Filter by:Recently, a novel distal transradial, through anatomical snuffbox, approach has been proposed for undertaking percutaneous coronary angiography and interventions. The existing literature has evaluated distal transradial access (dTRA) as a feasible and safe approach, with faster hemostasis, lower rates of periprocedural complications and reduced incidence of radial artery occlusion (RAO). Aim of the present study is to compare dTRA versus conventional TRA access in patients with STEMI undergoing coronary angiography and interventions regarding peri- and post-procedural characteristics.
The core hypothesis to be tested is that the radiosurgery of stellate ganglion (left one or both if left-sided without full relief of symptoms) is an effective therapy of refractory angina pectoris in patients with no other therapeutic options - proof of concept study.
The study aims to compare a preventive percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) plus optimal medical treatment (OMT) strategy vs. OMT for treatment of non-functionally significant non-culprit lesions presenting with optical coherence tomography (OCT) findings indicative of vulnerable plaque, in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multivessel disease.
The purpose of this study is to explore the relationship between periodontal disease and coronary artery disease through changes in the gut microbiome. In addition, the investigators aim to find possible periodontal pathogens that have association with cardiovascular disease.
This was a single-center, prospective, open-label, observational study. Patients with coronary artery disease confirmed by coronary angiography and treated with drug-coated balloon catheter alone for target vessels were enrolled in the Cardiology Department of our hospital in January 2022. The primary endpoint was late lumen loss within 12±3 months after surgery.
A prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, open-label, non-inferiority trial. Plan to recruit 240 patients whose lesions are de novo coronary artery disease (reference vessel diameter ≥ 3.0 mm), diameter stenosis ≥ 75% with ischemic symptoms or objective evidence of ischemia (ECG, cardionuclide, or FFR), and are suitable for implantation DES or DCB. After successful preconditioning, patients were randomly assigned to two PCI treatment groups(drug-coated balloon or drug-eluted stent) in a 1:1 ratio. The safety and efficacy of drug-coated balloons in PCI treatment of de novo coronary artery lesions (reference diameter 3.0 mm and above) were evaluated by comparing the late lumen loss of two groups of subjects in 12 months.
Current guidelines for the cardioversion of paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation at the Emergency Department do not prioritize between antiarrhythmic agents and do not consider the time taken for successful cardioversion. Furthermore, the use of flecainide -a class 1C antiarrhythmic agent- is contraindicated for the cardioversion of patients with revascularized coronary artery disease, as well as patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and preserved ejection fraction. These recommendations stem from insufficient data, mainly from the CAST study. The present study is a prospective, multicentre, randomized clinical trial. The primary goals of this clinical trial are to prove the superiority of flecainide over amiodarone in the successful cardioversion of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation at the Emergency Department, and to prove that the safety of flecainide is non-inferior to amiodarone, in patients with coronary artery disease without residual ischemia and ejection fraction over 35%. The secondary goals of the study are to prove the superiority of flecainide over amiodarone in the reduction of hospitalizations from the Emergency Department due to atrial fibrillation, in the time taken to achieve cardioversion, and to the reduction of the need to conduct electrical cardioversion. The study population will be all consecutive new-comers to the Emergency Department with primary diagnosis of paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and history of coronary artery disease without angina, without residual ischemia and with ejection fraction > 35%. The sample size will be 200 patients, who will be monitored for 30 days. At the Emergency Department, all patients will be under continuous ECG monitoring, and a 24-hour ECG device will also be placed (Holter). The patients will be randomized to the treatment group (flecainide) and the control group (amiodarone). Patients in both arms will stay at the ED for a total of 6 hours after therapy initiation. If no adverse events occur in this time, the patient will be discharged from the ED. Otherwise, the patient will be admitted to the hospital. At 24 hours, the patients will visit the study centre for physical examination, ECG, cardiac ultrasound, 24-hour ECG removal and adverse events evaluation. At 30 days, follow-up via phone calls will be conducted for the evaluation of the study outcomes and adverse events.
This study is to compare clinical outcomes between quantitative coronary angiography-guided anatomic complete revascularization and fractional flow reserve-guided physiologic complete revascularization in patients with significant coronary artery disease undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention with drug eluting stent
This study is a prospective, open-label, two-arm, randomized multicenter trial to identify whether immediate multi-vessel PCI would be better in clinical outcomes compared with culprit lesion-only PCI for AMI and multi-vessel disease with an advanced form of CS patients who require veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenator (VA-ECMO).
This prospective, single-arm, multi-center, safety and feasibility first-in-human study will evaluate the safety and feasibility of the SirPlux™ Duo Dual-API Coated PTCA Balloon Catheter to treat de-novo lesions between ≥2.25 and ≤4.0 mm in patients with stable symptomatic coronary artery disease.
