Researchers are looking for a better way to prevent an ischemic stroke which occurs when a blood clot travelled to the brain in people who within the last 72 hours had: - an acute stroke due to a blood clot that formed outside the heart (acute non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke), or - TIA/mini-stroke with a high risk of turning into a stroke (high-risk transient ischemic attack), and who are planned to receive standard of care therapy. Acute ischemic strokes or TIA/mini-stroke result from a blocked or reduced blood flow to a part of the brain. They are caused by blood clots that travel to the brain and block the vessels that supply it. If these blood clots form elsewhere than in the heart, the stroke is called non-cardioembolic. People who already had a non-cardioembolic stroke are more likely to have another stroke. This is why they are treated preventively with an antiplatelet therapy, the current standard of care. Antiplatelet medicines prevent platelets, components of blood clotting, from clumping together. Anticoagulants are another type of medicine that prevents blood clots from forming by interfering with a process known as coagulation (or blood clotting). The study treatment asundexian is a new type of anticoagulant currently under development to provide further treatment options. Asundexian aims to further improve the standard of care without increasing the risk of bleeding. The main purpose of this study is to learn whether asundexian works better than placebo at reducing ischemic strokes in participants who recently had a non-cardioembolic ischemic stroke or TIA/mini-stroke when given in addition to standard antiplatelet therapy. A placebo is a treatment that looks like a medicine but does not have any medicine in it. Another aim is to compare the occurrence of major bleeding events during the study between the asundexian and the placebo group. Major bleedings have a serious or even life-threatening impact on a person's health. Dependent on the treatment group, the participants will either take asundexian or placebo once a day for at least 3 months up to 31 months. Approximately every 3 months during the treatment period, either a phone call or a visit to the study site is scheduled on an alternating basis. In addition, one visit before and up to two visits after the treatment period are planned. During the study, the study team will: - Check vital signs such as blood pressure and heart rate - Examine the participants' heart health using an electrocardiogram (ECG) - Take blood samples - Ask the participants questions about how they are feeling and what adverse events they are having. An adverse event is any medical problem that a participant has during a study. Doctors keep track of all adverse events that happen in studies, even if they do not think the adverse events might be related to the study treatments. In addition, the participants will be asked to complete a questionnaire on quality of life at certain time points during the study.
The role of soluble circulating suppression of tumorigenicity 2 biomarker (sST2) in the ischemic heart disease patient is a debatable point. Therefore the aims of this study are to assess the plasma level of sST2 in ischemic heart disease patients versus non-ischemic ones, the acute changes in its level after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and its relation to the severity of ischemia.
The goal of this clinical trial is to assess coronary artery plaque burden, perivascular inflammation and extent of myocardial ischemia in patients presenting with acute myocardial infarction and non-obstructive coronary artery disease. The main question it aims to answer are: - Identify coronary artery anatomy, plaque burden, composition and high-risk plaque features by CT coronary angiography in MINOCA - Assess presence, extent and severity of myocardial ischemia in MINOCA Participants will examined by CT coronary angiography and stress [12N] NH3 PET-MR.
In order to assessment the safety and efficacy of debulking atherectomy versus stent angioplasty for limb ischaemia of diabetic lower limb atherosclerosis-occlusive disease, we intend to conduct a prospective, multicenter, randomized controlled, non-inferiority trial. The main surgical methods included stent angioplasty group (Nickel-titanium self-expanding bare stent) and debulking atherectomy group (Excimer laser atherectomy combined with drug-coated balloon angioplasty). The sample size was 244 patients, and the patients were followed up at 30 days, 180 days, and 365 days after operation.
Heart failure (HF) and acute myocardial infarction that often follows are among the main causes of disability and death worldwide. As such, new treatments and biological drugs are needed to protect the heart against the harmful effects of ischemia and also reperfusion injury (IRI), preserve cardiac function, reduce the zone of myocardial infarction (MI), and improve patient outcomes. In this regard, it has been shown that mitochondrial dysfunction has a key role in the pathogenesis of heart ischemia, cardiomyopathy, and reperfusion injury. in this study which includes 4 groups of intervention, we try to minimize the damage by transplantation of mitochondria and administration of MSC-derived exosomes. MSC-derived exosomes limit inflammatory damage while fresh autologous exosomes limit oxidative stress.
This is a prospective, multicenter, cohort study aiming to compare the safety and efficacy of Embotrap stent retriever to other stent retrievers without inner channel for acute middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO). All enrolled patients will be followed up at 90 days after randomization.
The aim of this study is to evaluate the safety and effectivity of Ginkgo diterpene lactone meglumine injection tn the treatment of acute ischemic stroke
As a simple auxiliary tool for lower extremity orthopedic surgery, tourniquet can effectively reduce intraoperative bleeding and ensure the clarity of the operative field, effectively shorten the operation time and improve the operation efficiency. The extensive use of tourniquets in lower extremity surgery will not only cause local paralysis, pain and other complications, but also bring about postoperative complications such as large drainage volume and deep vein thrombosis. Recent studies have found that tourniquet induced ischemia-reperfusion injury not only affects the local tissue structure and function of skeletal muscle, but also causes reperfusion injury in distant organs (such as heart, lung and brain). Therefore, improving tourniquet ischemia-reperfusion injury after knee replacement is of great significance to improve the quality of life of patients during the perioperative period. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate the effects of dexmedetomidine and tourniquet pretreatment on myocardial injury and brain injury caused by lower extremity ischemia-reperfusion.
The objective of this study is to create a comprehensive, real-world, multi-center observational registry of consecutive patients admitted to hospitals with acute ischemic stroke (AIS) caused by large vessel occlusions (LVO), who are treated with either endovascular therapy (EVT) or the best available medical management (BMM).
