Filter by:Intracoronary optical coherence tomography (OCT) imaging allows for high-resolution characterization of coronary lesions. Difficulties in matching cross-sectional OCT-images with angiographic lesion localization, however, may limit its clinical utilization. The investigators sought to prospectively assess the impact of a novel system of real-time OCT-coregistration with angiography (ACR) compared to OCT alone and to the clinical standard proceeding (angiographic guided-PCI) all used for coronary lesion evaluation before percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). The investigators hypothesize that the use of ACR will lead to less incidence of insufficient covered coronary lesions (geographical mismatch) and/or a less rate of edge dissections after PCI (combined primary study endpoint)
This is a single center, retrospective, observational cohort study to assess the safety and efficacy of drug coated balloon (DCB) angioplasty in all forms of coronary artery disease. The Investigators intend to report outcomes of all patients who received DCB angioplasty at their center during the above mentioned period for up to 10 years.
The purpose is to compare median two-year clinical outcome after OCT guided vs. standard guided revascularization of patients requiring complex bifurcation stent implantation
It is known that laughter can bring benefits in terms of physiological and psychological parameters, in addition to improving the individual's quality of life. However, the literature is still scarce as to the existence of studies investigating the effects of a comedy film specifically in hemodynamics.
The aim of the Danish Organization for Randomized Trials with Clinical Outcome (SORT OUT) is to compare the safety and efficacy of the polymer-free Biolimus-eluting BIOFREEDOM stent with a biodegradable-polymer Sirolimus-eluting ORSIRO stent in a population-based setting, using registry detection of clinically driven events
A single-centre double-blind placebo-controlled crossover randomised controlled trial to determine the physiological basis of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor activation on exercise haemodynamics, as manifest through specific electrophysiological parameters measured by serial exercise stress testing, in those patients with reversible myocardial ischaemia and obstructive coronary artery disease confirmed by a baseline exercise test and coronary angiography respectively.
Background: Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery often experience a range of problems and symptoms related to the procedure and the underlying heart disease.These problems include anxiety and depressive symptoms, immobility issues, complications such as wound seeping, neck and shoulder pains, interrupted and insufficient sleep. No studies have tested a combined intervention on phase 1 rehabilitation in coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients. However, randomised trials with either a physical or a mental part have been conducted with positive result, but evidence is lacking for a combined intervention. Before a large randomised trial was set up a pilot trial was conducted to evaluate the feasibility of patient recruitment and intervention: to test the safety and tolerability of the intervention by patients and to provide outcome data for sample size calculations. The SheppHeartCABG pilot showed trial feasibility, safety and sufficient inclusion rate and high compliance with most elements. Outcome data from the pilot trial has been used to sample size and power calculation in this randomised clinical trial. Objective: The objective of this trial is to investigate the benefits and harms of a phase 1 comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation programme consisting of an exercise-training and a psycho-educative component, including plus treatment as usual in patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting.
To evaluate the effect on cognitive function, recovery, cardioprotection and haemodynamics of standard Remifentanil anaesthesia to standard Sufentanil anaesthesia in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass with or without aortic valve replacement.
Patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery often experience a range of problems and symptoms related to the procedure and the underlying heart disease. These problems include anxiety and depressive symptoms, immobility issues, complications such as wound seeping, neck and shoulder pains, interrupted and insufficient sleep. Over the last 2 decades, cardiac rehabilitation has become recognized as a significant component in the continuum of care for persons with cardiovascular disease. Furthermore, cardiac rehabilitation has undergone a significant evolution moving from a focused exercise intervention to a comprehensive disease management program. In Guidelines for Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery cardiac rehabilitation is described to include early ambulation during hospitalisation, and outpatient prescriptive exercise training beginning 6-8 weeks following surgery. Our hypothesis is that physical exercise with moderate intensity and a psycho-educative component as a part of cardiac rehabilitation can begin in early postoperatively during hospitalising. Results from studies on phase 1 rehabilitation in coronary artery bypass graft surgery patients are promising. However, no randomised trials have been conducted, and evidence is therefore lacking. The objective of this pilot trial is to investigate the effect of a phase 1 comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation programme consisting of a psycho-educative component, an exercise-training component including pulmonary training, cycling, neck and shoulder exercises, these in combination plus treatment as usual and treatment as usual in patients who undergo coronary artery bypass grafting. SheppHeartCABG is an investigator-initiated 2 x 2 factorial randomised clinical pilot trial with blinded outcome assessment. Recruitment from one site with 1:1:1:1 central randomisation to phase 1 rehabilitation; 1) exercise-training plus usual care, 2) psycho-educative plus usual care 3) exercise-training and psycho-educative plus usual, 4) usual care alone.
The objective is to investigate the effect of a comprehensive sexual rehabilitation program, consisting of a psycho-educative component and a physical exercise component. The primary hypothesis is that, a comprehensive sexual rehabilitation program improves sexual function.
