Filter by:The researchers are seeking to study whether or not there is benefit in keeping patients flat after Angioseal for extended periods of time after diagnostic heart catheterization or if a more aggressive approach of early ambulation would be just as safe while improving cost and patient comfort.
The foramen ovale is an opening in the interatrial septum. It results from an incomplete coverage of the ostium secundum. In 10 to 24% of the general population incomplete fibrosis of the interatrial septum is a clinical finding and is defined as a patent foramen ovale (PFO). The Nit-Occlud® PFO umbrella is a permanent implant for closing PFOs that is implanted in the PFO using minimally invasive catheter technology. The umbrella is made from Nitinol, a material with superelastic properties, which, in its relaxed state, has the form of a double umbrella. This is a single-center, non-comparative, prospective interventional clinical investigation involving 1 center in Germany to assess the effectiveness, safety and practicability of implantation of the Nit-Occlud PFO® Closure Device.
To assess whether two doses of dabigatran etexilate (110 mg twice daily (b.i.d) and 150 mg twice daily (b.i.d)) as compared to unfractionated heparin (UFH), both in addition to a standard dual antiplatelet regimen, provide sufficient anticoagulation in the setting of elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
