Filter by:Design: Single center, single-blind randomized controlled trial of patients with high risk native coronary artery lesions (defined as ≥2 contiguous yellow blocks on the block chemogram) requiring clinically indicated percutaneous coronary intervention. Patients will be randomized to either a combined intervention or conventional PCI. Cardiac biomarker measurements will be performed before PCI and 18-24 hours later. Treatment: Combined intervention consisting of pre-PCI intracoronary vasodilator and glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor administration, use of an EPD if technically feasible, and complete coverage of the lipid core plaque, if technically feasible. Control: Conventional PCI. Duration: 30 days follow-up. The primary trial objective is to compare the incidence and size of periprocedural MI, as assessed by the peak post-PCI troponin distribution in the two study groups. The secondary endpoints are: (1) Reduction in the incidence of >3x and >10x upper limit of normal increase in CK-MB. (2) Reduction in the incidence of slow flow/no-reflow post PCI. (3) Lower incidence of major adverse cardiac events, defined as the composite of death, acute coronary syndrome, or coronary revascularization) during 30-day follow-up.
This study aims at evaluating the feasibility of CT myocardial perfusion imaging in daily clinical practice and compare it to SPECT perfusion imaging in order to assess sensitivity and specifity of CT myocardial perfusion imaging compared to SPECT.
Prospective, multi-center, post-market, non-randomized, nested-control, observational study of the CE marked CardioKinetix Parachute Implant System.
The presence of Obstructive Sleep Apnea Syndrome (OSAS) has a high frequency in patients victims of a coronary artery disease (CAD) (myocardial infarction, revascularization). Unlike patients seen in a sleep Laboratory with an impact on daytime functioning, CAD apneic patients do not complain in their daytime functioning. The objective of this study is to explore whether the objective cognitive assessment measures may be a good marker of the efficacy of CPAP treatment given to non-sleepy apneic CAD patients. Coronary patients with an AHI between 15 and 40 / h will be treated (or not) after randomization with CPAP treatment. The expected results are: CPAP apneic coronary patients should have a positive impact on cognitive performance, particularly on attention span and working memory measured by improvement in the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test score (PASAT score).
Drug-coated balloon technology (DCB) has recently attracted considerable interest as a promising alternative treatment option, particularly in the setting of in-stent restenosis (ISR). Optical coherence tomographic finding of restenosis lesions in drug-eluting stents (DESs) after Balloon Angioplasty with Two Different Paclitaxel-Coated Balloons will be compared between two paclitaxel-coated balloon devices; Pantera Lux™ and SeQuent® Please.
The purpose of this project is to objectively assess the change (improvement) in exercise capacity in patients undergoing routine percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for chronic total occlusion (CTO)
The purpose of this study is to compare short-term (6-month Dual Anti Platelet Therapy(DAPT) followed by clopidogrel monotherapy) vs. standard long-term dual antiplatelet strategies (24-month DAPT followed by aspirin monotherapy) on clinically relevant bleeding complications (Bleeding Academic Research Consortium(BARC) type 2, 3, or 5)31 in patients after zotarolimus-eluting stent implantation.
The study tests if intense light could be a potential therapy in humans after myocardial infarction by inducing Per2.
The HeartMate PHP System is a temporary (<6 hours) ventricular assist device indicated for use during high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI) performed electively or urgently in hemodynamically stable patients with severe coronary artery disease, when a heart team, including a cardiac surgeon, has determined high-risk PCI is the appropriate therapeutic option. Use of the HeartMate PHP Systems in these patients may prevent hemodynamic instability, which can result from repeat episodes of reversible myocardial ischemia that occur during planned temporary coronary occlusions and may reduce peri-and post-procedural adverse events.
Primary purpose: To evaluate the evolution in time of the antiaggregant platelet effect of sertraline (SSRI) compared to placebo in depressive patients with ACS (Acute Coronary Syndrome) and treated as recommended by a double antiplatelet therapy, aspirin and clopidogrel. Hypothesis: The benefits of SSRIs observed in depressive patients with ACS are related to an antiplatelet effect.
