, and length of ICU stay. - Evaluate mortality in the ICU. - Describe the risk factors associated with mortality.
Early feasibility study of the DurVena Photochemical Tissue Passivation (PTP) device for treatment of saphenous vein grafts in participants undergoing elective coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. Study to be conducted outside the U.S.
This is a Phase IIA, randomized, double blind, placebo controlled, multicenter study designed to assess the safety, feasibility, and efficacy of umbilical cord derived mesenchymal stromal cells (UC MSCs), administered intravenously (IV) as a single dose or repeated doses, in patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM).
