NCT ID: NCT03383393 Recruiting - Coronary Ischemia Clinical Trials

Pharmacologic Treatment of Myocardial Ischemia Detected by Intracoronary ECG

Start date: January 3, 2018
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational [Patient Registry]

After PCI searching for target lesion ischemia with intracoronary ECG will be performed and if found it will be treated pharmacologically

NCT ID: NCT01356836 Completed - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

The Association Between Different Monocyte Subsets and Coronary Collateral Development

Start date: January 2011
Phase: N/A
Study type: Observational

Collateral growth and coronary angiogenesis are chronic adaptations to myocardial ischemia. Collateralization helps to restore blood flow and as a result salvages myocardium in severely ischemic myocardial regions. Thus, good collateral development in patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD) improves ventricular function and prognosis (1-3). However, coronary collateral development is different among patients even with similar degrees of coronary artery stenosis. Several factors, such as diabetes mellitus (4) and duration of myocardial ischemic symptoms (5) have been reported to effect coronary collateral development. At the cellular level, inflammatory cells, especially monocytes have an important role in collateralization. In a series of experimental studies with animals, it has been shown that monocytes are important elements for development of collateral vessels (6-7). In a recent study, it has been demonstrated that increased circulating monocyte count is related to good collateral development in patients with stable coronary artery disease (8). Monocytes in human blood are heterogeneous and can be classified into two subsets according to the presence or absence of the FcγRIII receptor CD16 (9): CD14++CD16- monocytes characterized by high level expression of the CD14 cell surface receptor but no expression of CD16 receptor, and CD14+CD16+ monocytes characterized by the co-expression of CD16 receptor with either high or low level expression of the CD14 receptor. These subsets differ in function and response to several cytokines. Our aim in this study was to find out any possible relationship between the levels of circulating monocyte subsets and coronary collateral development.

Phase II Combination Stem Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Severe Coronary Ischemia(CI)

Start date: November 2008
Phase: Phase 2
Study type: Interventional

The present investigation will be a Phase II, single center, placebo-controlled, randomized, dose escalation, infusion modality (intracoronary vs transendocardial injection using the Cordis Biosense NOGASTAR TM Mapping Catheter with the Biosense MYOSTAR TM left ventricular injection catheter) transplantation of an autologous (your own stem cells) combination of bone marrow-derived stem cells into myocardium for the treatment of severe coronary ischemia. The purpose of this research study is to determine if the infusion of a combination of stem cells obtained from the bone marrow of the same patient will contribute to the formation of new blood vessels in patients with symptomatic severe coronary ischemia(CI). In this trial we will determine whether the combination stem cell treatment is safe, feasible and results in the development of mature stable and/or collateral vessels and improvement of cardiac function. Coronary Ischemia (CI) is intractable angina due to severe coronary artery disease which can seriously decrease blood flow to the heart. CI needs a comprehensive treatment since the condition will not improve on its own. The overall goal of the treatment is to increase blood flow to the heart and improve symptoms of angina. The study hypothesis is based on the concept that the process of formation of new blood vessels is complex and requires the participation of several types of stem cells and growth factors. The lack of any of these components will produce vessels which are immature and unable to provide appropriate blood supply to the heart. Patients eligible to participate in this study are those suffering from severe blockages of the vessels of the heart and are not candidates for percutaneous revascularization or surgical procedures.

NCT ID: NCT00643981 Completed - Clinical trials for Coronary Artery Disease

Combination Stem Cell Therapy for the Treatment of Severe Coronary Ischemia

CI
Start date: February 2008
Phase: Phase 1
Study type: Interventional

The purpose of this research study is to determine if the infusion of a combination of stem cells obtained from the bone marrow of the same patient will contribute to the formation of new blood vessels in patients with symptomatic severe coronary ischemia. In this trial we will study the safe use of this therapy and its effects on making new blood vessels will be evaluated. Coronary ischemia is intractable angina due to severe coronary artery disease which can seriously decrease blood flow to the heart. CI needs a comprehensive treatment since the condition will not improve on its own. The overall goal of the treatment is to increase blood flow to the heart and improve symptoms of angina.

The lack of any of these components will produce vessels which are immature and unable to provide appropriate blood supply to the heart. Patients eligible to participate in this study are those suffering from severe blockages to the vessels of the heart and are not candidates for percutaneous revascularization or surgical procedures. Once the final mixture of stem cells is prepared, the cells will be intracoronary infused through a catheter into the blocked vessel of the heart. Studies will be performed to evaluate if the intracoronary infusion of stem cells is safe, feasible and works. Patients will be evaluated for 6 months after cell transplant.
