Filter by:The OPTICO-ACS- study program - combining for the first time in vivo characterization of the ACS-causing "culprit lesion" by intracoronary imaging technique with optical coherence tomography (OCT) and molecular analysis of immune-cells derived from the culprit coronary thrombus and biochemical analyses in patients with acute-coronary-syndrome (ACS).
This trial will evaluate Orbital Atherectomy compared to conventional balloon angioplasty technique for the treatment of severely calcified lesions prior to implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES).
Recurrent myocardial infarctions (reinfarctions) can be due to recurrence at the original treatment site, the presence of untreated lesions elsewhere, or in progressive lesions. There are scarce published data describing the localization (affected vessel/s) and severity (NSTE-ACS/STE-ACS) of reinfarction(s) compared to the index MI (e.g proportion of recurrent infarctions in the previously diseased vessel) in large unselected patient populations. If reinfarctions are generally more severe than index MI/recurrent MI(s), this might have implications for choice of treatment and treatment length. Moreover, data from unselected patient populations on the overall incidence pattern/rate of patients experiencing multiple reinfarctions is sparse. Patients who experience multiple ischemic events may be a subset of patients who are poor responders to therapy. There is also a possibility that patients with multiple events are less likely to have received evidence-based therapy such as coronary stenting, novel and more effective antithrombotics and modern lipid lowering treatment for the initial event. Poor adherence to secondary prevention measures (e.g. low compliance to medication and adherence to cardiac rehabilitation programs) may also increase the risk of recurrent events. Therefore identification of the baseline characteristics, including treatment decision strategies in the setting of a myocardial infarction, among such subjects may allow modifications of the clinical management strategy prior to the occurrence of subsequent ischemic events. Such modifications could include providing a more intensive or additional therapy in certain patient groups or find strategies to improve patient adherence and drug compliance. A patient with reinfarctions requires more hospitalizations, treatments, laboratory tests, and out-patient visits, resulting in overall increased costs. From the patient perspective, recurrent events result in higher mortality and worsened quality of life.
Exploratory Phase II Clinical Trial to Evaluate the Efficacy and Safety of Clotinab® (Abciximab) in Acute Myocardial Infarction Patients: Multicenter, Randomized, Double-Blind, Placebo-controlled and Parallel Group Trial
This protocol describes a prospective, multi-center study intended to test the hypothesis that patients with STEMI caused by plaque rupture or plaque erosion without obstructive stenosis (diameter stenosis <70%) can be stabilized by effective antithrombotic treatment without stent implantation, thereby avoiding both early and late complications related to percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with stent implantation. All the patients will be followed by intracoronary OCT and physiological assessment at 1-month and 12-month follow-up.
The CLEAR SYNERGY trial will study the long term effects of treatments following PCI to treat myocardial infarction. These treatments address both the culprit artery (PCI with SYNERGY stent) as well as the non-culprit arteries (randomization to routine colchicine and spironolactone).
To compare coronary healing after optical coherence tomography guided versus conventionally angiography guided percutaneous coronary intervention with the Magmaris bioresorbable scaffold.
This study is designed to determine the safety, pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics of a single intravenous dose of TS23 in healthy adults.
This study evaluates whether achieving 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH] Vit D) levels (>40 ng/mL) among myocardial infarction patients will result in a reduction of cardiovascular-related adverse events. Half of the patients will be randomized to receive standard of care and half will receive clinical management of 25[OH] Vit D levels.
CARIM is a prospective cohort of 2,000 patients with a first myocardial infarction and undergoing reperfusion therapy. Therefore, male and female patients older than 18 years and younger than 90 years with onset of chest pain of less than 12 hours who need a primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for a ST elevation segment MI (STEMI) will be recruited.
