Filter by:The purpose of this research study is to perfect the technique of EVLP and learn about the safety of transplanting lungs that have been ventilated (attached to a breathing machine or ventilator to deliver oxygen) and perfused with a lung perfusion solution (Steen solution™, made by Vitrolife). This ventilation and perfusion will be done outside the body (ex-vivo) in a modified cardiopulmonary bypass circuit (the kind of device used routinely during most heart surgeries). The purpose of performing ex-vivo lung perfusion and ventilation (EVLP) is to learn how well the lungs work, and whether they are likely safe to transplant.
The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that TIPS with the GORE® VIATORR® TIPS Endoprosthesis improves transplant-free survival compared to LVP alone in patients who have cirrhosis of the liver with portal hypertension and difficult to treat ascites.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the safety and efficacy of the blood pressure medication, aliskiren, in heart transplant patients. In terms of safety, the investigators will evaluate the blood levels of aliskiren and determine if aliskiren alters the blood levels of the anti-rejection medication, cyclosporine, in these patients. In terms of efficacy, the investigators will determine how well aliskiren lowers blood pressure in heart transplant patients.
RATIONALE: Benazepril hydrochloride, lisinopril, ramipril, and losartan potassium may help lower blood pressure. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well benazepril hydrochloride, lisinopril, ramipril, or losartan potassium works in treating hypertension in patients with solid tumors.
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of intensive blood pressure control compared to standard blood pressure control on progression of coronary atherosclerosis by intravascular ultrasound in hypertensive patients with coronary artery disease.
Treatment and control of hypertension is still insufficient. About 50% of the patients remain uncontrolled. Lack of compliance with discontinuation of drug treatment is an important reason for not achieving blood pressure. Several studies have shown that use of fixed combinations improve compliance significantly, by reducing the number of pill's intake. This study will assess the antihypertensive efficacy of Vasodip-Combo 20® [enalapril 20 mg + lercanidipine 10 mg] as a fixed combination drug in uncontrolled antihypertensive patients.
The safety and efficacy at 100 mg once daily for oral dose of sitaxentan sodium were demonstrated in the STRIDE clinical trial program. Sitaxentan sodium was approved in the EU, Canada and Australia. In this study, the long-term safety and efficacy after administrations of sitaxentan sodium at a dose of 100 mg alone or in combination with another medication will be investigated in Japanese PAH patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine if Nebivolol has any effect on heart function determined by changes in echocardiographic data or exercise tolerance.
The safety and efficacy at 100 mg once daily for oral dose of sitaxentan sodium were demonstrated in the STRIDE clinical trial program. Sitaxentan sodium was approved in the EU, Canada and Australia. In this study, the safety and efficacy after administrations of sitaxentan sodium at a dose of 100 mg alone or in combination with another medication will be investigated in Japanese PAH patients.
The purpose of this study is to determine the safety, tolerability and efficacy of Amlodipine and Olmesartan medoxomil among Hypertensive Filipino patients.
